Sony FD Trinitron WEGA KV-27FS100 27" TV Logo
Posted on Sep 28, 2008

Sony Trinitron TV that's about 14 years old

We have a local cable service and when I called about 1 channel that has a black box that takes up about 1/2 or less of the picture they said it was the picture in picture -- to refer to the manual on how to fix it -- our manual mentions nothing about picture in picture or how to fix it... Of course, this is one of our favorite channels to watch -- any suggestions? The manual lists on the front KV-13M10, KV-MT1300, KV-14R10, KV-1460R, K-20M10, K20S10, KV-MT2000, KV-ST2050, KV-21R10, KV-21RS10, KV-2180R, KV-2190RS. Not sure which one is our model...

On your sony tv (not cable) remote - hit the MENU button, then scroll right to SETUP on the screen - the first choice - caption vision - is probably set on a close caption or text - change it to off. i had the same problem - would pop up occasionally and only on certain screens. this fixed it. hope it works for you.

Need the unlock code to get channels on the t.v. model ku-27525. yr1996. sony trinitron..*** we're in desperate help..please

Have you used Parental control to block channels?
Maybe just go into the TV menu and unlock there.
If not and the TV is using a cable or Satellite box then just use Video 1 or others even channel 3 to get the channels from the box.
Today we have a lot of free digital TV from our old roof antennas you might look into that.
My own Cablevision on Long Island ,NY has lost 5 and 9 due to a dispute with their source but who cares I have digital from my roof antenna put up in 1965. Please let us know if these ideas helped.

Blackout area on screen

Make sure the TEXT and CAPTION options are turned off.

I am not sure about the Sonny's, but on my Toshiba a black box appears when I inadvertently leave one of the close captioning (CC) on for text or captions on (such as CC1, CC2, etc.).

My sony wega 36' circa 2001 will not receive cable signal.

If none of the r.f. inputs are working and you do not get local channels off of a pair of rabbit ears. You may have a bad tuner. Which you can get replaced for 125.00-150.00 or you could run the cable into a vcr input and use audio/video cables to connect to a video input on the tv and switch tv to that input and run the channels using your vcr. In other words, use your tv as a monitor and use the vcr tuner to pickup basic cable. Hope that takes care of it, Russmann.

Cannot see TV through digital box on my sony trinitron

If there is no audio as well then this suggest that the digital box is at fault. The fact that you can watch DVD's proves this fact. Unplug the digital box for 2 minutes and then re-try. Good luck.
