I had a Sony proj. in a while back with your symptoms. It turned out to be IC301 on the "M" board causing venetion blind effect. As I recall it was the video jungle chip. Part number was CXA1477S. I know that's different from yours but this may help. Dave Huston Huston TV & Electronics 2846 Marion-Cardington Rd.E.

The symtpom is very slight,but the customer notices it. I've resoldered,checked caps. I can chill IC351 CXA2025S and get all kinds of Video reactions(screen changes to different colors,OSD goes dim) but the Venetian Blind effect seems to stay.
