To use a Trinitron with DTV, a separate set top box will be needed to receive and decode the digital signal. The video and audio outputs from the set top box can be connected to the video input of the television. Most, but not all, Trinitron models have at least one video input. If the television does not have any video input then it has almost certainly reached the end of its useful life.

You can probably connect it through an HDMI cable.

Whether you need a digital converter box for a Sony Trinitron depends on the model and the type of signal you're trying to receive. If your Trinitron is an older model that only supports analog signals, you will need a digital converter box to receive over-the-air digital broadcasts. However, if your Trinitron has a built-in digital tuner, it may not require a converter box. Always check your specific model's specifications to be sure.

For each pixel position a Sony Trinitron picture tube uses a group of 3 very thin red, green and blue vertical lines of phosphorescent material. If you look closely at a Trinitron screen you will see hundreds of red, green and blue vertical stripes, very closely packed together, going across the whole width of the screen. Non-Trinitron tubes use triplets of tiny red, green and blue phosphorescent dots instead of lines. When it was first invented back in the early 1970s Sony claimed that the Trinitron system gives a sharper picture because, on the production lines in the factories, putting in place the phosphor lines could be controlled much more accurately than having to position millions of separate dots. Over the past 30 years systems for manufacturing picture tubes using triplets of tiny red, green and blue dots have improved so much that the Trinitron design may no longer have as much superiority as was originally claimed for it, but it is still an excellent system.

Sony uses a sequence of flashing lights to indicate service codes. It is similar to Morse code, ie 3 short 1 long. You will need to look up your exact model Trinitron and see what the service code means.

Not much as you will need at least $80/100 just to cart it to your house.

Every TV manufacturer that I'm aware, has buttons on the front of the set which will duplicate the functions of the remote control. You could probably start with the `menu' button and then take it from there. But that is not true at least with with Sony Trinitron. The only buttons are "demo", "tv/video", "volume", "channel", "power".

"Trinitron" is a Sony brand for CRT televisions. Sony does not manufacture CRT (tube-style) TV's anymore. The largest residential televisions Sony currently sells are 60 inches in diagonal measurement, although commercial displays (known generally as "JumboTrons") can be several times larger.
The last big CRT Sony made was the KV-40XBR800 screen, which was in the WEGA lineup, and used Trinitron (shadow-mask) technology. It was 40 inches in diagonal measurement and weighed over 300 pounds.

The Sony Trinitron KV-29FX11A TV has a resolution of 720 x 576 pixels, which is standard for a PAL format television. Its refresh rate is typically 50 Hz, as it operates in the PAL system. This model is designed for analog broadcasting and is not equipped for modern high-definition resolutions or refresh rates.

Most likely not, since the digital craze didn't start until a few years later.

Although Sony Trinitron televisions are now obsolete, the infra-red codes used to control Sony televisions have remained very similar for many years. It is worth trying codes for newer Sony televisions or use televisions listed as "Control S" format.
Newer models may have codes that differ slightly but there is a good chance that you will have all of the basic controls.

Mercury has been used throughout the electronics industry and older televisions commonly had mercury within them.
Legislation in Europe, NAFTA and other regions has restricted the use of mercury and other chemicals in domestic and commercial equipment. Therefore, new televisions contain no more than trace amounts of mercury.
The Trinitron series of CRT televisions, not manufactured for over 10 years now, did have mercury in many of its components.

To remove SAR (Sound Automatic Reset) on a Sony Trinitron TV, first, ensure that the TV is powered on and not muted. Then, check the volume settings and cycle through the audio settings in the menu to reset or adjust them. If the issue persists, try unplugging the TV for a few minutes and then plugging it back in to reset the system. If sound still does not work, it may be a hardware issue that requires professional repair.

Yes and it is marked MTS on the remote. Or it might be located in the AUDIO MENU as CC.

About $50 if it is working well. This 36" CRT screen weighs over 200 pounds, so very few people want it.

Yes, but it can be a major repair job and unless you're qualified to do it, I'd suggest you call someone willing to do one at home. It's much easier to do it in the shop.

Your remote batteries could be dead. Try pressing the power button on the TV. If it doesn't turn on, it's time to buy a new TV. CRT televisions are not worth fixing these days.

