Hi,

I just purchased a Panasonic PV-27DF64 DVD/VHS combo TV. However, the
image is really distorted and I think I need to adjust the pincushion
on my set. Does anyone know how to enter the "service mode" on this
model?

I have tried the Remote Method
In SET-UP icon, set antenna to CABLE
In TIMER icon, set sleep timer to 30
Exit menus and tune to channel 124
Adjust volume to 0
Press volume down (VD) on control panel and red 'CHK' will appear in the upper left corner
To toggle between Serviceman and Aging Modes press Action and VD on the control panel


and the other method

Set the Bass to maximum position, set the Treble to minimum position
Press the Reveal on the remote control and at the same time press the Volume on the customer controls at the front of the TV, this will place the TV into the Service mode
Press the RED/GREEN buttons to step down/up through the functions
Press the YELLOW/BLUE buttons to alter the function values
Press the STORE button on the preset panel after each adjustment has been made to store the required values
To exit the Service Mode, press the Normalization button


but they don't seem to work as I guess they are for the older (TX)
models. Does anyone know how I can enter the "service mode" in my set
and configure the pincushion? Any help here would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Rohan

I think you would be ill advised to try to "adjust" what may be a
component failure in you new "just purchased" PV-27DF64. If I were
you, I would immediately RETURN it for a replacement unit or a
different model that has passed your scrutiny.

Agreed!!, Or call Panasonic in New Jersey and ask them how much they will
charge you for a complete service manual. Therefore you will know how to
restore it to factory condition after you have totally FUBARD it. If indeed
it is new, and under warranty, take the thing back.

Why is it that people have to be told what to do
with newly purchased electonic products that are
maybe faulty...
Go back to the store and get it replaced.

I'm not sure if Panasonic will sell a service manual to just anyone. I wanted
to buy a service manual for a Panasonic TV, and Panasonic Canada told me they
only sell the service manuals to qualified service technicians, which I am not.
Of course, this was Panasonic Canada (I live in Canada), and in the U.S. it
might be different.
