SONY TV SERVICE TIPS 
 SONY KV35S26
CHROMA PROBLEM
Unit has random chroma phase shifting. The tint will vary radically. NTSC color bars are not stable. "Barber Polling" effect of colors on bars.
SOLUTION
Look very close to the connection s to IC351(4) This the Chroma AFDC filter. Components R354, C355, C355 are in the AFCFIL circuit. It is possible the trouble is a Jungle IC but Before replacing it is recommended to check the aforementioned components first. Note: when checking the components it was found that C366 has glue touching each end of the device. The glue effectively changed the value of the device. Cleaning the glue and reinstalling the device corrected the problem.

CLOSED CAPTION PROBLEM
No closed caption on premium channels
SOLUTION 
Needs to set the ID codes to the following ID0=25, ID1=19, ID2=47, ID3=0, ID4=27, ID5=3, ID6=0, ID7=0. If these are OK then need to replace the IC001 with an upgraded version per bulletin 329R1 Original generic is CXP85640-004S, the new generic is CXP856P40S-1

COLOR BANDS
Unit has horizontal banding of purple and red at top of screen. If the color was reduced the banding would disappear. Color bar did not have a normal appearance.
SOLUTION
Resistor R354 was not soldered in correctly. The resistor is in the Color AFC circuitry. It had a .15 ms ripple on it causing a phase shift in the chroma in the first 4 to 5 inches on the picture. Problem was caused by a glue used to secure the surface mounted resistor. The glue prevented a good connection of the resistor to the pad. Cleaning the glue away and resoldering corrected the symptom.
