The image is other wise fine but for the yellowing in the center. Any ideas on what it could be . Thanks

Sounds like your blue polarizer is going out. very common with LCD projectors.

yellow projector

So does that mean I can replace the blue and leave the others alone? Also will my projector die quickly or can it last a while?
Thanks

Yes you can only replace the Blue Polarizer. On a LCD PJ there is usually 6 polarizers. 3 IN Polarizers (one for each color...RGB) and 3 OUT Polarizers (again, one for each color...RGB). The blue polarizer that usually goes bad is the BLUE IN Polarizer.

It is usually a fifteen minute or job to replace the polarizer.

Here is a thread on replacing the blue polarizer on a sanyo plv-z1.

I do not know where you can get a blue polarizer for your Sony PJ. You can try Tritronics Inc..

Hope this helps.

Jerry, while it's not projector with issues... I just want to say how nice it is to hear from someone who actually has a clue responding and offerring up excellent information on a real technical, inside the machine, issue.

Thanks for a couple of great responses - I will try to remember this stuff should my LCD ever have an issue.
