Sony KV-35S26 TV Diagonal Lines
Hello all, I just got channels added to my Comcast basic package. Now
when I view channels above 55 I have a lot of diagonal noise on my Sony KV-35S26 TV. I just had the power supply replaced recently (circuit board) so I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem. When I watch these channels through my VCR via the RF cable I don't have any problem. I tried the same cable that is going to the VCR and that didn't fix it so I know it's not the cable. I should also mention I'm not using a cable box the cable goes straight to the TV off of a splitter. None of the other sets hooked to the splitter are getting this just my Sony. I hope I'm not confusing anyone I'm not the best writer Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA Kirk |

It is possible that the tuner in the Sony set is defective, or for some
reason it is picking up some radiated interference due to a combination of things. If you run the Sony set directly on the cable without the splitter, does it get the interference? If it does, try another splitter. The frequencies used are very critical, and there are many factors that can cause problems. I have seen some of these fixed, by just changing the length or the type of cable used to feed a set. If you are on a cable service (I am not familiar with Comcast), ask if a service tech can come with a spectrum analyser to check the cable feed. If there is any problem, he most likely will see it. If all you try does not work, then the next step is to have a TV service tech check the set for you, to determine where the defect is. These types of problems are usually in the IF, or tuner section. Why not run the set with an external decoder device that can feed it baseband video? This would be the best way to watch the set. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "kirk" wrote in message ...
