Hello everybody,

recently I ran into an issue which required me to adjust some settings in my TV's service menu and that made me realize what a hassle it can be to track down that code for a specific model, especially since the service manuals weren't handed out to the end users back in the day. (And especially if you want to avoid some shady sites on the web that claim to offer the manuals for money).

I'll start with the Sony Trinitron KV-29ls60e whose manual I found.
Does anybody happen to have the codes for the Philips Models 28PT7128/12 and 28PT4457/01?

Philips 28PT4457 is chassis L01.1E so maybe this one will work:

Says to key in "062596" followed by OSD/STATUS button. It's the same for 28PT7128

Quite often when you can't find manual for a particular model, it's good to look for its chassis number, if you know it.

It's a nice idea to collect some codes, but the number of differnet models can be bewildering. Probably just best list some common ones per manufacturer, they are usually interchangeable (like the [DISP], [5], [VOL+], [PICTURE] for Trinitrons)

It worked with the 28PT7128/12!
Thank you so much!

Late last week I learned of this service menu stuff for consumer CRT's. Vertical top and bottom was clipped in half before, now I see all the scores, insert coins, power meters and lives left. Anyway......

JVC AV-27530

Press sleep on remote to display "sleep timer 0 min." on screen.
While that is still on screen, from the remote press "video status" and the "display" buttons at same time.
Menu gives further instructions in the prompt.


*edit* Added pic of my before and after results. On my set the horizontal width in service menu had no effect, bet that is handled by a width coil internally. Also that curl in the upper left, being a 2004 unit I suspect that a cap job is in its future.


good day.
