For those who own a Mitsubishi RPTV *new question on bottom of thread*

[MrCodeDude]

How exactly are you supposed to fix the red push on all signals without voiding your warranty? I've heard of 3dB attenuators but that only helps component (which ATM is only DVD). How to I completely correct the red push without the I2C trick and voiding my warranty?

You don't.

If you read 100 opinions by 100 people, they'll all be different.

From my perspective, it appears that Mits is taking the don't ask/don't tell approach to this problem.

Build the I2C cable. Reprogram the color decoder. Enjoy your television. (Or hire a pro to come reprogram it for you.)

depending on which model you have, you might be able to just go into the service mode and change some setting there. I have the 42311, from what I've heard, I can't fix the red push even using the I2C cable. I found this out after I've already got the I2C cable. I am just using radio shack attenuators right now. let me know if you are interested in the I2C cable.

goto hometheaterspot.com, they have tons of info on mits.

I fixed it in my service menu.

Of course, Mitsubishi is trying to pretend the problem I have with a y/c delay doesn't exist. There's a thread at hometheaterspot about it.

Yeah, I'm a paid member over at HomeTheaterSpot.com but asked the question here for a faster response

I have the 65809 and Larry Proud said I would be able to fix the red push using the I2C cable.

Heh, here's a newbie question.

What's the difference between i and p? I have like 480i and 480p and I can't tell the difference between them. I thought they stood for Interlace and Progressive, but I'm probably wrong. And how can I tell the difference between them?

i == interlaced

p == progressive

You can tell the difference in them because when you press info, it will tell you 480p, 480i, or 1080i.

What else do you want to know? There aren't any scanlines to compare since the TV will scale any 480i signals to 480p (assuming you don't have an earlier one that does 960i too). The progressive image gets rid of any upconversion artifacts (such as stair steping on angles), so it will appear a little sharper.
