Sony KV-36XBR450 36" TV Logo
Anonymous Posted on Sep 27, 2013

I have a problem that appears to be related only to my coaxial cable input. I periodically get static, white lines across the screen or a "no signal" error message. Pixilation does not occur. Initially it occurred after the TV had been on for a few hours, but now it occurs nearly all of the time. This effects both visual/audio. The same problem occurs when attempting to use my VCR, which also enters the TV via the same coaxial cable input. 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. Possibly indicative of the cause of the problem, 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 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. Someone else posted a similar problem with his Sony TV and someone suggested a possible problem with a printed circuit pcb. Any suggestions on what may be causing this and whether it is a simple repair? Also of importance, the TV is too large and too heavy to put in my car to take it to a repair shop.

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.

My cable box is hooked up but no signal can u tell me whats wrong

If you hookup your TV directly to the coaxial cable, bypassing the cable-box, do you get a few channels? If so, then the coaxial cable is carrying a signal, which is good.

How are you hooking the output from the cable-box to the input(s) on the TV? Coaxial output port on box to coaxial input port on TV?
Red/blue/green "component" outputs on box to matching inputs on TV? Red/White audio outputs on box to red/white inputs on TV? HMDI output from box to HDMI input on TV?

You have to "tell" the TV which of the inputs:
* coaxial (with TV set to Channel 3 or 4)
* component
* HDMI
to "listen" to.

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.

Cable input

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.

Sounds is lower than it should be, possible short.

Having read the problem report two or three times, it appears that you're running ~three~ cables from your cable receiver to the home theater system - orange, and red&white.
Often, when you can hear a low-level signal on an input, it's due to 'leakage' from another input, and it's my hunch that the cable receiver is sending audio through the red and white (analogue) connections, which you've plugged to the main sat/cable receiver inputs.
To confirm this, I'd be interested to know if, when you unplug the red and white connectors from the back of the Onkyo, the quiet signal completely disappears.
If that's the case, I would suggest either going into the cable receiver's cofiguration to see if 'digital audio out' is set (if such is possible) or switching the input to 'cable/satellite'...
Hope this brings you closer to the root of the problem!

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.
