This set is a LCD rear projection HDTV where the picture is developed from an optical engine, bounced off a mirror to the screen assembly. The optical engine uses a mercury vapor lamp to provide a bright white light that shines through lenses and filters to separate the three primary colors (red, green and blue) which then passes through their respective LCD panel where they're combined again and exit the engine through the focus lens assembly.

What happens after time is the blue light heats up the LCD pane and blisters it causing the blue blobs or missing blue making the picture yellowish. The repair requires a new optical engine. After the old optical engine is returned for the $1505.00 core:

Manufacturer   Sony Part Number A-1203-198-A Description BLOCK (IRP) ASSY (R6   List $1,399.99

You should call or email Sony for any assistance in this repair or a deal on a new unit: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=CONTACT

You have a rear projection television so my guess is the color wheel is going out on it. I would call a repair company to confirm.
