Anyone know how to enter the service menu for this model(should be the same
for any PF model I think)?
It's a good set, but the picture is a bit off-center; shifted to the left
about 1/2 to 1 inch or so. Therefore, it needs to be right-shifted to be
properly centered.
The shift seems most pronouced (closer to one full inch perhaps) when
viewing the DVD player hooked up via the component inputs, but somewhat
less pronouced than that when the DVD player is hooked up via S-Video
cable.
Television program viewing exhibits the "less" pronouced shift. It's most
noticable with a text banner which spans the entire width of the screen. A
small portion of the leftmost letter is off the viewing area.
I also suspect that to make the picture perfect, it needs to be not only
slightly right-shifted, but perhaps the entire viewing area as a whole,
could be "zoomed out" ever so sligtly, but I'd be thrilled with simply a
right-shift correction.
I excahnged the TV for another at the retailer soon after purchase,
thinking it was probably a defective unit, but the new one which I
deliberately chose with higher serial number has the same exact problem,
leading me to believe that for at least this "lot" of TV's (July '03),
they all left the warehouse improperly "tuned".
Here are some specific examples of what it looks like.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, before the screen
aspect ratio of the film becomes 16:9 (when it's still 4:3), in the
introduction with the film company's logo, there are two lines, "New Line"
and "Home Entertainment" towards the bottom of the screen. The "H" on
"Home Entertainment" is partially (maybe 33%) out of the viewing area to
the left.
When watching Fox Sports Net games, where the score banner is displayed
constantly across the top of the screen, the visiting team (1st on the
left) has part of its' 1st letter cut off (like the "N" of NYY, or the "O"
of "Oak" for example).
I've tried a few methods (such as Vol to 0, then simultaneously Mute on
remote and Menu on console) to no avail.
Please post any other methods known.
Thanks
