i just recently purchased a kv32fs16 and need some help with a
few problems. it seems to me that on the left side of the screen
that whenever the picture pans there seems to be a wave effect
that occurs which is really annoying to view. the other problem i
have occurs when a white or light screen is present and there
seems to be a red tint to the left and right sides of the screen.
these two things are very annoying ad would like to be able to fix
them considering the investment i made in this television. i
know its not a high end model but i still think i should get a
quality picture. thanks for your help.
ps. does anyone know where to get the service manual for this
model.

Did you figure out the problem?? I can tell you that on the Wega XBR's that speakers play havoc...Also a heavy transport or DVD player such as the Sonyes 9000 placed high and on the side of the television will cause the same problems...Green/red corners are classic magnetism problems as mentioned earlier...good luck
it didnt help and i am in the process of trying to get best buy to give me a new tv. has anyuone had experience trying to get a new one from best buy. any further suggetions with the tv or best buy would be much appreciated. considering i am a struggling college kid and the tv i buy is trash i would love to hear anything positive or negative.
Well, I bought my first WEGA at Tweeter. Damn thing was noisy (elctrical hum) when on, and didn't "get" certain channels. I brought it back, complained (politely), and walked out with a new one.You paid good coin for this set. Don't accept anything less than flawless function.
how long was it after you purchased it that you returned it. thanks kenneth
I don't remember specifically, but my best guess would be 2 to 4 weeks. Didn't even have to return it in the box(!).
I agree with Joe Murphy Jr--it sounds like a magnetic flux field problem to me.
Is the picture on your TV set up properly (ie; Video Essentials, AVIA or A Video Standard)? It's possible some of the settings are currently way too high or incorrect. Also, do you have speakers next to or very close to the TV? If you do, are they magnetically sheilded? It sounds as though driver magnets may be causing a discoloration of the picture. As for the wave, I believe this same situation can be caused by magnetism. Just some thoughts.
i think you are dead on, joe. after moving the offending speaker (with unshielded magnets) you probably will find things go back to normal, that is after turning off or unplugging the set so the built-in degausser kicks in.the avia dvd is well worth it's price (!!) and the common "banding problems" that many complain about with sony wegas are usually nothing more than black level and/or white levels not properly set.
i know, since i went through watching things like the intro to star trek: next generation and going into orbit each time :-)
the series begins with black and blacker-than-black shots (space, the final frontier ... ) and huge, disconcerting, rolling black and grey bands - this used to drive me crazy. it suddenly occured to me to make adjustments with the avia on the tv's STANDARD video setting (and not just the movie setting)
those annoying problems (which i had believed to be a design or manufacturing flaw) with my 36XBR disappeared (duh!) without a trace.
the set's default video settings are punched up way to high, so that on certain material you see the wretched effects. there is a caveat however. i left the white level and some other adjustments closer to the default on the standard picture, since unless you watching movies in the dark with an exceptional video source, the picture is just too dull and lifeless. my advice is to use the standard picture mode (with avia black level tweaks) for normal daytime viewing with satellite/tv source, and use the movie picture mode for dvd sources (e.g. component video) in total darkness - and don't forget to use the (critical) bias light when you set up for home theatre viewing of such sources.
after using avia carefully, i no longer feel an ISF technician is absolutely critical to getting a good picture. but to really knock you socks off or if you have persistent problems, a properly equipped ISF technician visit is worth much more than what the visit costs. there are adjustments (like grey level) that only can be made with tech and high priced diagnostic equipment.
Hmmm...the wave effect sounds like some inherent internal damage. I would take it back to the dealer.As far as the tint goes, have you played around with all the coloring options (brightness, tint, color, etc> )? There are also picture mode options (Vivid, sports, movie, normal) that dramatically affect the picture.
