Uneven Picture After Service - Help Needed

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

Art,

I had the service done about 6 months ago and didn't notice it until
recently. I was very busy with finishing up grad school and planning
my wedding, and I didn't really have time to watch TV. Lately, I've
been watching alot, especially since I got digital cable and I noticed
that the picture shape was slightly off. I took a look at some DVDs
also to make sure that it didn't have anything to do with the new cable
box and I saw the same thing. Anyway, it might just be easier to make
the adjustments myself if possible through the available service menus.
L Alpert recommended Leonard Caillouet as a resource who might know.
Hopefully, he'll come across this thread. If you have any ideas, feel
free to share.

Thanks,
Victor

Who did the service for you? Seems if you compensated a tech to do the work
they are responsible to complete it competently.

Could always call Thomson, subscribe for the Service Literature after
becoming an authorized servicer, and then do all the pertainent adjustments.
Clearly a job for a professional, mess up the wrong parementres in the
service menu and you migh as well put a eye hook into the top of the set,
IMHO!

I noted the thread. What you need is a careful geometry alignment and this
is something that can be tricky if you are not very familiar with the
controls on the specific series of sets, familiar with the concepts of
convergence in RPTV, and very experienced. I would not even begin to try to
talk you through it. There are too many variables involved and the set has
been serviced by someone who obviously did not align it properly. It might
have come out of the box that way and he just matched the red to the other
existing alignments or he might have just screwed it up. If you have some
specific questions I can answer them, but a tutorial on how to fix your set
is impractical.

TCE is unlikely to provide service literature on the Mitsubishi.
