Left a pair of PVS7B/D's on with the pinhole lens cap in place for about 16 hours by mistake, now I see a "ghosted" permanent image superimposed over my real time image. What does this indicate?

It's called time exposure or flash over. What happen is the infiltrating light through the pen hole and a long duration will burn shadows into the micro channel plate in the generation 3 image intensifier tube.

These expensive image tubes can be repaired. Contact Itt inc or Vard Inc in Garland, TX. That about it unless you want to buy a new gen 3 image tube. Maybe $1500+. I would call around to other Night Vision Optica companies and see if the have a used gen 3 image tube. There quit a few companies in the USA that work on NV devise. Also, contact ITT and ask them they repair image tubes, maybe! stewbison

I pressed pause on my dvr. It was during a "unisom" commercial. When I pressed play (not even 5 minutes later) I can still see the word "unisom" even though the show is playing....

That is called ghosting - a defect in the screen panel of the tv. It's caused by a malfunction of the pixels, it will fade out in time. But beware - if the still image is left in place for longer it might be literally burned in the screen with no way of taking it out.

How do I change it from wide screen to regular? I have a black area above and below the picture.

Hello
You can set the picture size by remote control itself.

You can vide 480i format programmes in three picture sizes. 4:3, 16:9, and ZOOM
You can change the picture size by pressing the PICTURE SIZE button on the remote control.
4:3 Picutre size
To fill the screen, the top and bottom edges are extedted more widely, although the center of the picture remains near the former ratio.
If receiving a 4:3 programme, the image size is displayed in its originally formatted proportion.
16:9 picure size
This image displays the size of standard 16:9 with black bars at the top and bottom.
If receiving a 4:3 programme, the image is displayed with black bars at the top and bottom and stretched wider.

NOTE: If a fixed bar remains on the screen for a long period of time, the image can become parmanantly engrained in the screen and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. Never leave your TV for long periods of time while it is displaying these images.

Zoom picture size [for 16:9 formats]
The entire picture is uniformly enlarged --it is stretched the same amount both wider and taller (retains its original proportion). The right and left edges of the picture may be hidden.
OK.

Dell E177FPB monitor has ghost images "bleeding"

I had dual monitor with color bleed to the right. The solution was
1) identify optimal resolution for both monitors ( Dell 198wfp @ 1400 x 900) and (Laptop @ 1200 x 800) 2) check colour setting (32 bit or 16 bit) 3) reduce colour setting down to 16 bit) 4) Check performance 5) reduce screen resolution 6) check 7) cycle between screen color and screen resolution 8) if no luck, check updating the drivers for graphic card 9) if no luck, check updating monitor drivers 10) if no luck, check altering memory set aside for graphics (onboard memory for example or off-graphics-chip-on-RAM-memory) 11) Monitor checking software is very helpful : try "http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?id=22" for the Nokia Monitor Test (a CRT tester) or any other freeware/shareware testing program such as passmark's products etc.,
You might just have to suffer with a large workspace and mungy grapics performance though ... I am.

Canon DR-9080c Ghosting Problem

Though I've never seen this on any scanner, I can imagine it being a reading glass out of place. This could cause a weaker reflected image overlaying the direct one. Look at the top & bottom glass strips in the transport area. They should look level & unbroken.

Lens Cap warning

Your CCD (the main image component) is dead. Ihad a similar problem with a Samsung. If your JVC is in warranty, take it back and have it repaired. If your JVC is out of warranty, dum it and buy something else since the repair will cost as much as buying a new one.
