MAKE SURE NO SPEAKERS WITH BIG MAGNETS ARE ABOVE OR NEAR THE TOP OF THE SET--magnets can cause "purity" problems.

The set has a built in coil to correct this every time you turn the set on.

IF THE SET IN THE MOVE FELL FORWARD, IT MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE SHADOW MASK INSIDE THE TUBE.....

TWO REASONS FOR YOUR PROBLEM: COIL IN SET NOT WORKING FOR SOME REASON---ROTATE SET LEFT AND OR RIGHT AND SEE IF PURITY CHANGES OR BECOMES GOOD.

IF SO A MANUAL COIL CAN BE USED (CALLED A DEGAUSSING COIL) TO CORRECT IT--TAKES 5 SECONDS.


SECOND: SHADOW MASK IN TUBE (SCREEN) IS DISLODGED BY MOVE----THESE ARE VERY HEAVY SETS AND THE MASK IS EASY TO DAMAGE.

The mask is inside the tube and perforated with hundreds of tiny openings that line up with the phospher coating (stripes if you look close at set with it on) if mask got dislodged in move--damage is permanent.

If changing north,south, east or west position of front of set corrects it mask is good.

Unlike others who have bid I am answering this for free, if I told you something you did not know rate this free solution as very helpful.

Split screen

Yes I get the same problem with my Sony XBR and its Pace PVR.
The problem seems related to using HDMI interconnects; viewing the PVR through component leads allows the TV to switch modes easily, otherwise I have to turn the tv off and then back on again.

Sony KV-32FV27 Picture Discoloration

It appears that the greenish discolored area could be cause by the Yoke or it could also be some magnetization on the screen as well.
If it's the yoke that moved slightly out of position, it can be adjusted, but i would suggest to let a repair tech do it due a high voltage around the area.
Try unplugging the TV for some time and plug it back in and hopefully the demagnetizer circuitry might be able to clear the greenish spot.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

on the tv remote: press menu, external entry is highlight (yellow) right press on the outer circle then scroll down to video 4 (satellite entry) (it could be on video 3 depending of the satellite assignment entry) when video 4 is highlight (yellow) right press on the outer circle on the screen you will see 1080i if settle on an HD channel hope it will fix your Sony Bravia..
