Well there had been a lot of speculation following the release of the PX70 range that the service menu could only be reached via a Panny Service Remote. Mainly as the method ofr gaining access that worked on the PX60's and older models no longer functioned, despite still being valid for the US models.
While I can't claim credit for finding the solution (it was pointed out by mat060572 in the Panasonic Viera 37" TH-37PX70" thread via a link that is no ponger working) I thought it deserved a thread of it's own to highlight.
I'm sure there are many out there like myself who are curious and wanted to know exactly how many hours they had racked up.
So here Goes:
Open the front flap:
Hold down the V- Key while pressing "0" on the remote three times in quick succession
And hey presto the first service menu screen should pop up within a couple of seconds.
To exit I just turned off the TV then back on again, all previous settings were retained but then I did not alter anything, just checked the SW versions and hours etc.
Hope thats helpful to a lot of you. Also, I guess this now opens up the possibility of having proper ISF level calibration done for the PX70 range
