Submitted By Ron Date Posted 8/20/2003 4:12:53 AM Title RCA Model P46732BA Projection TV-Intermittent Parental Control   Message New problem with RCA Model P46732BA (Chassis PTK 169 PGA Projection TV. Originally, set would lose video intermittently. I had notice that there was soldering work done previously on main chassis and 8000 convergence board and 7000 convergence amp board (red). Video was re-established when components re-soldered on SPIP board. After running for several days, (turn-on, run for an hour, shutoff for an hour), a new wrinkle appeared. Turned on set. An audible pop was heard on the speaker. Then the line, " Parental Co " appeared on the screen. I assumed that it stood for parental control with the section "ntrol" missing. The colors blue and green were predominate, but red missing. I didn't realize that a V-Chip could be involved. However, front panel and remote keys were disabled. When you pressed "menu" on the keyboard or remote, the screen went dark momentarily and then the line re-appeared. Shutting down the set for a short time and sometimes unplugging it and turning it back on did not change the problem. However, when left unplugged overnight, the next morning, the set turned on without a hitch. Firstly, can the PIP be bypassed (as in Mitsubishi sets with the infamous Sony circuit) or disabled? Secondly, where should I be looking at to prevent this Parental Control phenomenon? Please help.
