Sony rear video projector.KP-53S65. Turned on the TV today and has a double image and the colors are off. No previous malfunction. Any suggestions?

Sounds like convergence problem. Fixing the problem requires removing, desoldering and soldering the convergence ICs.
The repair for this may go for a couple Hundred or more..
Best of luck

possible crt problem, they have to be reseated, if not then the convergence is failing expect to pay around $300-350

you need to get into the service menu on the tv and adjust some values you can find these values online but i would highly recomend that you get a service centre to look in to this ,
i've done mine my self but if you hit the wrong valuye you could mess the whole tv up there are about three pages full.
hope this helps

convergence amplifier ICS !!! replace them and associated pico fuses ICS # start with STK

The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.

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 a convergenece repair kit with instructions from the links below.

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

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align

Problem #2

get the tv degaused that should fix the problem

you will need a pal/ntsc digital video converter

While the root of the problem is likely the picture tubes aging, I'm sure it would benefit from a cleaning and adjusting. After the dust is cleaned from the lenses, the screen controls could likely be lowered to get the blacks you desire. An experienced tech would be able to do this for you.
