Hi Rono,

Maybe the problem is magnetism. Try to find out if any magnetic source
is near the TV that previously not. If you cannot find the magnetic
source, maybe the TV has been magnetized and in that case you require
special equipment to demagnetize (Some people use to tinker with a
permanent magnet moving in the screen, but i don't recommend if you are
not experienced with this procedure).

Other source maybe the demagnetizing circuit, in which case, you have to
go to the service anyway.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

I have a JVC AV48WP30 HDTV. It has run flawlessly for the last 1.5 years.
Today my wife and 1 year old were near it for an extended period of time
(she was working / he was playing). When I sat down to watch TV tonight,
everything was all reddish.

Normally, when I switch between inputs (reg. TV, DVD, Digital Cable) the
background shows up as Grey in color. Now it is Red with Red curved lines
all over. While trying to watch several shows, I could see the reddish
curved lines (very lightly) during the darker (ie night-time) scenes.

I switched everything to B&W image and can still see the red lines.

Any ideas? Playing with the Tint helped a little, but not much and the
background still appears reddish.

My wife swears that our son didn't touch the TV - only the remote.

Hopefully I can fix this with a little guidance from you all and not have

to

pay an arm and a leg I can't afford.

Thanks Much!

Garrett
