Tuning an RCA rear projection

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Hello all,

I am holding onto my friends RCA D52W20 set for about a year. I also just
got HDTV via Adelphia this week. The thing is nice, no doubt, but Im sure
it could be professionally aligned.

My question is this: Will Sears do a good job of service in this regard?
It was purchased there and there is a warranty. I dont know what level of
warranty yet, but Ill assume its not a service plan. What kind of costs
should I expect on something like this?

Thanks group,
SL
