Adjusting Pacific TV
I hope this isn't too OT for this group but I know all the real experts here (and I feel at home here!!). I've just bought a second-hand television - a 20-inch Pacific ptv5103 - and the picture is too big for the screen. I've got the back off and the only two adjustments I can see are marked "focus" and "screen". I can't see anything like vertical or horizontal height adjustments. Any hints, please? |

Most reasonably modern TV's don't have any physical internal adjustments apart from the two HV ones you mention. The TV will almost certainly have a hidden service menu which can be accessed using the remote control. I can't find any references to your model of TV though on the internet... Regards, Steve |

I have a .PDF which details how to get the Pacific PTV5102 into service mode, may be worth a shot? Drop me a line at news at hellraiser dot org dot uk if you're interested. Hellraiser............ |

Thanks for all the replies but I am now more confused than ever. My TV doesn't have a "menu" button, the remote doesn't have an "OSD" button and "CPU" - which chip is that? However I will take up your kind offer, hellraiser, and have emailed you. |

Is this a widescreen or a 4:3 set? If it is widescreen, you are feeding it with 16:9 anamorphic source aren't you? -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |
