Composite would be a connection with RCA cables.. example: a dvd player with
yellow video and red and white audio wires, not through the antenna port
anything you use on AV1 or AV2.

Sounds to me like possible screen mask damage and circuit board damage. I'd
fix the board before making any decisions about the CRT tube.

What color is the volume bar? What color is the volume bar supposed to
be?
Volume bar is green as it is supposed to be. The mute sign etc. are
also displayed in green.

Is the color of the volume bar and the channel numbers consistant? (not
changing shades of red or green)
The channel numbers were half green & red initially & now it is fully
red.

Try using a composite input and see what happens on AV1 and AV2.
Donno what you mean by this. I tried playing a DVD, there is no picture
on the screen but audio is fine.
