I had whole redish/pinkish screen on my 50v500 starting a few days ago, then I read through each of the threads on this site for the samilar problems on my model. I found TVtechmaniac's solution (pasted below) solved my problem. Thank you TVtechmaniac!
Enter the I2C Service Menu, be sure the power is OFF. 1. On the front control panel, press and hold the INPUT button. 2. Then press the POWER button for two seconds. 3. You may keep the INPUT button depressed until you see the OSD with the Service Menu displayed. 4. If you don't see the service menu, please repeat Process making sure you wait until the Power blinking LED stops. 5. Execute the Memory Initialize operation after the adjustment values have been written on a sheet of paper. Highlight “MEMORY INTI”, arrow to the right and hold the button to the right (approx 5 sec.) until a check mark appears in the box. This activates the Memory Initialization.
6. After the Memory initialize operation has finished (10~15 sec, the channel will revert to CH 3.) the pink image symptom should be fixed.7. Write back the adjustment values from your notes to their respective adjustment parameters in the adjustment mode. (In other words, set the Data Values back to the the Data values written down before the Memory Initialization procedure). NOTE: Make sure the SELECT Button is pressed on remote after every change to the values. Failure to do so will result in the data values not being changed.8. Exit I2C menu. Press exit repeatedly until you go back to the normal picture. 9. Turn the set off-on and Confirm the picture remains in a good condition.
BE SURE TO COPY DOWN DATA SETTINGS BEFORE INITIALIZING I2C SETTINGS
Red screen
The red cloud from the center of the screen is caused by a bad light engine. Original light engines for this model had insufficient ventillation. Replacements will last much longer.

There is no convergence adjustment in an LCD rear projection unit. However you can try a LCD adjust to eliminate the ghosting image. I am uploading the service manual as it has pin to pin details regarding adjustments. Meanwhile I will give you the instructions.
To enter the service mode, power off the unit and wait for two minutes. On the FRONT PANEL of the set press and hold the INPUT and POWER buttons for two seconds. Select Adjust mode and then choose LCD adjust and adjust as necessary(page 57 of the service manual).
I have replaced the bulb
Replacing the lamp has dislodged some dust.
Clean the optics with an air duster and a gentle vacuum from a vacuum cleaner. If you don't get it all out, you may have a recurring problem.
Hope that helps.

You have a defective light engine and Hitachi is aware of it. Here's what you need to do...we just went throught this about a month ago. Call Hitachi's customer relations department (not regular customer service0 at 800-654-7013 and tell them what the TV is doing and that you believe you have a bad light engine. Now at first, they will act as if they know nothing about this problem. They will however give you some names of certified dealers in your area to come out and diagnois the problem. Once the tech comes out and tells you that you have a bad light engine, only takes about a minute once they see the problem, call Hitachi back at the number I've listed and tell them what the tech said. Hitachi will call the dealer directly and they will send the part directly to the dealer. Once the dealer gets the part (new light engine) the dealer will give you a call and will come out and install it in your home.
Here's the kicker. If your TV is not still under warranty, Hitachi will pay for the part (part cost around $1500) but you will have to pay for the install. Our TV is 3.5 years old and was not under warranty and our install cost $400...worth it to us since we spent $3600 on the 60 inch 3.5 years ago. If your TV is still under warranty, Hitachi should pay for the part and install but again, regardless if your under warranty or not, Hitachi WILL COVER THE PART. Please do not let any dealer or store take advantage of you and tell you that you have to pay for this $1500 part. That is happening but most certified dealers will not do that.
Hitachi has not recalled this part (although they should) but they are replacing it for free once you have the tech come out and confirm that it's a bad light engine.
Please deal only with Hitachi's customer RELATIONS department and not customer service. The 800# I listed above is directly to customer relations. Hitachi's customer service department will not help you at all.
Once our light engine was replaced, the set is like BRAND NEW! Good Luck!
Television turned off and red
This is a common problem for DLP TV's the average time for the life span is 6000-8000 life hours witch is a average time of 2-3 years of use if you have not replaced the lamp before I recommend you do that first and that should fix your problem and be careful when you buy a replacement make sure it is a Philips not a Generic I found the lamp you need and it is a Philips

How do i get the hitatchi to auto search?
In the menu select Chan. Manager. Select Antenna if you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna. Select cable (1 or 2) if you have cable TV. Go to autoscan and select start. *NOTE* If you are using an antenna then you should be aware that this TV is not capable of getting broadcast digital stations. You will need a converter box and your box will do the channel changing.
