Hi everyone,

I'm going to try to create a single repository for all things "service menu" related.

This will include things like
* How to access them
* What you'll find in there
* What NOT to touch
* Blank templates for printing off and writing down the existing values
* A general description of what the various controls do

But you moderator needs YOU !!!

If you have details of how to access a service menu, or know of a link to a web page detailing such, have details or pictures of any service menus, anything at all service menu related, can you please email them to me at servicemenus@ukrm.co.uk.

Thanks people!

Have a look on here

http://www.calanan.com/panasonic/

and here

http://209.145.176.7/~090/awh/how2adj.html#1

and what is also needed is a good explanation of the terms eg TRAPEZ and so on.

Good luck.

Hi, we get lots of calls from customers who've had Sony DAV-SXXX home-cinema-in-a-box systems upgraded to multi-region. They usually connect to the TV set with an S-video to SCART lead, as the DAV systems don't have RGB or SCART. The problem is that a lot of Sony sets won't accept NTSC on the S-video input so when playing NTSC material the picture is rubbish. There is a setting in the service menu which allows you to turn on 'Auto detect NTSC on Y/C' and this always sorts it out.

We usually direct customers to this rather informative site, even if it is a bit difficult to navigate...

The site gives the whole run-down on the Sony service menus.

Thanks everybody!

Keep 'em coming

Very useful Philips sevice menu website here: http://home.hccnet.nl/m.majoor/
I'll post info on what options mean when I'm near my lovely TV again. (Away from home right now) back in a couple of weeks.

Here's a forum for various service manuals (TV's, VCR's) etc

just found out the service menu code for my 2yr old samsung widescreen w32v64ns

power off the tv with the remote
press 'display' then 'menu' then 'mute' and then power it back on again and it will be onscreen

servicemanual for the sony kv28/32fx66:

happy tweakin'

Good to see the info coming in.

Loads of TV stuff. Bits of projector and DVD stuff.

Including what I can find from going through all the forums (will take a wee bit of time ) I should be able to build quite a good database of how to access service menus and a general "what does this thing do" section.

Once I get that lot up people will be able to let me know whats actually in the service menus (not the actual values but the layout of the menus and the parameters).

Thanks.

Fraggle,
Do you know someone who has a web site or an email address I can post a Panasonic TV 32pf10 manual in pdf format to? The file is over 5mb, but you are more than welcome to it.

Hi colesy,

Just post it to me, a 5mb file is no problem

If I can legally do it I'll put it on my website along with the other stuff.

Just tried the avbove on My Samsung plasma and it workes!

too scaired to change anything though

[Orbitalzone]

I've posted 4 different Panasonic service manuals < HERE >

They are for Z8 chassis, Euro 4, Euro 5, and Euro 7

Covering such TV's as TX21CK1, TX28PK1 and similar to TX28PK10 i think, TX32PF10 and TX32PG50

Does anybody know what are the subcolor and subbrighnest option in the service mode??????

I manage both trying to fix the color excess of the horrible live mode and apparently I did it, but now, I am wondering if I really break the general colour equilibrium or whatever!!!!!!

I think that they are only for the general level of colour and brighnest but in theory is neccessary an oscilloscope.

Receive a PAL colour bar signal.
2. Connect an oscilloscope to Pin 5 of CN003 [A Board].
3. Enter into the ‘Service’ service menu.
4. Adjust the ‘Sub Colour’ data so that the Cyan, Magenta and
Blue colour bars are of equal levels as indicated below.




I can back to the original levels but I think that now is better.

Could anybody post the values of theses items in his set???

Thanx a lot

This is great! I got into the service menu on my Samsung. I changed something and freaked out then I couldn't use 4:3 any longer. But I got it to work again
Does anyone have access to the service manual?

Check 'ere..

HI Nathan .. I tried to get your toshiba service manual file, the link worked but they say the files get deleted after 3 days ,,,,, Just wondered if you could send me the service manual file for my Tosh 42PW23P ... Please ?

Thanks for the help.

tincupuk. I'm uploading the service manual for the 42PW23P now. Give it a hour or so, and check.


I've uploaded the file twice. Look for nathanjones user. I can't seem to find it. Weird.

If you have a FTP server/internet web space then I can upload it to?

Thanks for trying Nathan ,, i seem to have the same problem of not being able to find it !

I dont have any web space but i do have Broadband if u can send it email ? Would be such a help ... thanks again

The file is 25MB big! I don't think I can have a attachment of that size.

Has anyone got a FTP server I can use to upload the file?

Cheers

Nathan I have managed to get some web space but i think it is going to take some time before i can use it ( upto 3 hours i think )

Any way i will let you know how i get on if thats ok ....

It seems me service settings have gone bad and i know the manual has the defaults i thought i would try.

Just wondered also if there was a way of resetting the RPTV back to defaults as a starting point ? Or do you know if the settings on the uk TV's are the same ? Would be so much easier if i could enter the values from a known good set ,, just a thought ..

Thanks

[JIT]

tincupuk and nathan_silly and news on the 42PW23P service manual as i wouldn't mind having a look at it?
