Panasonic PV-27DF64 "service mode"?

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

and the other method

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

 

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.
