My Sony PVM-14M4U has recently started tearing horizontally most noticeably
along the edges of the raster. When I put it in the underscan mode, the image
displays with severe pincushioning. I'm also seeing the retrace lines at the
top of the raster in all 3 colors. The monitor is 10 years old and has been
rock solid until now. Is it just in need of adjustment? Could this have
resulted from the placement of near field audio monitors too close to the
Sony? They speakers have been there a year and I have never seen any magnetic
type of distortion on the pictures, so I have assumed the Roland DM-10s are
shielded well enough to not do any harm. Thanks for any insight you may have.

I have repaired a number of these units...great unit! You will need
one, or two small electrolytic capacitors in the vertical
circuit, buy the IC, also, look for a square, or round capacitor, or
diode, in the pincushion circuit. Don't "tweak" the EEPROM, until you
do the "electronics" repair. It shouldn't need tweaking anyway! Dani.

Thanks for the detailed info. I'll pass it on to the repair shop.

Ditto on the caps ..... Been there, done it.......

anyone have a source for a service manual for a pvm-14m4u Sony monitor?
