Magic Focus on Hitachi HDTV Ultravision

When we go to turn off our T.V., the magic focus comes on and the T.V. won't turn off. Then, after the magic focus is through, it goes back to the channel we were watching, except with no sound. If we push the remote "on" button again, we get the same channel with sound. If we go to turn it off, we start all over again with the magic focus coming on. The blue light won't go off and we hear no click. We've changed the batteries in the remote and it still won't work. Can you help me?

    I'm having the same problem, but with the 46" version of the TV. It just started tonight.

SOURCE: Magic Focus does not work.

Convergence issues usually resolved by changing convergence output amplifier IC's.....Original STK392-110 should be replaced
with upgrade Stk394-160E Hitachi part # CZ 01341,change both
for reliability.....check B+ feed resistors for over-heating....T.

SOURCE: PROJECTION TV HITACHI ULTRAVISION COLOR CONVERGENCE PROBLEM

it sounds like your blue convergence ic is getting weak you need to replace the ic's STK392-110 and you should replace both because when 1 is bad the other will go real soon. They are inexspensive at the sight I posted and you will also get free tech online support if you purchase them there.

SOURCE: Magic Focus does not fix the blue 57UWX20B Hitachi

you need to replace the convergence ICs they are STK392-110 you can get replacements at the following link and they send instalation instructions with pictures so you can do the repair yourself. You need to replace both IC they are both STK392-110 they are located on the large heat sink on the far right side of your Tvs' chassis Heres the link for replacement ICs

Your problem is the convergence circuit. This is very common in CRT projection sets like yours. There are a couple of IC's that need to be changed and possibly some resistors. A good repair shop will run you $400-$500 to do the repair.

Hitachi 51S700 won't turn off

Some kind of a problem likely in the magic focus area--is the set showing a error on screen if you engage the magic focus?

One thing not to do is disconnect the sensors inside the screen as that could make things worse......

Magic focus

That's a DP23 chassis, why replace the deflection board? Does magic focus come on the screen? Does it just no converge the picture? If so, it's likely that the convergence amps have failed.
That unit takes two STK392-110 Sanyo built Ics at board position Ic04 & Ic05. If you replace them I'd upgrade to the STK392-150's for greater reliability.
