Porsche Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 I just got a brand new Sony 32" Wega. When I'm watching a movie, and I'm using component video, I see a white line or something like it on the extreme left-hand side of the screen. It pretty much goes all the way down the TV. Now, it only shows up when the background is all black, but only on certain 'signals' I assume. When I switch from Video 1 thru to 4, I do see a white line also, but it's not at the extreme left-hand side, it's out about 1 inch. When watching plain old coaxial cable TV, I don't notice it really - probably because the screen doesn't go black that much. I can call in Sony for nothing, I'm just wondering what some of your thoughts are fellow Klipschians. Cheers, Porsche959 (P.S. I drive a Jeep, I just like Porsche!) ------------------ Onkyo TX-DS575X( Receiver Sony DVPS 560D DVD Player Klipsch RF-3 Klipsch RS-3 Klipsch RC-3 Klipsch KSW-12 Subwoofer Sony 32" WEGA TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wife-said-no Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 What do you have your TV next to? Is there any magnetic sources? My Panasonic has a geosomething or nother adjustment to correct for magnetic fields. Make sure that there isn't one by your TV. Then call Sony.

DrPyro Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Porsche- I have no clue, but there is a host of good info on Sonys @ Home Theater Spot . They have dedicated groups for most popular brands. You can do a search there....Hope this helps. -Dave ------------------ Receiver: Denon AVR-3801 DVD: Denon DVD-1000 Front: RF-3's Rear: RS-3's Center: RC-3 SubW: SVS Ultra + Samson 1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Did you buy it from a store with a defective exchange policy? I would want to see another machine of the same model, to see if it is persistent in the model, or if it is just your machine. Many retail outlets will swap it out if it is defective - it is a prerequisite with anything that I purchase new. I would be curious if this problem shows up when playing a videotape. When you were switching from video inputs 1 through 4, were you playing the DVD through the Sony Wega as well? (I'm assuming the source being played through the component video was a DVD machine.) If you can play a black area of a videotape (maybe the end credits or something) through the video 1-4 on the TV and see if you still have the line, I'd say it is the TV. If this problem cannot be shown to exist with the VCR as described above, then another option would be to hook up your DVD to another TV of the exact same model. It may be more worthwhile to take the DVD to another Sony of the same model, rather than switching out the TV's in your home, to determine if your TV is indeed defective. If you bought it mail order, this could be a problem, unless you find a dealer in your area that has the same Sony Wega on the floor. The point is to see if the TV shows this problem with multiple sources, something other than your DVD. It could also be that the TV and DVD just don't agree for some reason, but that is not likely. ------------------ First we Rock, then we Roll!
