Projection not functioning properly

If the model number is correct is color (ge 46gw947) 3 d or skewed looking?

ALMOST ANY RCA OR GE MADE AT THE TIME WILL USE A COMPATABLE ONE.

SENSOR IS LOCATED ON TINY PC BOARD IN FRONT OF CRT LENS.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.
• TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some images of convergence problems.

CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT IS ON THE FRONT CONTROL ON TV

Dear Sirs..

I have a GE rear projection TV and would like to know where the contrast adjustment is ?
Thank You Brian

Sounds like something wrong in the tuner circuit How about performing a by-pass test? Use the A/V 1 or 2 inputs on the bottom rear of tv to hook-up signal.Use dvd or source box.When the set is cold,turn on and check.If the pix & sound are good,then the tv has a tuner problem. If you can live with two inputs,no repairs need to be done.Caution:observe funky,side-ways hook-up on A/V 2 !!!
