Hi all,

Abotu an year ago I posted some information about a funny "T" code I found on my Sony TV (European model KV-E2541B, SW v3.45 23/8/93), still here under
[Link: remotecentral.com]

At the time I looked for discrete on codes. Anyway, I found a very exciting site about TV synchronization settings that describes this TT-mdoe as well, reachable by certain TV-switches instead of remotes, see [Link: members.accessus.net] (the site also offers a lot of other exciting info in this area).

I know it is a bit OOT, but might still be interesting for some to know... the TT-code allowed me to recalibrate my TV (I got a vertical size and shift problem over the years). When I activated TT01 and pressed "Menu", I did not get any special menu, just the same one I usually get. But what I never tried earlier was selecting the "Demo" entry in this menu (last item). "Demo" usually just showed some TV-features, probably for TV demonstrations in shops. But when I activated "TT01", the Demo menu item switched to a submenu with the items

Init
CXA 1587
CXD 2018
TDA 9145
LXA 1526
TDA 6612
CX 7948a
PIP
Megatext

And these funyn lookign items allowed to change a lot of things. CXA 1587 for example had the vertical-shift-and-size-switches. Intersting is also the "Megatext" entry, that allows to change 124 8-bit-wide registers (which I did not, of course.. I have no idea what tehy mean :-). Does anybody know more about this, maybe there's a service manual available somewhere?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

North American Sony TVs have a special key combination to enter the service menu, where you'll get dozens and dozens of cryptic 3- and 4-letter codes... without a service manual, many of them are impossible to understand. But a lot, such as HPOS, VPOS, HSIZ, VSIZ are self-explanitory... you'll probably need to find someone with a service manual to decrypt yours.

For this unit service mode code , try looking for at http://tvservicemenu.blogspot.com
You ask to admin at [Link: facebook.com] for more help, you can get service menu as u need via email.
Good luck my friend.
