Without knowing what type/brand/model tv you have, sounds like the horizontal oscillator is starting to miss it's sync pulse from the sync separator. Which direction does it scroll? Though the way TV circuits are for standard CRTS now, most of all that is contained in what we call a video...

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I was wondering if any of ya'll would know where one could buy Caig's Pro Gold online? Google didn't have much.

If this was my room, I would rotate what's in room picture left 90 degrees ie left main where left surround is. That would allow me to mount the surrounds on the wall and have entry to theater from rear for guests and also allow a more balanced front sound stage, assuming that on the 18'11" wall...

Coming from stuff I've been reading: For home theater: ranges from just high enough to clear heads, to ear level when standing, to 2-3 feet above heads when seated. Experiment! Find what sounds good to you but keep same height for both. Try 6' first. I find that just right for me. The...

I have the RX8000 about 1.5 yrs now. The 8030 is its replacement. Pretty good for the money. It's not the best but not the worst either. Easy to use. It does its job. If you have +2000 cubic ft room, you might want more power to be able to hit 85 dBC reference levels. If you like it - buy it...

Stands seems to be the best setup for the adps and Atoms, try to raise them up a bit if you can maybe 6-12" above head so that everyone can get clear line of sight above other heads. It will not sound right any other way. If the floor is the only choice then sell adps and use atoms upward...

Amazon for Avia Amazon for Video Essentials I have Avia so I'm familiar with it, but I think Video Essentials has the same patterns. Hopefully someone here can chime in on that.

John, Did what I post make any sense to you or help to clear up your questions? If so I was happy to help.

Chuck, use Avia geometry tests to see if the convergence (colored edges/fringes) is good. If not good, you can see if tech can improve it some. If good, then the shadow mask sounds damaged. Just set white level correctly. Jeremy, the color purity adjustments should be covered under warranty...

Sorry I couldn't get my post finished. Dang server. Everything is working like it should. My other post should explain a bit better what I meant since I edited it. Forgot to add that 16x9 (1.78:1 ratio) tvs will have letterboxing for ratios greater than 1.78:1 because the tv isn't wide...

Anamorphic (squeeze) uses all of the 720x480 pixels, which is BTW 1.33:1 ratio, available in the dvd format to encode all the vertical film info available. It's also used in the film process to "squeeze" the widescreen aspect ratio onto a 35mm film frame, which is 1.33:1 ratio, without wasting...

I just realized something. If you want the On Screen Display aspect of receiver, you'll need the composite out of receiver to composite in of tv unless your receiver outputs its display over component.

Sounds like the tech only paid attention to the center of screen instead of the whole screen when adjusting the focus setting on the flyback transformer. It's a compromise setting to get best quality overall It should be under warranty by the tech/service center, right? If you have any...

If you are using the receiver to switch video like I think you are, then you'll ALSO need to run a composite cable from receiver "tv/monitor out" composite (yellow) to tv composite (yellow) "in" to watch the cable and setup tv for that input. Receiver doesn't change video format. Composite in to...

Try setting the impedance to the setting for 8 ohm with volumne low. See if that works. If it doesn't than I think your receiver has a failure in the switching from 2ch to surround operation. The L/R Front amps are fine but they are switched into different modes especially if 2ch mode uses...

Not much unless you want to call in a tech to adjust convergence, or learn how to do it on your own; you'll need a service manual and crosshatch patterns for the tv.

1) Be careful with the language here. Might want to edit that out quickly. 2) Yes, you can use an un-used video input's audio for your mp3s. Just make sure you know about ground loops here.

Try a different set of interconnects and routing them away from any power cables and if they must cross each other, cross them perpendicularly as best you can. Also try not to use an extension cord for the plasma if you can. I've heard that plasmas can be very sensitive to their power input...

Ground loops info and solving More troubleshooting If you have had this tv and system for a while and nothing has been changed/added by you and it just now starting this, there maybe a bad capacitor somewhere. Disconnect everything. Temporarily put a pair of rabbit ears on and see if you...

Sounds like color purity problems. The de-guassing circuit may not be working right or the purity rings got bumped somehow on the yoke or see below. Did you just recently move the tv? Changing the alignment of tv with the Earth's magnetic field can cause purity problems solved by...

Hopefully this will get you started. Avia is great for test patterns.

Do black and white pictures (gray scale tracking) look good with tint control set to factory default - any slight predominate coloring - red, green, blue, magenta, cyan, or yellow? If there is some then you need tv tech house call. The de-gaussing circuit failure, if there is one, would also...

Check your contrast setting. Have Avia or equivalent? Needlepulse/steps pattern. There maybe a problem with the high voltage side. Too much beam current maybe. If not under warranty might want to call in a tv tech or if you are up to it check this out and try to fix yourself. Read this first...

This might be a good read for you Ronald.

Usually contrast set too high on a non-motion picture is burn-in. Actually the electron beam current is too high. To prevent it turn down contrast using needle pulse/steps pattern until you see no increase in white level with furthur upward adjustment and no blooming. This might be a good...

You'll need a disc like Avia or equivalent. You might want to take it to a service center if still under warranty. Link Removed. You might post your question here. They have forums for each major manufacturer. You might want to ask this guy if he can get the service manual/data sheet...

If the whole picture is rotated then the deflection yoke needs to be rotated to correct. You'll need a dvd or test tape that has a crosshatch pattern recorded; Avia has them in Video section under "geometry tests". Play back then loosen the clamp screw on yoke and carefully rotate the whole...
