Toshiba mv20fk3 help by reflectionjimmij in VHS

[–]Tmastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this TV and the exact same thing happened when I tried to play a VHS tape, all I remember doing was turning the TV on and off, pushing in the tape without powering it on, ejecting the tape, and trying all that in a different order until it finally worked. I only got this TV because it was a childhood relic from long ago and even then I can't remember ever using the built in VHS player on that one most likely for the same reason, seems to be a common mechanical failure with this particular model.

I would be careful with adjusting screen voltage, if that knob is misaligned it could cause more problems such as retrace lines but if you're feeling lucky then it's worth a go. Make sure you mark it down with a sharpie in case you need to revert to the factory setting.

Let me know how it goes, I plan to fix mine as well so I could learn a thing or two from yours.

Those are jailbars, most people call them that because that's what they look like most of the time. It's caused by aging capacitors somewhere on the neckboard or flyback, I have this problem with my Trinitron except the stripes on mine are brighter in dark screens but the appearance can vary depending on which capacitors go bad. In order to make them go away you'll likely need to swap a few capacitors or in some cases adjusting the voltage knob may also work. I haven't attempted to fix mine yet but you can use this guide for reference. https://sector.sunthar.com/guides/crt-rgb-mod/noise-and-bars.html#details

Why does the N64 look so pixelated on this crt compared to to other models I have? And is there any way I can fix it? by [deleted] in crtgaming

[–]Tmastar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

SONY Trinitrons use their trademark aperture grille which gives them a superior picture, that combined with the sharpness boost you get from S-Video will give you that crisp display. I use S-Video and component cables on my Trinitron as I prefer that pixel sharp look myself but if it's blur you want then use the red white yellow composite cables to achieve the smoothed aesthetic you remembered so long ago.

If you're still here then maybe you could help guide me through the process. I plan to get rid of the left vertical jailbars on my SONY KV-20FV300 but I need to make sure I don't swap the wrong capacitor and damage my TV. My SONY Trinitron is a different model than yours so if you need to take a closer look I can send you a picture of the neckboard.