This model predates online owner's manuals from Sony, so you are unlikely to find it for free from Sony or a dealer. There are several member's only (paid) services online that offer user-scanned manuals.
There is a source in Denmark for the service manual (for repairs). See the link below.

No, this TV has an analog tuner. When it was built, it was thought that DVI was going to be the connection of choice for HDTV systems, so it has these inputs. It can be connected to HDTV tuners w ith a HDMI to DVI converter cable.

In the old days of CRT televisions, I would have rated Sony TVs at the top. Their Trinitron picture tube was (in my opinion) the best picture tube made.
But now, in the era of flat-screen TVs, the relative merits of the various makes are less significant. I bought a "bottom of the line" TV from Best Buy because it had all of the features I needed, and didn't cost me a fortune.

No, it doesn't. If a TV does have a Digital Tuner then it will say so in the menu.

If you have vertical lines on an LCD TV it is most likely that the TFT panel has failed. This would make the TV beyond economical repair. To be sure tack it to your local repair centre.
Additional information: 1 or 2 very thin lines on Sony CRT (tube) televisions are normal. The vertical lines are actually support wires for Sony's Trinitron aperture grille system.

Depends on the picture, but used electronics aren't worth much. You might get $35 -50.00 for a working set with a good picture, if you're lucky.
If it looks good and works OK, I'd consider hanging onto it until it dies. The new TV's aren't all they're cracked up to be and you might get three years out of one before you start having problems. Today's new TV"s aren't anything to write home about, as they say.
Since it's a Sony, if nothing more's wrong with it than a dark picture, you might want to consider paying to have the tube rejuvinated. It could bring the tube back to life for as much as another two years and most TV shops only charge around $35.00 for the procedure, plus service call. (Sony's seem to respond to the rejuvination process better than any other brand.)
I disagree as to the "potential value" of electronics which is "antique" or out of production. Especially if it is in MINT condition and working order. I have 2 units of 13 year old SONY TRINITRON - one is 36" and the other is 32". Both used daily and never looked better. The original Apple computer in 1976 sold for $666.66 and was sold recently at Sotheby auction for $ 374,500. Today I would not sell my 36" Sony for less than 25K - remember they don't make these any more - it has an intrinsic historical value - even for museums. Do you know that a used pair of MADE in USA Converse men's canvas jogger is priced about $500
today? Why? - because they don't have any Converse production in the USA anymore.

It should turn off automatically if you plug it into your computer and turn the computer on. If it doesn't, something is wrong. First thing to check is the plug that plugs into the computer for bent pins. Also check the other end of the cable that plugs into the back of the monitor. If the pins are not bent then you will likely need to take it to a shop for repair or replacement.

Your LCD panel is likely failing, according to several sites. If it is on an edge, though, it could be software/cable related (external connection with the Sky+HD Box).
If this is a CRT (tube) TV and nothing but the line is present, then it could be the horizontal deflection system is broken. If there is still a picture, you may be seeing the support wires (there will be 2 or 3 or them) that hold up the aperature grid on Trinitron-style CRT televisions. This is normal.

There is a button on the actual TV control panel (in the front, near the RCA input and the S-video input) that controls PIP. It looks kind of like a cross with a dot in the middle. So this is the button layout... it's like MENU - ARROW DOWN - ARROW UP - PIP (which actually looks more like an addition symbol). Just click on that and use your universal remote's arrow keys to scroll down to exit. Click on 'exit' and the PIP disappears.

Could be a couple of problems, off hand. I'd suspect either the voltage regulation system or the pincusion circuit. Is it worth repair? Dunno. Not too expensive to repair parts wise, but TV repair today is getting very expensive. Get an estimate first and then decide, but be prepared to shell out a few bucks up front to get the estimate done since the technician has to locate the problem to let you know what it's going to cost to complete the repairs.

27" televisions aren't worth much these days, and it's probably not worth having it repaired. You can call around and see what the basic charge is to provide you with an estimate, but expect around $35.00 on the average. And you should be able to set a limit on the repair so that if it exceeds a certain amount, they'll call you and get approval. If you ask around, you may find someone who works on the sets on the side and who's willing to give you a break on the repair. As it is, I wouldn't consider putting much, if anything into it.

