Mitsubishi CS-2656R No Color
Turned this TV on today to find no color on any channels. I swapped the
cable box (digital, Scientific Atlanta Model ?) with one from my son's room and still no color on this tv (his works fine with either cable box). I tried using the regular 75 ohm cable input, the external video RCA-connector input, and the S-Video input all with the same no-color result. Interestingly, the on screen programming functions still appear in their normal colors, mostly yellow with occasional other colors. The "Tint" setting bar, for example, appears half red/half green. Would appreciate some thoughts... |

Would appreciate some thoughts... There are several common part failures in the chroma circuit of that model, that cause lost of color. Bad caps, resistors changing value, ect. You will need to get it looked at by a service tech. It is normal for the on-screen displays to still have color, when there is a fault in the chroma circuitry |

Mitsubishi CS-2656R No Color
Well, we went out last night and bought a Toshiba 27" 'nearly-flat'
screen model 27A43 for just $259 at Best Buy. I figure it'll cost at least $100 to fix the Mitsubishi and it's already some 13 or so years old, so... "bigmike" wrote in message om...
