My JVC TV has developed the following problem:

Thin horizontal red lines are visible stretching from one side of the screen to the other. Consecutive lines are joined by a red diagonal line as per the letter Z.

It's just out of the warranty period of course so I'd like to have an idea of the problem before I call the service centre.

Thanks
Ian

The red horizontal lines (usually running slightly diagonal) are called "vertical retrace lines". The usual cause of this problem is a failed capacitor in the vertical oscillator circuit.

Check out Section 25.11 for more information.

I'm not certain of the date of manufacture, I've had it for 14 months.

The model is AV-28WFR1EKS.
