[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 50836, member: 517"] Yip, Robert_E is right, then it's 0000 to enter the advanced menu. It's a bit of a bugger though. Entering the service menu resets all the TV's menu settings. You need to be careful with it though, it's not as innocuous as you might think. There are auto calibration menus in the service menu that will seriously stuff up your set if you try enter them, they're easy enough to spot though, they have "Success" written next to them. Although the service menu is far easier to understand than the cryptically labeled Sony CRT service menus I'm used to, you don't have the saftey net of simply being able to switch off the set to return to the previous settings. There's no saving, if you make a mistake, that's it, no going back. Luckily it's not like the old days where you HAD to go into the service menu to switch of SVM, dynamic contrast and what not, these days they're right there in the regular menu (the SM doesn't seem to have a CMS either). I've decided just to leave the set alone, it's close enough for my father's purposes and I know he's not really comfortable with me messing about in there anyway. [/QUOTE]
