I decided to try replacing the color wheel first. The old color wheel had a few scratches and the blue wire had a very small crack in the insulation. After installing the new color wheel, the picture is great. The red colo noise is gone. I have had the tv on for two days with getting any red color n...

The tv has not developed any abnormal sound. The problem is digital red noise.

The red noise problem never completely disapeared. It comes and goes everytime I use the tv. It seems to begin within an hour after the tv is turned on.

When the distortion occurs, the Tv picture shows isolated areas of the red color noise, the direct tv menu gets the horizonital pink wavy distortion, and the Tv internal menu become red, off and on. All the imputs are either component or hdmi digital imputs.

Does anybody on this forum have any suggestions as to what is causing my problem? Any help would be appreciated. I live 150 miles from any major city where I could get this Tv looked at.

The distortion just re-occured. The Tv internal menu showed a on off red color.
