Sometimes the screen on my Sony LCD rear projection TV will flicker. It won’t go off or anything and it’s mostly around the edges but it’s pretty annoying. We called Sony and I don’t think they knew what they were talking about. They said something about leaving the TV on the same channel for a few hours and that should take care of it. That doesn’t do anything at all. It seems to be happening more and more now. We are thinking it could mean that we need to change the bulb. Is that a possibility? Thanks!

the “lamp” light doesn’t flash, just power light
nothing in manuel
When turned on, the fan spins, then it clicks, then it turns off (screen always stays black, then power light flashes red twice on 5 second intervals.

Sony KDF-60WF655 I knew when I bought this TV that I would have to someday have to change the user-replaceable bulb. I thought it would just go out and the “lamp” light would be red. That’s not what’s happening though. It’s just slowly over time getting darker. I’ve got the brightness maxed out and it’s OK, but it’s not the bright vibrant picture it used to be. Is it a bulb or something needing service?

I’m thinking of buying a Sony 3LCD projection TV with a Bravia Engine. The model is KF42E200A. I’m just worried about two thing…
1. Will green blobs or other blobs pop up on the screen, which then have to be fixed expensively.
2. With optimum contrast settings, how long can I expect my lamp to last? How much will it cost? It appears that Sony does not advertise lamp costs to an unsuspecting customer even when that customer enquires. They give approximate costs only.
But I like this Tv a lot and want to buy it. Price/Size/Picture Quality factor is v.good.

I have a Sony Bravia KDF-50E3000 LCD projection TV and I just got the on-screen warning saying the lamp was dying and that I should replace it soon. I called all of the local Sony dealers and none of them have the lamp in-stock.
My question is, how long do I have before the lamp gives up? My screen hasn’t gotten any darker yet, a couple of hours after the warning. The reason I ask is because I want to be able to watch my TV for Monday Night Football. Huge game between the Pats and the Saints 
I won’t be able to have one shipped in time for this game, so I want to know if I should just buy a new TV or if this lamp is going to last until then. Missing this game is NOT AN OPTION, nor is going to a sports bar.

Does anyone know how to get into the service menu for the Sony Wide Screen Projection TV model # KP-51WS500? I want to get in there so that I can perform manual convergence. The stupid Flash convergence is useless. I know that there is some particular key sequence on the remote control that will get you in but I don’t remember what it is.

There is a light that comes on and under that light it says LAMP. What does this mean and how the HECK do I fix this problem? I was told it is something with the bulbs. If thats the case is this something I can fix on my own and is it expensive?

Just replaced the lamp 3 weeks ago. Now there is blue in the corner that is starting to get bigger. Bought it in 05 but it sat from September 08 until we got the money for the new lamp 3 weeks ago.

Which is best for the money? I’ve narrowed it down to the KDL-52XBR4, KDL-52W3000, and KDS-60A3000. The KDL-52XBR4 and KDL-52W3000 seem almost identical. Are the minor differences worth the extra $500? Also, the KDS-60A3000 is the biggest and cheapest out of these. But is it really true that for rear projection tv’s the bulb needs to be replaced every couple of years?

I have a sony 50 inch rear projection XBR tv model KDS-R50XBR1. The picture looks great but whenever i watch the tv for a long time then turn it off, i cant turn it back on. I always have to put a small fan on the side of the tv to help it cool down…it takes around 15 minutes to cool it down, then once its been cooled wnough then i can turn it back on. I put the fan on the side that the projection lamp sits. I’ve had the tv for 3-4 years. Ive already had the original fan replaced with a new one so Im wondering if theres some sort of thermal fuse or could it be the lamp??? please help.

Hello,
I’m very happy with my KDF-60WF655 which I bought newly refurbished from a Sony repair shop for $400 (all new Sony guts!). I typically frown on rear-projection, yet I’m able to see the picture great from almost any angle in my living room and the picture size is huge!
My only disappointment came when I learned that I cannot get 1080p on this set. Is this correct? I was really looking forward to getting a Blu-Ray player. Am I wasting my time with Blu-Ray if my TV can’t do 1080p?
Thank you.

Okay, I would really love some input from the experts on this one. I have the Sony KDS-R50XBR1 Rear Projection, I believe it was the very first SXRD that Sony made. To my knowledge, the models that followed were not XBR though, which I figured gave my model a little extra edge picture quality wise. Now that its been a few years I was considereing upgrading to the new KDS-55A3000 Model. I’m sure its not going to be a huge difference but I would still like to know what someone with experience with both models thinks. My TV has been ISF calibrated and has a great picture, I was just wondering how much I would gain by going for the newer model. I also remember that my tv was sold as a 1080p set but it actually cannot receive a 1080p signal, however it can display a 1080p signal. I was a little confused by that. But I realize i’d be getting the full 1080p with the newer set, but it may not really be worth if the picture quality isnt much different. Just kinda wanted some feedback.

This was suggested as a repair for the TVs color problems. Looks like 3d without the glasses on.

Regards, MY
I actually used the website called Tweak.com that gives you fairly good settings adjustments. What about the HD DVR box I have? doe that need to be adjusted as well>>???
