Tried to setup with computer ,made a cable but could not get It to communicate After two days ,I set up with remote and wow what a picture, After that I have two horizontal line at the bottom half of the screen.aprox. 6" wide and 6" appart. and
they are translucent,but darker in gamma.
I'm pushing my video thru a hd 300 card. I Thought It might be the card or even the driver but a new hd 5570 did the same thing . could this be a card, or what.

Sounds like it's a setup issue.

You are probably pulling the raster apart with vertical linearity balance.

oh and the lines are really only visible in light scenes,and all three tubes.
so if you think it in the setup ,what should I try,to rule that out?

Just reset all of the convergence and alignment settings from the top level of the menu, and start again.

CTRL + NORMAL, then CANCEL, then ENTER will reset the current menu level and all levels below it.

NEVER do this reset on Kelvin or the Ref Adjust menu (projector is immediately a basket case after that), but it's fine on Alignment, Convergence and Point.

If it doesn't work, just turn it off without saving (assuming auto save is off, which is the default).

I've seen what I think you are discribing when I had UP/DN SHIFT adjusted to a negative value. I forget the exact value where the problem starts but I remember it gets more likely as you go negative or close to zero.

I moved all 3 the rasters up and may mabe that fixed it But don'nt know until I finish convergence.
sure wish I could get The computer and camera working It would make setup a ton easer

Wow finally chase the the nasty bug down . First setup I did saved to memorey . looked pritty good then shut down. lost convrgece.
Errrr. redid , looked good , shut down agin . lost convergence....double errrrrrr, re converged agin but saved setup 10 times. was able to fine one number that saved It right...... durring this time I was also having pc problems.. This last year I built a new pc msi 790gx -g65 wa pheonom II 3.4 with 4 gigs of fatal1ty ram and a radeon hd 5570 . wanted to put xp pro 64 on it but could'nt find a copy that hand the updated service pac so I bought windows 7 pro 64 on It .. after I did the updates including the video card I had all kinds of problems with the video end of It . freakish band lines , twisted colors , very unstable. put the same radeon card in my xp computer and wamo . looks alsome . another great product from bill gates.....
