Today my daughter decided she wanted to play with my Colecovision racing wheel so I went to get it set up. To my surprise I was greeted with a really snowy picture and then as the game level screen comes up the video cuts in and out quickly. I tested the console on my HDTV and it was fine so now I know it's my Trinitron. I suspect something with the TV tuner inside but I have no clue where to start with something like this. Model no is KV-32FS100 and here is a link with video demonstrating the problem, any help or ideas appreciated to the utmost:buttrock:

Found a setting in the service menu called FSC, set the value to 1 (0-1 scale) picture came in perfectly
If anyone knows what that setting is I'm curious to know

Try toggling the air/cable function in the TV. Try all the channels.

No change in behavior. I'm contemplating just upgrading all my RF consoles to composite, but I would like to get the TV tuner in working shape. Still looking for suggestions as to what could be malfunctioning
