I have this link to the manual :
http://www.mediacollege.com/equipment/manual/Sony/monitor/pvm2030.pdfLooking thru it, it does apprear the remote doesn't do much. Sadly it looks like the majority of the adjustments need to be done from the front ! AGAIN ..... my major issue is the buttons don't work. I am working now on taking this monitor out of the case.
At that point I am going to see if I can clean the contacts or find a lose wire. That would be the easy solution. I'm such a NOOB..............no other way to say it, I'm a NOOB, and my knowledge of these things are slim.
Of the three monitors I got 2 of them work fine, the picture is good and I'm more then happy with how MAME looks on them. However the two working monitors are very green, one more then then other. I know in this thread it was said I could be able to adjust that from some controls inside. I will indeed look into that.
One of the monitors when displaying WINDOWS seems to always re-size the image on screen/flickr but during game play is fine.
I realize these are older monitors, and all be it they were cabable of displaying a wide array of images at varried quality I'm overall happy. I don't want to be a stickler. I paid a fair price and really cant complain. My only concern is when I see these Lil issues I feel they are going to break down soon ! But (fingers crossed I'm wrong!) and they don't!
They (well two) play and display MAME well and Street Fighter II: Rainbow looks good! End of the day that's what I wanted, however I cant stomach that one is BOTCHED ! So if I need to invest a Lil time and research I will.
I thank you guys all for your help. Any other ideas suggestions let me know.
As is (and let me know if I missed something) :
** When I remove the casing and back I should be able to adjust the alignment ?
IE - this could help to tone down the green and eliminate some of the "colored shadows" I see around text
** Once the casing is removed look for a loose wires in/around the adjustment board. This would be a simple solution and perhaps get my "reset" button working.
