Sounds like the polarizing film is burnt on one of the three colored lenses that are located next to the projector itself. In order to fix this this it is necessary to remove the ballast and projector units, then disassemble the projector housing to expose the lenses. there are green, blue and vermillion (reddish) lenses. the vermillion lense is the one that causes the yellow tint after it has been damaged.
searching for the pt-43lc14-k service manual (the 'k' version is the more complete one) will provide you with daigrams and such.
I am currently undergoing this repair myself, thus far we have disassembled the television and are waiting on new vermillion polarizing film in order to complete the reapir. Good Luck, it isn't too difficult. Just take lots of digital camera pics (for screw location and sizing) and you should be fine.

The color seems to be fading. There is a dull yellowish tint to everything it plays.

The tint you are seenig is most likely the lcd panels developing thermal damage due to the projector being improperly shut down. The projector should always be shut down using the remote or the power button on top of the projector. OR if this projector is ceiling mounted it could have blocked ventilation or if used in a smoky environment it could be smoke stained.

Projector displaying yellow tint in center of screen.

The yellow tint is probably coming from the lens. It could be that the glass is tempered or possibly just needs to be cleaned.

Yellowish tint on JVC Rear projection TV

I found out it was a bad light engine. The repair cost is $1,700. I'm glad it's still under warranty.

Greenish yellowish tint on the tv

I have been advised that the color/light engine of the TV fails often and will typically create a green tint on this unit. I have one on order to get a replacement installed. BTW, it is not "user serviceable" and (for me) will require moving the TV to the repair shop for the change-out.
