1st Gen 1999 Sony Hi-Def TV

Posted by tesla on December 3, 2014 at 10:21:51:
Yes, your right, I could buya newer tv for peanuts. But this tv has such an amazing pic, I want to keep it.

The problem is not with the Hi-Def part, it is great.

The problem is the low-def picure, it is distorted by 5 transparent vertical bars running from top to bottom. (Ihave the service manual, and there is no mention of this problem.)

I've called Sony, they offer no help except to refer me to a repair shop. I am a technician, and I see it as a challenge to attempt repair.

I doubt anyone here knows the answer, but I wonder if there is a forum somewhere that someone might have run across it.

Thank you for any help.
