Default Zenith TV

What do need to get into the service menu for? If you have a bad vertical
circuit for example, & you "tweak" the hieght, or linearity, you will foul
it all
up. Make sure you KNOW you have an EEPROM/Micro, data problem.
Anyway, push and hold menu button until it vanishes.. Very quick push
9-8-7-6 enter.. The basics are on the first page, if you want page 2 select
factory mode change to 1 and the full setup appears.. When your all thru
set the clock, or make sure you turn factory menu back to 0.. I find it
easier
to set the clock...

Default Zenith TV By Fletchersite.com

FROM: Fletchersite.com

a.. Sit in front the TV, you will need to be able to access keys on the
remote and the TV at the same time. Turn the TV "ON"

a.. Turn the volume all the way down to 0.

a.. Press and hold the TV's front panel volume down button, and then press
and hold the remote's "9" button for about a second.

a.. The service mode will appear. \

-or-

a.. Press "MUTE" on the remote.

a.. Press "MUTE" on the remote again, but this time continue to press
"MUTE".

a.. While still pressing down on "MUTE", press the "MENU" button on the TV
front. Release the "MUTE" button. You should now have an S (for service
mode) displayed in the upper right corner.

a.. Pressing MENU again should bring up the first service option Pressing
the Channel Up/Down keys brings up the different service options. Pressing
the Volume Up/Down keys changes the associated HEX value.

a.. One you have entered the service mode, you can bring up the various test
screens by pressing the "TV/VIDEO" button. For example, to minimize screen
non-linearities, press the channel down key until PARA appears on the
screen, with the associated default value (this is the parabolic adjustment
option).

Then, bring up the cross-hatch pattern by repeated pressing of the TV/VIDEO
button. You can then use the volume Up/Down buttons to change the PARA
settings, this should cause the grid to bow in (concave) and out (convex).
Adjust until the grid is the most linear.

The numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 jump to different items. 9 displays SELF CHECK

The number 7 displays a grid. There's a blinking cursor in the upper left
corner. The numbers 2,4,6,8 move the cursor. 3 cycles the colors (RGB), 5
stops the cursor from blinking, then when you push 2,4,6,8, you are
adjusting the convergence at that point for the selected color. Pushing 7
again gives you a "warped" grid for a few moments. Pushing 7 again removes
the grid from the screen.

If you're attempting to adjust color or geometry errors, you'll need the
Video Essentials DVD, Laser Disc or some other source of test material.
