Damon, Your problem is a bad filter in the 16v source. Replace C559(220mfd-25v) off of D551 which is located off of pin 7 of flyback.

Customer's DVD player wasn't affected at all on Video 1 input. Once in a while, I would hear the audio buzz for a second. Customer says the picture gets better with time, but I was there 2 hours and it sure didn't improve (course I didn't want it to, thus I kept it off 90% of the time). > > Who has seen this problem on the Quasar/Panasonic line?? > > Thanks in advance. > > Damon Brunger > damon101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Telrad Electronic Services > Ft Wayne, IN 46815 > > ------------------------------------------ > Help make your TechAssist database better! > Submit your fixes here: http://circuitwork.com/techassist/tip/#tips > ------------------------------------------ > To UNSUBSCRIBE your email address, click here: > mailto:techassist-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > Or send a BLANK email with unsubscribe in the > SUBJECT field to the address above. > ------------------------------------------ Help make your TechAssist database better!
