I just got this Sony KP-51HW40 projection tv so I don't know anything about it.
The problem is that the red is not sharp. When I do the auto focus for the convergence there is a red cast around the white convergence x in the center of the screen. On the sides and the top of the screen there are boxes which appear which I believe to be the color of the tube which the set is working with at the time. The green and blue boxes are crisp. The red boxes are blurry.
The standby light is flashing 5 times which I think is an error code of some sort.
I am looking for a service manual for the tv or help in correcting the issue. If you have a manual that you can send me I would appreciate it or a link to a download.
If you have a list of the error codes on the light, which I hope to find in the manual, that would be appreciated as well.
Any help is appreciated. I have spent the last couple of days on the web searching and haven't had any luck.
TechLore has a whole article about Sony TV Error codes. Should be a good start for you:

Thanks for the code link.
I just found a free download for the service manual. For others that might be interested, here is the address of the download: http://manuals.electromaniacs.com/file.php?id=22343
The tv has two error codes: 5, 8
5)White balance failure (Not balanced)
Probable causes
Detected symtoms
• CRT cathode current detection reference pulse
8)High voltage error
Probable causes
• T8005 is faulty. (D board)
I am not sure what I am doing so any advice or constructive comments are welcome.
