Color Television Wrong Colors
Looking for some help here.
I have a Sony 26 inch color television that was built in 1985.
The problem I have is that it now generates the wrong colors.
By the way the wrong colors are stable.
I hooked up the output of a NTSC color bar generator to it and
this is what I get on the screen;
================================================================
Should Be Is
================================================================
white white
yellow blue
cyan yellow
green brown
magenta cyan
red blue
blue green
black black
=================================================================
I have tried adjusting the Color and Hue controls, they have
an effect but still can not get the colors correct.
Seems like most of the color processing is done in a single IC
and the inputs to it appear to be normal, the outputs do not.
Picture tube inputs look correct in that when it is generating
one of the colors the appropriate gun is turned on. If the IC
that does the color was not so expensive ($50) from Sony I would
just replace it if I was sure it was the problem !!
So the question I have, are there any other parts of the chroma
system that could cause this to happen such as the Comb filter or
Luminance circuits ??
Thanks in Advance;
Joe
