My Samsung HLR5067W has a black bar that runs from top to bottom on the left side of the screen. Replaced the light tunnel and now the black bar is larger than before. Any ideas?
When replacing the light tunnel, the new one must be installed exactly as the old one came out. This can only be done by marking the screws and backing them our exactly 3 or 4 revolutions and then tightening the new one the exact same revolutions. When looking into the old tunnel you should have been able to see the mirror that came unglued to ensure that was the problem. The problem now can be corrected by loosening the screws on the dmd bd and manually adusting the dmd position in association of how it hits the dlp chip.
If you are watching television and you see black lines on the left and right sides of the screen, check to see if you are watching an HD broadcast or a standard definition broadcast. You can do this by bringing up the TV guide menu on your remote. If the show is in HD, it should take up the full screen. However, if it is not HD, bars will be present on the left and right of the screen. That is because standard definition programing is in 4x3, which will not take up the entire screen. If the picture you are watching not only has black bars on the sides, but on the tops and bottoms of the screen as well, your "Zoom" mode has somehow gotten off-kilter. Press the "Zoom" button on the remote until the image appears correct. If this does not work, power down the television, wait a few moments, and power the TV back on. The image should be correct now. If the image on the screen looks stretched or squished, this is because your HD cable receiver is not set up properly for your widescreen television. Press the "Menu" button on the receiver
