Help-Line in my RPTV-need conditioner for HT

This sounds exactly like the "streaking" problem heavily discuused at Hometheaterspot, and I experienced as well. Pioneer has finally figured out a fix, which I had installed almost 2 months ago - no return of the green, somtimes big splashs of red, and blue lines.

I do not think a conditioner will change this. Not sure how you arrived at the 85% rate, but you simply should call Pioneer, schedule a repair and it will be fixed - for free.

Dseid, My buddy id a manager at Tweeter, where I bought this, I will ask again today. Thanks for the heads up. I certainly hope he can get it done for me. I came up with the 85% by WATCHING THE CLOCK ON MY SHELVE. When I plugged deirectly to the wall, the lines were present all the time. When I plugged into the PC the lines were visible only 15% per hour. I do believe the lines are present, cause the saturation of color seems a bit faded. I just cannot see them, they must be in the blackground.

It is my understanding that what you are experiencing is a Pioneer Elite problem for that 730 model. I would contact your dealer or Pioneer as I believe a fix is out or in the works.

I have 2 crt kits coming for my 730, and 530. You guys are great, The conditioners do help alot too. At least in my mind....

Guys, I put the BPT 3.5 into the system, the picture seems better as far as bright color saturation and more dimensionality, but I still get some lines, uugghhh. In a couple weeks, when they install this crt into my 2 elites, hopefully, all will be well.

Thanks to all here on Audiogon
