This same problem was on my grandma's television once she got a cable box recently. she has time warner cable. we called time warner and explained this to them, and they said it was something with the update.. and the lady said you can reset the box, but it is best for the cable company to reboot the cable box. within a matter of minutes, the company reset her box and the numbers were no longer an issue. so it's just a matter of resetting your cable.

It is the model number of your remote. Hold down the 'LAST' button for 5-6 seconds to see it or hide it.

    To reboot the cable set-top box.

    There are two ways to reboot a cable set-top box. The most preferred way is option 1.



    1. You can reboot a cable set-top box by disconnecting and reconnecting the power to the cable set-top box.




        Turn off your cable set-top box (using either the remote or the button on the front of the box).

        Carefully unplug the power cord from either the wall or the back of
        the cable set-top box. If it is plugged into a power strip, turn off
        the power strip at the switch on the top of the strip. Wait 30 seconds.

        Restore the power. Either plug your cable set-top box back in or
        turn the power strip back on, but do not turn your cable set-top box
        back on.

        Wait 2 to 4 minutes until the green LED digital clock reappears on the front of the cable set-top box with the correct time.

        Once the correct time has appeared, press and release the power
        button on the converter or by using the remote to turn it back on.
    2. You can reboot a cable setup box from the front panel of the cable set-top box.



        To Reset box manually via the cable box press and hold the Vol+, Vol-, and Info buttons on the front of the converter. This will automatically reboot the box.

        Once the correct time has appeared, press and release the power
        button on the converter or by using the remote to turn it back on.

SOURCE: Hitachi Projection TV 57F500A red looks double.

You need to replace both of the convergence IC's and any bad resistors around them that protect them from damaging the power supply.

This repair can usually be done in the home and takes about an hour; I have done hundreds of them and now is a slow time of year for TV shops; look around if you are not able to do this repair; you can buy the chips on Ebay for less than 15 dollars for a pair plus shipping.

This is a very common problem in projection sets.

SOURCE: Left side of sreen is blurry/halo effect. Right

SET uses two of the STK-392-150 convergence chips for this, both need to be replaced and set adjusted.

Parts cost on EBAY will be under 25 dollars. I can help if you are do it yourself person. A shop will get 250-300 for this but you can do it for much less.

Can I assist you?

My Hitachi 57F500A Projection TV has developed what seems to me double exposure and it different colors than the normal headers,i.e., ESPN. I have tried to just use the DVD player to see if that would cure...

Just to clarify, it sounds like what you are saying is that the image appears to duplicate in either red or blue along the edges of the image (especially white lettering and probably increasing along the boarder of the TV). This is resolved by converging your TV. Convergence will drift normally on large screen projection TV's over time or through moving them. The Hitachi 57f500a has a feature called "Magic Focus" (pg 36 in your manual) which will auto converge the image. If the auto converge feature doesn't work, on page 37 in your manual, it explains how to converge manually. If you do not have the manual, I have the image of the pages below. If for some reason this doesn't work, please provide additional info and detailed prior to rating the help.