The Sony KV-34HS420 is a CRT (tube television) and was available in 2006 - 2007. It was fitted with a standard definition tuner but with an HD input, it was capable of showing HD material at 1080i. The inputs include a DVI which is compatible with HDMI video signals as well as component inputs which may be capable of receiving HD signals. The HD component input is somewhat academic now as no new equipment offers analog HD on component connectors.
The DVI connector is compatible with HDMI but be aware that much of the HDMI content is copy protected and there is no guarantee that the DVI input will decode all HDMI signals.

Monitors, otherwise known as displays or screens, currently come in two formats: LCD and Trinitron ("the boxy thingy"). LCD pros: Flat, low radiation (as far as I know) LCD cons: displays can either come with or develop "dead pixels" - pixels that remain a solid color or display black, are very fragile - pressing the display surface is not "healthy" for the display Trinitron pros: deep color Trinitron cons: relatively moderate-to-medium radiation Both types of displays can suffer from "screen burn" - if an image is displayed for too long (several hours/days) it will permanently "burn" itself into the display and be visible at all times. Display technology is undergoing major research and development, and Plasma displays which feature very high quality are becoming cheaper and therefore more widespread. OLED (Organic LED) systems which feature extremely high contrast ratio (looking at something on an OLED is apparently not very different from seeing it in real life, as I've read) and although these are typically only found in MP3 players at the moment, they're being actively developed and will probably feature in TVs very soon (TV-sized displays built off prototypes of the devices already exist).

In 1968 most people still had black and white TV sets - only 24% of households had a color TV set. Almost 95% of homes in 1968 had a television.
The first "instant on" television was produced by Westinghouse in 1968. It kept power flowing to the CRT at all times.
Color television sets typically came in "furniture grade" wooden consoles. The price of a 23" 1968 Admiral Color Console TV was: $349.
In 1968, Sony developed the Trinitron tube, revolutionizing the picture quality of color television. World television ownership nears 200 million, with 78 million sets in the U.S. alone. The U.S. television industry now has annual revenues of about $2 billion and derives heavy support from tobacco advertisers.

If you have to ask, I seriously don't think you're qualified to even try such a task. There's more to it than just replacing the picture tube, like the alignement of the convergence, among other things, and that usually requires some type of electronics training. I've changed several pix tubes over the years and although Sony is one of the easiest as far as the mechanicals go. BUT,m the big problem is the convergence and set-up of the yoke assembly, depending on the make, model and brand. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes, you don't and it takes awhile to get it tuned in. If you can afford it, have a trained technician do it for you. There's too many opportunities to get knocked back on your keester if you don't know what you're doing.

This model size wise was not a big seller. Beyond pricetag it was a problem moving it. Seriously. When I bought mine they sent three guys to deliver it. And they actually looked terrified. To my knowledge they were only sold where the dealer could deliver and set up. The weight is several hundred pounds and all of it in the front of the tv in the screen. From memory, I recall the exact weight as 298 lbs. I have personally moved this tv a couple of times and it really is all of that and then some. It is not difficult to move if you have long arms and grab it from the front, where all of the weight is. The challenge is staying on your feet, because it will buckle your knees. Ours is in the basement now and I just moved it last night. Moving it off of a two foot high stand put me down to the ground. I was able to get it back onto the stand but it was the max weight lift for me, and I'm an ex weight lifter in good shape. So don't plan on doing this yourself, or asking someone to help you who isn't in great shape. Someone will get hurt. Beyond that, it really is the best tv ever manufactured. Indestructable, incredible picture, and a great anchor for any room in the house. Literally. Your house won't move if you have this tv in it. It might sink though.

Well this is a job best left to a tv repair shop. Removing the old tube should not be a hard job except I would caution you not to lift the tube by it's neck and you should wear safety glasses and gloves because these tubes can implode (blow up) if dropped. Also it's possible to get a shock on the old tube, one time this happened to me as I was lifting a picture tube and placing it into the back of my car. Lucky that my dad was helping me otherwise I could have dropped the tube. The tube should be discharged before you remove it. The real problem is going to be reinstalling the yoke coil and magnets from the old tube to the new one and then adjusting them so the color is in alignment. If you have never done this before you could spend hours trying to get the colors adjusted right.
