My projection TV is fucked up

Every so often it will do this. I'm guessing the red projector is fucked, since there is a bright red line across the middle and the top half is blue/green. It gets annoying when I'm trying to play Time Crisis 2 and I can't distinguish which enemies are red dudes that are expert marksmen. It usually goes away after a little while on its own, though. Looked into parts and the red projector costs $300-400! Ouch! I'll be buying a new LCD or plasma later next year though, so I can live with it for now.

Nope, the Guncon2 has two buttons on it for crouching. I love the sniper levels in TC3. So much fun.

the pedal is the best part, I've almost bought an arcade unit more than once just because that game is fun as shit.

I'd love to buy the arcade unit of that sniper game. I forget the name of it, but it has the huge gun with the scope that works. Always ran to that game first at Gameworks.

I'm not up on RPTVS, but isn't there some sort of button or menu selection which allows you to align all the lamps?
I thought this was something you had to do every now and then with those TV's....

It's not an alignment issue.

15 years? Thats about all the lifespan you can expect from a projection set before they start needing repairs anyway.
