The DIY Projection TV Plan |

|
Troubleshooting:
To fix the wording or text on your
projection from being backward, use the following picture.

Lay the TV on it's back, so the screen faces the
ceiling. With the projector attached to your TV, it will project to the ceiling
in this position. Now, take a mirror at a 45 degree angle and attach it to the
front of your projector box like in the above picture. This will then redirect
the projection onto your wall with the text properly displayed.
To
Improve Picture Quality:
Good results may be obtained by using a
white sheet, a light colored wall, or even a shower curtain. But for best
results we recommend you use a Silver Finished Screen made only for projected TV
images. This will give you up to 6 - times brighter pictures than any other
screen or material. No hot spots. No blurry edges. Can be viewed in partially
lighted rooms.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN PROJECTOR
SCREEN.
Simply buy from your local paint store for about $2.00 a
Spray can of either No. 1246 Testors Enamel in Metallic Silver, or No. 1401
Krylon Bright Silver enamel. Spray lightly several coats on wall, ceiling,
plywood, wallboard, cardboard, etc. Let dry, and make more applications until a
thick and smooth even coat of silver is deposited. This will give you a
professional viewing screen that will greatly improve your projected TV
image.
Blurry edges? Try sandwiching the lens in between two panels of
flat glass. This will insure the lens is completely flat and thus project a
better picture!
Don't Want to Turn your TV upside
down?
Would you rather not turn your TV upside down? Then try this
simple method. It's called Tube Yoke Flipping. Simply find a plug with 4 wires
(red - blue<horizontal lines> and yellow - green<vertical lines>)
and switch the red with the blue/blue with red and yellow with green/green with
yellow. Use the picture below for help when asking your local TV repairman to
complete this for you.

It takes five minutes and you do not have to have any
technical experience to do this! Never opened a TV before? Don't worry! Try
this, it's soooo simple and will not damage your TV.
Do
not open your tv yourself!!! Have a trained tv professional do this for you!!!
Tv's store energy even when unplugged and you can be severely electrocuted if
you touch the wrong thing!!! Take your tv to your local tv repair shop and they
can complete this for you for only a few $.
Again we recommend you not
open your tv yourself! Do not try it! If you do, it is at your own risk!
Color Problems? When you Turn your TV Upside
Down?
When you flip your TV upside down, do you get some
discoloration? Try this method to fix any discoloration...
- Turn your
TV upside down.
- Turn it on and verify the colors are wrong.
- Turn
your TV off, but leave it plugged in.
- Leave your TV off but still plugged
in for at least.
- Turn your TV back on. The colors should be
fixed.
*** Make sure you leave your TV plugged in the whole time while
doing this.
