Default Need GE / Thomson Manual 27GT616

I am looking for a Thomson Consumer Electronics / GE television
manual for a GE branded model 27 GT616. Unit has on the back a label
that it was
manufactured in 1998.

Googled and found several services which claim to have both hard copy and
downloadable PDFs of many manuals for sale for a fee, but none have this
particlar manual.

The following sites had no manual for this product:

ESI
http://www.eserviceinfo.com/newfiles/new_5900.html

Service Manuals.Net
http://www.servicemanuals.net/?gclid...FQFgYQodxwx8NA

Both the GE and Thomson sites are dead for su[pport, thugh GE refers to
a Jasco
site which has a phone number for support. Phones are unanswered as its
the
weekend, and will reopen Tuesday as they are closed Moday for Columbus
Day in the U.


Anybody here have a source for this manual?

Thank you.

Possible you may want to post any actual diagnostics, and symptoms you have
encountered. There are many very good techs using this N/G that can assist
you but thay need from you more than just a request tof service literature.

Thanks, thats a good suggestion.

Fortunately, right now, I am not having any apparent significant
performance
issues with the set.

One annoying thing with it is that it insists on defaulting
to French as the menu / setup language. I have reset the menu, twice, to
English. It still defaults to French when I open the menu.

I recently was given the set and it is going into a spare bedroom. AFIK,
it has
always been in use in the US since it was purchased new by my middle kid,
and it should not be "speaking" French in the menu.

It did not come with the manual(s), but the price was certainly "right".
I am probably a little anal, but I'd rather find and
obtain the documentation now rather than wait until I really need it when
something does go wrong. That little "glitch" in the menu language default
makes me think there may be other issues lurking.

Thanks for your suggestion.
