Default "ghost" image on Hitachi LCD projector

Does anyone know how to get into the service menu of a Hitachi CP-X430W? It has
a faint double image, apparently in the red channel, and the optical alignment
is correct. The cyan leading ghost image shows up on all screens including OSD
menus. I've seen similar but correctable ghosting problems in other projectors.
Older Sanyo models like the PLC-9000 and other makes such as Boxlight 9600, Eiki
LC-X1 and Proxima 9310 made by Sanyo were "repairable" by getting into the
service menu and changing one data value. I'd hate to toss this Hitachi for such
a fault if it's repairable in that manner. It's out of warranty and Hitachi
doesn't want to talk to me.
