We moved it in one piece.

I don't know if all codes are the same. Comcast Cable gave me a list of codes for their universal remote for their motorola cable boxes. For Sony tvs it says either 0000 or 0111. I still use all 7 of my remotes. Universals are basically only good for power and volume. I need the other remotes handy to enjoy the other functions of my system! Anyway, hope this works 4-u and that you get better use out of it than me.

Hit the set up button on the TV.
You'll see options to change the language. The last option is to put the TV in "Demo Mode."
Put the TV in Demo mode, when the first screen appears, "Welcome to...." the PIP will disappear.
Hit exit before the screen moves to the "Menu." If you miss it, watch the demo once--it will restart--and hit the exit button the next time you see the "Welcome to" message.

I just did this and it worked for me - i hope it works for you.

Please post both the exact model number (on the back) and the blink count. The standby light should be blinking a repeated pattern. That info will indicate the problem circuit and allow us to provide you with the proper parts/steps to resolve this.

Thanks,
Dan

This is a convergence problem. Look in the back for a couple of large black ICs attached to a heatsnik. These should be marked STKxxx. These are the convergence ICs and either have bad connections or are defective. If you can solder, try resoldering the pins on these ICs. If that fails to resolve the problem, replace the ICs. There may be other parts that need to be replaced as well. I'll look up your model to find the other parts to check. The convergence board as an assembly, I believe, is no longer available. The parts that you require are available.

This is usually a convergence problem.. Could you update this with the model number please. That will allow me to give you some specifics about what could be wrong and how to fix it.

just need to balance the three colors red,green and blue that may help remove the front covers and look for black module that have sccree and focus controls just move a little bet left or right be carefull because you can loos the picture e-mail me for more info

Might be a bad High Voltage Distribution block, you will want to call a trained tech to diagnose something a little knowledge can be dangerous with stuff like this.

I pressed "Demo" on the front of my TV and it worked, I have an old Sony KP-53XBR35 VIDEOSCOPE XBR - no original remote and the Universal remote has PIP button but would not shut it off.
Finally it's off!!!!
