How to get into the service menu for my TV?
« on: September 05, 2005, 03:18:02 pm »
It's a 4-year-old Sony KV 27542, 27".  I tried the various suggestions found by Google:

- PWR OFF, DISP, 5, VOL +, PWR ON
- PWR OFF, DISP, 5, PWR ON
- PWR OFF, hold "channel + -", while powering on

None of these gets me into the serviece menu.

There doesn't seem to be any recessed switch on the rear of the TV either.

Thanks for any help.

On closer inspection, I believe the model number is actually KV-27S42

Huh?  That's just the owner's manual.  TV/Video just switches between inputs.  I want access to the super-secret void-your-warranty abandon-hope-all-ye-who-enter-here service menu.
