20 Most Recent Mitsubishi VS-80803 TV Questions & Answers

Has the timing control board been changed?...or is it part of the panel on your set?

Get a good quality 28G cable, and check what length you need to reach. eBay has many listings, and any consumer electronics store will have them. Be wary of overpriced cables though. EBay is a good yardstick.

Are you asking if you need a converter box to receive your over the air broadcast digital/hd channels? If so the answer is yes. If you have a yellow, red, white composite input it can go there or it can be connected to the rf input.

What exactly is the problem with the tv?

Projection sets have two very common problems.

The first common problem is convergence

These sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the picture to look normal. This is called convergence.

When its out of alignment the video will look 3-D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired. Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony, Samsung,JVC,Philip Magnavox,Panasonic,Akai,Pioneer, Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped or bowed
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2 - Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

TV's do not have oil, but something very close. It is probably one of the CRT's leaking coolant. You need to find out which one or replace all three.

Hi Brien,

You can hook-up your HDTV via the BNC inputs with the right equipment below.
Here is the link to a website that sells video transcoders for projectors and projection televisions. In addition, the link will take you to one particular transcoder that will work for your application.
http://www.curtpalme.com/RTC2200.shtm If you use this transcoder you will have to find a VGA to 5-BNC breakout cable to connect the output of the transcoder to your TV HDTV RGBHV inputs. The extra VGA input on this transcoder will not be used for your application. They sell another product that comes with the cable you need, but I did not see it listed separately. That product is their HDFury Basic Kit at the link below.

The lamp is not enabled possibly due to the colour wheel motor not turning. Any broken glass jamming it? Or the lamp ballast has failed due to an old/worn lamp.

Most likely you need to replace the projection bulb. You can find them online. DLP sets are famous - or infamous - for burning out the bulbs/lamps.

Your Mitsubishi VCR HS-U580 looks to have a problem with the information rollers and drum. Here are some things to check: Look for something blocking the VCR or cassette compartment that would possibly be stopping the guide rollers. Check the belt that drives the VCR mechanism. If it is loose or broken, you may also need to substitute it. Clean the video heads using a head-cleaning cassette to make certain they're not dirty. See if the drum motor is working. If it is not spinning, there may be an issue with the motor. If the trouble persists, it's an exact idea to get assistance from a professional technician or contact Mitsubishi's purchaser support for advice. Be cautious when dealing with electronic devices, and if you are not certain what to do, it's great to get assistance from an expert.

i think finding a downloadable service manual for your Mitsubishi HS-U580 VCR might take some searching, but here are a few options: Check the official Mitsubishi website's support section. They might offer downloadable manuals for older models.Many online appliance parts stores like RepairClinic or AppliancePartsPros stock service manuals for various brands and models. Search for your specific VCR model to see if they have it available.Websites like ManualsLib or iFixit sometimes host user-uploaded service manuals. While the availability and quality can vary, it's worth checking. If online options fail, consider purchasing a physical copy of the service manual from online marketplaces like eBay or Amazon. Remember, some websites might charge a fee for downloading manuals. Always be cautious of suspicious websites and download from reputable sources.

You can purchase a replacement power cord for your Mitsubishi model #LT-55164 from TVserviceParts.com. The part number for the power cord is 246C638010 and it costs $18.40.

Hoping you did not have electric overload that damaged the power supply, try unplugging the set and push the button On until no lights indicate anything. Then wait about an hour so the capacitors would empty themselves further. Next plug it back in and see if this worked. It is never wrong to push the edges a little in finding if the cables that go around the screen have a problem at that point. When one opens the TV (off power and unplugged) these flat cables should be checked for corrosion and right position in connectors. Corrosion is caused by little moist only, combined with the electricity. Then see if capacitors from the power supply, or any at all, have expanded tops. Those are the larger and smaller towers with metal on top that is divided in three parts. New ones alike can then be ordered but replacing requires basic skills. Further examples can be found on YouTube. Capacitors are common to fail early. Those larger ones have dangerous high voltage and can hold their charge for long span of time. it is not uncommon for devices like this to fail after being off.
