The message about the AC adaptor is precautionary. Uploading a video can take quite a while. It would be disastrous to have the battery run out of juice before the operation is finished because the file would be ruined and you'd have to do it over again.

Replace bulb

select the menu button then go to aspect ratio settings. choose wide or 4:3 option aspect ratio.

You might start by cleaning the lenses & mirror(this may use a Mylar sheet rather than mirror,don't try to clean the mylar) then install a new lamp part#: TY-LA1001 $70.00 http://www.tvpartsguy.com/servlet/the-11855/TV-Lamp-TY-dsh-LA1001-for/Detail or $49.00 to $80.00 http://www.shopjimmy.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=ty-la1001 If that doesn't cure it you most likely need a new light engine/optic block which would make the repairs cost prohibitive even if you can locate the light engine.

first try cleaning all lenses & mirrors. Considering the age of unit you may need to replace cooling fluid in front of each CRT. I highly recommend a professional to do this if you consider it economically feasible. Possibly 1 or more CRT weak.

We recommend you remove the "Digital In" cable connection from the rear of the TV and turn it back on. If the problem persists, we recommend having the TV evaluated by an authorized service center using the below link. www.panasonic.com/repair If the TV turns on then we recommend having the Toshiba Home Theater evaluated.

This is a trouble code. Check their website to see if it is a bad bulb, overtemp indication, or a power supply issue.

its power transistor is burnt, get a new one cheaper than repair it..

refer manual

the cause is either a bad component in the power supply unit or if the lamp has a problem which cause an error detected by the main board.

A suggestion here--the fact you have sound is a good sign.This set was prone to one fairly simple problem----If you turn it on and after a minute or so (sound is there) you see a faint band of white or odd noise on the screen, usually to the middle or right side of the screen (hard to see) you have a bad cap and I can tell where it is and what its value is and how to get at it and replace it---less than a 5 dollar part--but you must let me know if you see the faint band top to bottom after a minute or two.SD TECHThis part is c509 and is marked on the board---it is a .47 microfarad cap at 200 or plus volts and many times the brown cap will have a crack in the side (not always) but if you have the band of noise it is the problem.There is right and wrong way to get at it to replace if if it is bad.This is what the board (right side view and on right side as seen from rear of set looks like.)

I presume model number is correct---with sound after about 2 minutes if you see a faint band of white noise top to bottom to the right of the center of the screen (easy to miss) C509 is bad.

IC4511 has failed on the DG board replaing the DG board as a unit i the only way to fix the issue. The DG board isnt serviceable

yes and also possibly the low ohm resistors. You can get the PT53WX53 convergence kit which fits your model from www.tvrepairworld.com which has the 2 ICs and associated resistors plus the CD with repair instructions.

IT WILL NEED BOTH REPLACED---IF you have a email address I can provide you with start to finish instructions for free---parts cost will be under 30 dollars.

see answer just posted for the duplicate question posted here two times by the site.

It does not have a digital tuner so my answer would be yes.
