This is prob a bit off the subject, but I have found out how to switch my big
21" sony telly into service mode. Theres a bucket load of options you can mess
about with, and I was just wondering if anyone knows what
they all are, I found the ones that move the screen left and right & up
and down, and I've seen certain options that seem to refer to PAL/NTSC
compatability.

Oh yea this is how you get your sony telly into service mode.
1. put it into standby
2. on the remote press the ? then 5 then volume up then screen (small white
outline square) within a second of each other.
3. the telly will burst into life & if you've been succesfull you'll have a load
of green writing all over the screen, with TT-- in the corner.
4. from here you press menu, & on my telly I then have to select 1
of around 5 different devices to get to the menu that adjusts the screen.
5. to get out of this mode press menu to get back to the TT-- screen you got
1st, and then enter 00.

6. DISCLAIMER - I've been told that some of the menu options can seriously
DAMAGE YOUR TV if you set them wrong. 
Also there is NO return to default parameters option.
So if you knacker your telly its not my fault

Anyway back to the point, does anyone have any idea what the rest of the options
do or where I can get the info ??

Cheers 


Nick
