Question about Mitsubishi VS-55705 55" Rear Projection Television

Older rear projection tv

I have an older rear projection Mitsubishi tv. I have sound, but every once in awhile the picture would just go out. Sometimes it will come right back on after a few mintues, then there have been times I cut it off for awhile and then it will come back on. There are times when I've had to leave it off for a whole day and it would stay on for a month or more. Is it a fuse or connection wire loose?

I have the identical model, purchased in early 2000. I had the same issue, and called Mitsubishi service. Turns out there is a known problem with the video power supply. Mine was under warranty when it was repaired (in 2002), but by now yours probably is not. I recall the repair guy did the fix with no parts, just a soldering iron. If you're handy, you can probably get the details from MITS service and try the repair yourself. If not, I suggest the repairman route.

Cannot figure out how to connect my new sound bar to my older TV

Use a high speed HDMI cable form the TV to the sound bar. HDMI cables carry sound as well as picture signals. Refer to your TV's user manual http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/pdf/52527-62528.pdf
and the Samsung product support page http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/HW-F450/ZA for assistance

My samsung tv hlr5067wx/xaa screen turns black, sounds is fine. if i turn it off for awhile i can get picture for a few minutes, but it goes back to black screen

I suspect the lamp is failing on your TV. The lamp replacement code is listed on the side of the TV on a sticker that is orange and white. It will start with BP96-. The lamp code is crucial on these older Samsung DLP's because they used quite a few different styles. Please take a few moments to rate my answer. Thank you...

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR LAMP IS OUT. AS FAR AS WHAT MITSUBISHI IS DOING THEIR NEWER DLP'S THEY REDUCED THE COST OF THE LAMPS TO $99. BUT ON THESE OLDER ONES THEY ARE DOING NOTHING.
