you have a failed IC resistor usually you can physically see the bad one because it burns out leaving you to guess what the value was. Hitachi offers a convergence fix kit which has 2 IC's and all approiate resistors.

Convergence IC's must be changed to start repair..original...
STK392-110 sub to Hitachi upgrade STK394-160E.....PART #
CZ 01341...you need two....
Next, take a critical look at the B+ feed resistors near the IC's..
check for over-heat / damage......usually 2.2 ohm 2 watt......
Let me know....................T.
