Entertainment Center: TVs, Stereos, VCRs and DVDs - Sony TV "negative" image

I have a Sony KZ32TS1U flat panel TV. It suddenly went from normal color to "negative" color -- that is, the picture looks like it is a negative from a color picture. Skin looks blue and darks generally look light. This happened while people were watching it, there were no changes in any connections. Any ideas?

How are you connecting the unit ?

It is possible that a rca or coaxil cable connection has failed or is just slightly loose.

Id start with that, double check the connections, make sure they are all the way in and try it and then try some different cables.


are you using a cable box ? sometimes when a cable box is failing it was cause this also.

Thanks for the response. One more detail: when I run the DVD player, I get a blank white screen (sound works fine).

I've pushed in all connections -- no change.

I've disconnected the cable box and run the cable straight into the TV -- no change.

I also have disconnected the cable entirely and tried to run the DVD player into the TV (using an SVideo connection) -- no change (still a blank white screen).

There are no color adjusting knobs on the TV, or any other knobs, for that matter.

Any more thoughts?

P.S. I also tried a different cable wire from the cable outlet in the wall to the TV -- no change. Other TVs in the house work just fine.

Sounds like you have tried about everything can be tried that is simple.

It might be time to retire the unit or repair. Unless perhaps someone else on the forum may know the exact failure and what that may cost to replace.
