jkjome85 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I have a TOSHIBA 42H81 42" Widescreen HD Rear Projection TV that is just over one year old, and I am having major problems getting my TV to converge. It has an auto convergence button, but it doesnt do a very good job. When I do the manual convergence, which has 10 points to converge, I get the middle ok, but the outside foot perimeter of the screen, especially the first 3 inches of perimeter is bad. When there is a white object or line on the screen, I see red or blue lines to the side of it. When manual converging the TV, the blue and red lines are almost totally hidden behind the White thingy, so why do they appear when using the darn thing. I do wait a half hour to see if it gets better, AND till I do any converging adjustments. Is this a common thing for RPTV's? I have my RF-3II tower and SB-1 main speakers about one and a half feet away from the sides of the TV, but I dont have any room to move them farther, and my RC-3II center is atop the TV. Dont think they are too close though. I purchased an extended 4-year warrenty with the TV, so do you think that would cover me having a technician come in and professionally converge it for me?

T2K Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 May be the convergence chips. Call for a service tech and get what you paid for. And, good luck. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkjome85 Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Ok, well do those "BAD" convergence chips apply to both the auto convergence button and manual converging the set? Or just the auto convergence? Do you think that I should contact TOSHIBA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygmn Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Find an ISF certified tech and have them look at it and calibrate the TV......they can do amazing things..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 be sure the back of the tv isn't making contact w/anything. move your speakers. if the problem persists,use your extended warranty and get it serviced. avman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
