Hi,

I have a problem with a Sony KVC2983E.
When I start the set it takes 5 minutes or more before the picture
appears, normally this takes 30sec or so. All tips welcome

Greetings,

Do you get a Rasteron the screen , or blank screen? if it is a Blank
Screen then you have a weak pix tube, and the delay is caused by the IK
curcuit, which delays on screen , until all three guns are almost of
equal output. sometimes you can just crank up the G2 Control just a tad
and speed up the turn on. but you will soon need a pix tube. or replace
the set which is mor cost effective

Thanks for your reply.

The sound is OK and i can see the OSD in the right upper corner but it
seems to be suppressed, if there is not much light in the room the green
OSD is clearly visible. For the rest the screen is blank till it comes up
after ca. 5 minutes.
