| Hi Jouni that's great. And I've already found the procedure now. It is the same method that you described. However, I bought the TV as ex-rental and lo and behold, the 'VOL+/-' buttons are missing on the TV itself.!! AARRGGH
Will I be able to access the service mode 1 another way or will I never be able to access the service mode now? Typical luck for me - lol Craig * double post - had not logged in * |

| Have you tried adjusting the picture from your pc's display card driver settings?
I think you can get to service mode of your Panasonic TV same way as many other Panasonic TVs. Download some other TX-model service manual (e.g. PX10), there is the procedure to get to the menu. Goes like this: In Sound menu: Set BASS to max., set TREBLE to min position. Exit with TV/AV. On TV: Open command compartment and set volume mode with 'F' button. Press ' Index ' on remote (Reveal for some other models) and at the same time press ' -/V ' (Volume down) in compartment on TV. You should be in Service Menu 1. (In fact you should press and hold the Index button on remote a split second before you press -/V button. Point the remote towards the IR window on TV! Sometimes it does not work at once. Practice the sequence) To step Up/Down in Service Menu press RED/GREEN buttons. To alter the values press YELLOW/BLUE buttons. To save altered values press ' STR ' in compartment before you move on. If you move on, without Storing new entered value, the old setting stays. To exit Service mode press ' N ' (Normalize) on remote. |

| I found a 'service' related doc (pdf) here (Panasonic TX-25MD1):
//www.eserviceinfo.com/downloadsm/4141/Panasonic_tx-25md1.html[/url] But, I don't think that the document actually tells you 'how' to get into service mode. Could someone check for me as I'm a complete novice, but need to change the horiz/vert pos/size of my screen as it's hooked up to my PC and the edges of the display overscan (need to reduce). Many many thanks in advance for any help Craig |
