Does anyone know a website or place where I may find out how to enter the service mode on an RCA TV???

My TV is out of warranty, and I can tell the edges are starting to drift a small amount. When I had the TV serviced before, he used the remote to enter a service menu, and he then adjusted the guns, block by block.

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

    Sounds like he did a convergence. Did he pull up a grid on your TV screen and go through and adjust the reds and blues in the corners throughout the grid?

    If so, you can do this via the user menu without having to go into the service menu.


    Peace Out~:D

    Ron- That's the word I was looking for, convergence. No the option is not available to Joe Shmo consumer. Auto-Convergence is but not the grid.

    I found out how to do it from here:

    http://www.keohi.com/keohihdtv/index.htm

    RCA service menu is explained and allows you to adjust all four grids(3Color) for convergence.

    I am going to let the set warm up a little while then get my adjustment shoes on. :)
