I ran into a strange problem while setting up my new "gym projector". There are these three lines (RGB) running horizontally across the screen, on top of the actual picture. What are they doing there? I'm fairly happy with the convergence etc. settings, but these keep bothering me, mainly because I'm afraid they'll burn into the pristine tubes (which they will, given enough time). The video source isn't the culprit here, they're there even with the internal test patterns.

Here's a poor quality picture of this "phenomenon" (cell phone cams get very noisy in the dark). Sorry about that, but I didn't have a real camera on site. It'll give you an idea of what's going on though.



I'm fairly sure that it's something obvious, but can't think of anything right now. Please share your thoughts.

Could it be an AKB line? IE, is AKB turned on? Try turning it off and see if that fixes it.

What kind of PJ?

Thanks, you too!

Although, I've just come to realize it's Monday over here already (1:14 AM). But I refuse to face that reality until the sun rises. Smile
