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

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

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 call in a pro. If you want to do the repair yourself check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, thermal paste, email/phone support, etc.

That's a common problem with that model the auto convergence option would disappear from the setup menu. But it's a very easy and inexpensive repair that you can do yourself. You can get the RCA repair kit called the ITC 222 and ITC 222 A chassis convergence option missing repair kit. The kit contains the FL 231, DL 231, CL 030 and also has repair instructions on CD. Is $25 from www.tvrepairworld.com listed under their RCA repair kit category.

PT-53WX42F Panasonic Cinemavision Fresnel / Lenticular screens for cheap

That was an expensive mistake, sorry to hear about it.

I checked with the factory and not all 3 parts you need are available any more... Unless you can find someone junking a similar set with a bad chassis, you may have difficulty fixing your's.

Good luck in your search.

Panasonic 47 inch Projection tv PT-53WX42F

Sounds like your convergence chips are going. Unless you are real handy with soldering iron I would suggest having a tv repair shop service it(probably cost $200-300). If you are handy then I believe the chips you need are Sanyo STK392-110. There should be 2 of them. be careful if you order them online, there are lots of chinese knock-offs out there.
