(most models after '94): Turn the TV on. Hold down MENU
and hit POWER and Volume +. Now you're in the service mode, looking at
parameter 0. It will say:
P00 V00
Use the Volume + key to change the value (V number) to 76. This has to be
done before you can do anything else; it's sort of a password.
Once P00 is set to V76 you can use the Channel + and Clannel - buttons
to select from the first 12 parameters. P13 is another password - set
to 77 to get higher parameters. Depending on the model, another one a
couple of dozen parameters up will require a password of 78. This
varies by model but you will know when you have found it because you
won't be able to advance past it.
The first parameter, P01, is probably the quickest and easiest to
work. It is the Horizontal Frequency control. When you select it,
the TV will lose horizontal sync. Turn it all the way down or all the
way up with VOL- or VOL+ and then get out of setup (if the TV hasn't
shut itself off by then) with the power button.
