Bad news - for some reason it sorta squeezes the image off to the left a couple inches or so. Tried changing the zoom and 4:3 settings, to no avail. Though it might be an issue with the LD player at first (you know that one problem that is reported of the early LX-900's and Runco LJR models of a portion of the right side of the image being cut off), but then I plugged a DVD recorder into the box via component and had the same problem.

Wild guessing here: since the scaler/screen was bundled together, could the scaler compensate for a specificity of the screen and, if you use scaler+screen together, it would render the picture normally?

Okay so the DVI to HDMI cable didn't change anything on the LEDTV. Still squeezed things off to the left of the image a few inches no matter what video I fed to it.

Tried the box on the plasma, same issue.

Also tried it on a LCD computer monitor for good measure with LD and my Sega Saturn connected via S-Video. Same problem.

I did notice that the box power light doesn't stay green after you turn it on. It turns to a flashing red light, even though it is still sending video out.

All in all, I might just have a bum box.

You don't have this issue do you sgtdave?

Well I know WEGAs have a well known issue of a flashing red power light and the screen won't come on. The fix is a replacing a single chip.

It's possible that it's the same issue?

I might contact an authorized Sony repair center and see if they can take a look.

Could anyone explain the "black" and "white" outputs on the Display Signal out?

To display to a modern TV all you would use is the white DVI-I out? Does the "black" connection carry some other information for projectors? I've never looked at a projector up close so not familar.

Here is what I'm talking about:

I programmed my Harmony for this and one of the options is horizontal shift, maybe that is your issue? Mine arrives tomorrow.

I’m wondering if the blinking red might may also mean that since the unit hasn’t been powered on in 15 years that it may have returned to factory defaults. That and the display coms theory are both possible. The image is presumably there and it is a DVI port so this should be fixable and still worth the effort.

If you’ve ever returned a late period WEGA to factory defaults you know the definition of “bricked”. Fixing it is...well I don’t know how to do it. They hand corrected every one at the factory so default values produce garbage geometry on every set. You NEVER want to pull that trigger. Plasma geometry is a simpler affair though so hopefully if it’s a similar issue it can just be adjusted out.

You’d need the service manual though and likely the OG remote.
