Signal Problem I have a Hitachi projection Tv model # 57UWX20B appears to have a reception or a signal problem, I have raster, audio and PIP, there is no video and any channels except in PIP mode, all channels a scrambled as if there is no signal, I have checked and replaced the main tuner, checked cable connections, resistors, and power supply board, all checked ok, checked flybact transformer, I still can't get a picture to come up. Need help.

visit a glass store to help you remove or patch the glass... something like to make glass glossy like on a metal polisher...

Does the PIP button do anything to / for the box? It is just that it is tuned to an input with no signal, you should be able to remove it though with the PIP button...

Let me know what the PIP button does, if nothing that's very strange, but let me know and I can help you fix it.


Thanks
Tim

Projection TV sets have two very common problems listed below.

Problem #1) Convergence


These sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the picture to look normal. This is called convergence.

When its out of alignment the video will look 3-D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired. Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony, Samsung,JVC,Philip Magnavox,Panasonic,Akai,Pioneer, Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2 - Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture

You can see some more examples and find a fix using this link on Fixya http://www.fixya.com/support/r2861467-solution_video_looking_whiteish_dull

First of all there is no light engine inside your set. Your model is CRT based. Can you better describe what you mean by the green only working occasionally? What exactly is the picture doing? Also, please confirm that your model is: 57UWX20B.

Thanks,

Just a note, I am getting ready to buy the same TV. The person I am buying the TV from says the same thing. Not sure of the answer, but If you have the answer now I would like to know. As far as the sound goes, you will have to hook it up separately, the HDMI-DVI (Digital Video input) Video being the key word, it doesnt carry the audio signal. I hope to figure the problem out this weekend when I actually get te TV and try a few things.

White raster with no signal, washed out looking video with signal. Access the service menu, "menu 0357" use the audio button to select "video chroma" adjustments, use the video button to select item "40 - AGIW", use the adjust button to change the setting to 0, then press the enter button to store the change

Are you using the AV outputs on the Receiver and not the composite grn-red-blue. Do you have the converter jack on the back by the ant. input? what souce on the set are you using for PIP and your main screen?

Split incoming signal = half to each tuner ( RF coax in ) or
half to RF in and half to DVR, cable box or VCR tuner then to
Video input..........................
