Help-Line in my RPTV-need conditioner for HT

Thanks to you who told me about the crt fix. YEAH, no more lines, and with my new conditioners, my picture has never been better. Thanks again!!!!

Guys, I put the BPT 3.5 into the system, the picture seems better as far as bright color saturation and more dimensionality, but I still get some lines, uugghhh. In a couple weeks, when they install this crt into my 2 elites, hopefully, all will be well.

Thanks to all here on Audiogon

I have 2 crt kits coming for my 730, and 530. You guys are great, The conditioners do help alot too. At least in my mind....

It is my understanding that what you are experiencing is a Pioneer Elite problem for that 730 model. I would contact your dealer or Pioneer as I believe a fix is out or in the works.

Dseid, My buddy id a manager at Tweeter, where I bought this, I will ask again today. Thanks for the heads up. I certainly hope he can get it done for me. I came up with the 85% by WATCHING THE CLOCK ON MY SHELVE. When I plugged deirectly to the wall, the lines were present all the time. When I plugged into the PC the lines were visible only 15% per hour. I do believe the lines are present, cause the saturation of color seems a bit faded. I just cannot see them, they must be in the blackground.

This sounds exactly like the "streaking" problem heavily discuused at Hometheaterspot, and I experienced as well. Pioneer has finally figured out a fix, which I had installed almost 2 months ago - no return of the green, somtimes big splashs of red, and blue lines.

I do not think a conditioner will change this. Not sure how you arrived at the 85% rate, but you simply should call Pioneer, schedule a repair and it will be fixed - for free.

kbright,

Are your components and TV on the same dedicated line or do you have seperate lines for different components....if so you may be having "out of phase" problems. The TV should be plugged into the same line as you components. One line should power TV, DVD, Cable, etc.

They are on the same circuit.

Or have you moved the TV recently? If you have impacted the TV recently it could need to be realigned.

No movement of TV, I had it realigned a few months ago, but have ordered a guy to do it again.

Thanks

Guys, It's gotta be my power cause about 85% is fixed with the powervar. I gotta believe a great conditioner would fix the rest.

Yes I agree with Conner , your power would have to be really screwed up for this to be the source of the issue.
Your problem sounds more like a convergence, calibration, operational, or malfunction with the televison. A BPT Im sure can make a good picture great, but it sounds like you have more serious issues with the televison, I would be surprised to hear any power conditioner can rectify the symptoms you describe.

Your problem may not be the power going to the TV. The Pioneer Elite X30 series of RPTVs has the potential for a "green streaks" problem. If you do a search on the AVS forum or go to the Pioneer section in the Hometheaterspot forum, you can read up on it and determine if your problem is similar.

Dan, I bought the sig 3.5, should have it by end of week, wwweee isn't this fun.

Steve- A buddy of mine struggled with this for quite a while...he called it a "hum bar".

He finally resolved it through power conditioning and ground management I believe.

I have the BPT Sig. 3.3- I think you might like that unit :)

Good Luck,

Dan

I tried 4 regular outlets and 2 recently dedicated,(no improvement) I do find some improvement with the powervar, but there are still times I get the frigging lines, plus I can tell my picture gets sucky at times. By this I meen the saturation of colors on my screen seem real hazy, non dimensional. I know this TV should have a great picture, and I want it to run at it's best. No, I am not rich, but I just bought a BPT 3.5 sig off audiogon (reasonable)and hope that solves this issue, along with making both my systems sound better. I get impatient, yaknow.

Wait, are you saying that plugging the gear into a powerbar reduces the lines? If so then you might be right about your power, otherwise I would check the signal cables first. And why not buy a long extension cord or something and plug the TV into another outlet to see if anything changes? Or at least try to get a powerconditioner to try out with a return policy. But if you're rich, then ya don't worry and just buy the BPT and tell us if it fixes anything.

Try unplugging your cable TV from the wall, so that there is absolutely no cable TV connection, and see if the lines go away. A ground loop problem with your cable can cause strange visual effects.

Tvad, you are funny, no excuse here for purchase. I have an elite HD530 in my bedroom, same 127v current, no lines. My HT room is on the same level of my utlily room, and next to the utlilty rom in the garage. I think it is in the lines. I have also had the techs over from tweeter to calibrate, and check the set out. Now, may be they are lying to me(I hope not)OK, maybe it is a minor excuse. I am searching.....HELP

Tvad, I also get lines on DVD. I tried all of the above. I also had a dedicated line put in. Direct to the wall is the worst. My modded powervar is better, most of the time, but, I hate the lines whenever I see them. I can P/U a BPT 3.5 sig for a good deal, but wanna make sure before the hassle, it will work. Thanks for the suggestions.
