My best guess is the AccuColor system in your CTC53 must be badly misaligned, as the color distortions you mention with the AccuColor function on seem incredible. However, that's probably why most people didn't use the auto-color correction systems in TVs that had them; they probably figured (and rightly so) that they could get a much better picture, with accurate colors, by adjusting the color controls manually.
