Ghosting problems on my Sony Bravia LCD rear projection KDF-50E2010 TV

I have a Sony Bravia LCD rear projection KDF-50E2010 TV connected to a Sharp BD-HP21H blu ray player.
Sound is connected via a digital optical out to my home cinema system.
The problem I have is ordinary DVD's play fine, but when I use a blu ray disc I get picture ghosting, whether outputting via HDMi or composite, can anyone help me?

same model ot TV and same problem, just bought a sony Blue Ray dvd.
I cany understand why the sony centre doesnt warn customers about this. Looking at the threads, its a major problem.

So can I have the fix to enable me to watch blu ray dvds without the need of special glasses to focus properly

Ghosting

Hi. Yes, it is strange that Sony Centres do not warn of this prob. I phoned the Sony TV/ helpline and PS3 helpline- total waste of time and money. The menu solution posted on this site re going into the menu and shifting certain settings from 10 to 11 works- tho I couldn't get it on and called the Sony centre where I had bought my TV and they came out and it worked for them! Cost £30 but at least it has fixed it. To finish- hopeless Sony 'helplines'! Regards, Mo

Hey guys,

Slightly different model but try the following;

Quote:
Ok, firstly, disclaimer.
This "solution" utilises a "service" menu, that only trained engineers should use. You are not one, you are an "end user". So am I, but I paid attention.
Use of this information is entirely at your own risk, you mess up your telly, it's your own silly fault. Don't go messing with stuff in there you don't know about.
Ok.
To bring up the "service" menu, put the TV in standby mode, then press in sequence :
Onscreen Display ( the little screen with the i+ in it )
5 ( channel number 5 )
Volume Up ( upper end of volume button )
Analogue ( middle top button )
The TV should switch on and when it's warmed up, you should see a screen with lots of big green lettering on it.
Press the "menu" button ( middle bottom )
Use the direction dial to move down to "LCD Drivers" and press right on the dial to enter this menu.
Move down to "S H Pos Reg R". It should be "10", change it to "11". ( Left/Right to adjust )
Move down to "S H Pos Reg G". It should be "10", change it to "11".
Move down to "SHPos Reg B". It should be "10", change it to "11". (it's on the next "page", keeping scrolling down the menu)
Press the menu button to drop out of the menus, and the standy button to drop to standby. Switch back on, and hopefully your ghosting will be gone. Mine was, haven't noticed any side effects, seems ok.

The fix worked perfectly for me.
Its been 5 days since the sony shop said they would ring me with a fix, still waiting. Again, cant believe that the sony shop sell items to customers knowing that most will have problems.

I didnt even try to bother with the Sony shops or support line, after reading a few bits online I couldn't be done with the hassle - just thankful that there was a fix on here

Glad you got it sorted tho mate!
