20 Most Recent JVC AV-56WP74 56" Rear Projection HDTV-Ready Television - Page 5 Questions & Answers

hello, please do check if the television have side button, if it does check for the menu button, do press the menu button and follow other instructions that follows

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV 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, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit from the link below.

Common Symptoms include....

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.
• TV shuts off after powering on - TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.





Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the settings menu then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move RED and BLUE in all directions - up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions or cant move them far enough your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

Note: If you TV has as flash focus or magic focus button only try pressing the button. If it fails to fix the convergence your need to fix it. See below for a solution

CONVERGENCE SOLUTION

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses.
This is a a fairly easy DIY job if you know what you are doing. If you have never done this before we would advise calling a shop or if you want to do it yourself get a complete kit with instructions and support from www.TvRepairKits.com

very common problem caused by failure of the convergence ICs. You can get the AV48WP74 convergence repair kit from www.tvrepairworld.com which has the ICs, Resistors and also contains the instructions on CD

This is the start relay trying to fire the display. I suspect that the caps on the board have fried themselves. It's not a DIY job as the replacement board needs to undergo tuning and realignment with special tool to create hatch pattern and to align the convergence or color engine.
Those that have tried thinking they can do what a PC fix can usually end up sepending more money and down time than if they has taken it to a professional.

Unplug the tv for 1 minute, check the power source make sure another electronic such as a lamp or radio works in the outlet. Try to turn the tv back on and if there is no power, no lights at all then the power supply in the tv is the issue and it will need to be serviced.

Projection TV sets have two very common problems listed below.

Problem #1) Convergence


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 more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

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

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2 - Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture

Ur tv have convergence problems,it dead.U must have soldering tools and know how to solders to fix the convergence problems.U must replaced 2 STK convergence ICS,and some or all it resistors.Tries websites like Tv repair World.com,Tvrepairkits.com to buy a convergence kit to repair it ur self.The shop will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

check for 2 STK 392-110 and fuses resistors around them. Put new heat sink compound with the new STK.

Please describe more----colors out of shape and bowed picture?

SD TECH

Hi,It seems to be a problem with your lcos chips.This is how your technology works: http://www.howstuffworks.com/lcos.htm Basically what's in charge of creating your colors and image is those 3 chips.When they start to get faulty you will have vertical lines,color distortion,fuzzy pictures,colored hues.In order to fix your problem you will need to replace the light engine sometimes the price is to costly(almost as a brand new tv) I will recommend to get a tech to replace it since its a very fragile part.Have a bless one!

Check all of the large resistors on the convergence board. Usually at least one will be fried. Most likely, the 2.2 ohm if I remember correctly. Of course, make sure all the plugs are correct and plugged in.

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

It sounds like you can have optical engine issue. That's if green tint was show up very gradually, until one day it really caught your attention.Normally some parts of the screen more green than other. It should get progressively worse. To solve this issue optical engine have to be replaced. It is pretty expensive repair if your TV is out of the warranty.
In case if tint appeared suddenly in one moment - you can try to check component cable connection on the back of your TV if you are using one ( green, blue and red colored). Sometimes it's loose or after disconnection people reconnecting it in wrong way.
Experienced tech will determine if optical engine is bad by running test patterns in special service mode. If green tint present on Grey scale - optical engine is bad.
Sorry for bad news.

The AV56WP74 has three CRTs instead of a lamp. You can get parts from www.tvrepairworld.com

U replaced 2 STK convergence ICS right?U check all the resistors too,and replaced it right?The convergence problems usally reset it back by it self.If all convegence parts are replaced correctly,and finish.

Ur CRT red gun is dead.Must hire the repairman for this job.It require part is hard to find,and alot of work and electronics skills to do this job.

If it will turn on manually the ir sensor on the control panel could need replacment providing that the remote is ok.

You have one of two problems. Sometimes both.

Problem #1) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

Picture of a set that needs the fluid changed.

Solution #1


What you will need to do is replace the coolant and clean the crt. You can get a repair kit from www.TvRepairKits.com that includes replacement coolant, photos. instructions, etc.

Problem #2)

Your TV may have a convergence failure. ( common problem )

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.

You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

Solution # 2

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses. Its a fairly easy DIY job or you can hire a pro. If you want to do the repair yourself check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. Their kits include a step by step picture instruction guide, original OEM parts, convergence resistors, pico fuses, thermal paste, email/phone support, etc.
