Sony FD Trinitron WEGA KV-32FS120 32" TV Logo

Cable input I have a problem that appears to be related only to my coaxial cable input. I get static, lines across the screen or a "no signal" error message. This effects both visual/audio. The same problem occurs with my VCR, which also enters the TV via the coaxial cable jack. I've tried bypassing the VCR completely, and changing the cable, but the issue still occurs. It is not the tube itself, as I still have a perfect picture when viewing DVDs via the component video inputs. Also very unique, and perhaps indicative of the cause of the issue, when I use PIP, the issue only occurs with the primary picture. The secondary PIP (picture in picture) is perfect, and the problem does not occur. I do not have other devices, such as play stations, etc. in the house, so that is clearly not the cause of the issue. I suspect that the issue is occuring after the coaxial cable signal enters the TV, since the problem effects the primary picture, but does not effect the secondary PIP. I've been forced to watch TV using the PIP until I can determine what the problem is and what it will take to fix it. The TV is too big and too heavy to take to a repair shop, and wouldn't fit in my vehicle even if I could get it to my driveway. Any suggestions on what may be causing this and whether it is a simple repair?

Hi
I think the problem is in the tuner, a small metal box near the antenna input and can be removed and serviced. But first you should check the DC supply line to the tuner. The circuit has a big limiting resistor (15K/3W) and a 33V zener diode and a small filter electrolitic capacitor). The zener is prone to be leaky and unstable.

Televison station won't scan

If you are receiving a "No Signal" error message, verify that:
  1. All of the cables physically connected to the TV and the input device are secure.
  2. The input device is turned on.
Your TV needs to scan for channels before it can show programming from an antenna, from cable TV when the cable comes directly from the wall (no cable box), or from a cable or satellite box connected to the TV with a coaxial (RF) cable. Do not scan for channels if you have a cable or satellite box connected using AV (Composite), Component, or HDMI cables. The box selects the channel, not the tuner inside your television. If you are not using the "TV" input, press the INPUT button on your remote until the correct input mode is selected.
To perform a channel scan using the coaxial input:
  1. Press the INPUT button on your remote to view your current input source. The TV (coaxial cable) input must be selected. This may appear as "TV," "ANT," or the channel and call letters of a station.
  2. If the TV input is not selected, press INPUT until the TV input mode is selected.
  3. Open the on-screen menu and select TV or Tuner option. (This varies by model.)
  4. Highlight Tuner Mode and select the correct option:
    • Antenna-over-the air signals from an antenna
    • Cable-direct from the wall cable TV, or a cable or satellite box connected to the TV with coaxial cable
  5. Select Auto Search or Auto Channel Scan. (This varies by model.)
  6. When the search reaches 100% complete, exit to the menu.
  7. Check the available channels:
    • Antenna or direct-from-wall cable-Press the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons on your VIZIO TV remote to view the available channels.
    • Cable or satellite box- Will return only one channel. Use the cable or satellite remote's Channel Up and Channel Down buttons.
If this does not resolve the issue, power cycle the TV and then re-run the channel scan:
  1. Turn off the TV.
  2. Unplug the TV from the electrical outlet.
  3. While the TV is unplugged from the wall, press and hold the Power button on the TV for 30 seconds.
  4. Release the power button.
  5. Plug the TV back into the electrical outlet.
  6. Turn on the TV.
Note: There is also an option to reset the TV to the factory default settings. This option is in either the SETUP or SYSTEM section of the on-screen menu. The option may be "Reset all settings", "System Reset," or "Reset & Admin." Consult your TV's user manual for the location and steps for resetting your model.
  1. Remove the coaxial cable from the DTV/TV connector on the back of your television and perform a channel scan to clear the existing channels. See the procedure above. This should not find any channels.
  2. Re-attach the coaxial cable to the DTV/TV connector and perform a new channel scan.

Hi

I think your problem is in the tuner, a metal box located near the antenna input. This tuner can be removed and serviced. Sometimes the tuner DC supply line is unstable due to a filter capacitor or zener diode generally rated 33V (most common) and should be the first step in troubleshooting process.

Static & Picture Loss via Coaxial Cable Input Only on Sony FD Trinitron WEGA XV-36XBR450

Hi
The problem may be in the tuner or associated circuit. Firt check the DC supply line to the tuner. This circuit has a limiting resistor (15K 3W) and a 33V zener diode. If these are OK the tuner is faulty and should be removed (sometimes it comes on a separated board attached to the main board) and serviced.

I did a reset on my Sony WEGA TV but now it's not connect with the cable box. Just says no signal. Screen is all snow and no sound other than static.

you need to reprogram channels. Itll only pick up 3 if you are still using coaxial cable from box, or change input to DVI/HDMI, aux, etc.

Horizontal multicolored lines appearing

Open up the TV and unplug and re-plug the connectors to the circuit boards. This is most often caused by a poor connection of the circuit board connectors.

Top section of the picture gets reversed and compressed

Dear simon, Seems like a simple problem. In all likelihood, one of the Electrolytic Capacitors in the vertical Output stages has failed.It could also be a cold / dry solder, as symptoms seem to disappear when you tap the set. But, do not try anything thing at home. A proffessional Techie should fix it up in 15-20 mins. Definitely worth the spend.
