I'm glad you care about this stuff and are engaged with your channel, retro gaming thrives on its community. Anyway, your video here is an awesome resource, I often find it more helpful to see something done than to merely read about it.
@@charoleawood exactly, I try to make as many videos just showing what ever I know. You got to preserve the knowledge. Happy gaming
yeahh thank you both for these amazing infos!!!
@@mtj37 you're welcome
Thank you, not only did I have some warped geometry I managed to fix but also fixed my overscan issues, it was either cutting the top or bottom off mostly, but I needed to lower my horizontal size a tad too. Really helpful. So glad the trinitron I found had the remote!
Just tried this on my Sony KV-27FS12 and it worked! Display, five, volume+, power! Thanks!
Your welcome
Your videos have been a lifesaver. Thanks so much for making these!
You're welcome, I am glade to help.
Hey bud, HUGE thanks for making this simple. I got a sony remote in today and just fixed the horizontal position and removed red push. Worked and made my game look amazing
You're welcome, so happy to help out. I made a second video explaining the service menu a little more along with using the 240p test suit withmy Sega Genesis. Happy gaming!
It's been a while but what did you do specifically? My KZ-27FS120 has terrible red, it bleeds everywhere and it just looks awful. The RDRV and RCUT settings don't seem to be helping.
Hey i have the same problem with horizontal pos, i can’t seem to get it to save however when i fix it. Did you simply power off the tv to save?
@@spideyvision806same issue here. Did you ever figure out how to save your changes?
To save in service menu: muting then enter. That writes the changes to memory.
Damn you came in clutching. This fixed my whole emulation rig
That's awesome!
Good on you for making this video available Joe. Really useful content.
You're welcome
This was INSANELY helpful for my trinitron, thank you so much. Subbed and liked!
Thank you, so happy it helped you.
My Trinitron has started to show some really bad bowing on top left and bottom right frame. Thanks for the info, will make fiddling around a lot easier, especially on how critical taking notes is :P
Thank you, here is a second video I made explaining the service menu in a little more detail.

I love you. I have a different model but i was experiencing major issues. Didn’t think it would work since my tv has a vcr player connected to it, but it still worked good as new now👍
Awesome. HAPPY GAMING!
Sharp as always. You know it
KV-27S42 here
Tried "Display, 5, Volume+, Power" and it just turns on the TV as usual.
I need to make specific color adjustments, and I know that's an option in the service menu. I just don't understand why this is not working😩
Edit: figured it out. I forgot that I needed to HOLD Power down. I was just pressing it. And thanks for the video man. Super helpful and straight to the point on everything.
That is awesome. I am glade you were able to get it working. I never heard of holding th power button down. I will let other people know. Happy Gaming
@@JoeRetroWorldYeah, it's been a while since I had to mess with this set, but I remember reading where somewhere else online that you may have to for these models or something?
It's been forever since I read about it, so I may be getting something wrong. But that worked today, haha!
Might just have to hold it a little bit longer for it to register or something when powering on? Idk. But that got it to work lol.
I think from what I've read that "DEF" in the service menu means "Deflection", not "Definition".
I think? I'm no expert.... ;)
Another excellent video, thanks!!!!
Thank you
Thanks man! This helped so much!
Thank you for the information Joe! Now i cant stop tinkering with the settings trying to get the perfect geometry 😂 It seems damn near impossible on these flat screen trinitrons though.
Lol, it's a rabbit hole I wish I never found. Those flat-screens will never be perfect. They still look awesome! I had 3 at one time, now I am down to my Toshiba 36a43, Ikegami TM20-90RH Master Monitor, Viewsonic E655 Crt Monitor and a Panasonic PV-C2023. Plus my Hand Made Sony Playstation 2 Crt Television. Happy gaming and Happy New Year's
Thank you I follow your guide and I was able to fix my geometry problems
Awesome, Happy gaming
Recently got a Trinitron fv300 and I’ve had a Panasonic Tau for a few years and wanted to adjust the service menus on both this last week. Your videos were a huge help! Just wanted to say thank you ✌🏻

I have a trusurround trinitron. Probably around 30in. I have to check model # but it's too heavy to move at the moment 😆
I wanted to try to adjust some stuff. It has a faint white line you can only see on dark screens, on the left side of the tv.
you saved my ass man, great vid TVs lookin PERFECT now.
You're welcome
PAL TVs work fine on NTSC. You would need a converter. We had that done in the 90s.
I can just plug in a 60fps console in my PAL Trinitron and it works. No converter needed.
Hello 👋🏽 question. I have a trinitron KV-27FS17, and I noticed I'm not getting any volume. Where in the settings could I adjust it? Thanks in advance.
If you have a GE universal remote like I do, just use the "Info" button in lieu of the "Display" button.
Hi!
I have no issue accessing and playing with the service menu on my KV-G21S2, but am unable to save the changes as my remote doesnt have a mute or enter button, i am pretty certain its the original remote, (RMT-V204A) but havent been able to find a solution
I have the same Sony Trinitron and the image has this kind of shacking to it, is there any way to fix that?
Hi I have a Sony tv model kv-xf29m33 the service manual is off on the tv how do I re adjust the picture on the tv
Hey bro do you know the maximum video resolution of sony trinitron kv-j21mf2!!???

Hi I have Sony Trinitron 14 inches tv. It is not displaying the menus, volume up down screen or any thing for changing settings. What can I do to make it appear?
I recently bought the KV-13RT24 model for the smaller trinitron and the tv shows VIDEO on the right, how would i get rid of that?
You should be able to just use the remote control and push info or display to remove it.
My Saturn is using the s-video slot in my Sony Trinitron and i noticed the bottom part of the screen is missing a small part of the display on what should be there. Its a slight inconvenience and is noticable. This menu, which i didn't know existed, should help. The rest of the video outputs look fine just the s-video with the Saturn is off centered.
A PAL TV can handle NTSC, but not the other way around.
This is grossly incorrect
Interesting. I've recently been trying to play some shmup games that were only released in Europe, and a few of them are all wibbly wobbly when I start them up. I can make out the words "change video mode" but is it possible to change the video mode from NTSC to PAL? Sony WEGA Trinitron btw
@@bartdog59 If you're going to give a reply like that, then also explain why the original comment was incorrect and what is the truth then. Otherwise your comment is useless and pointless!
@Moshugaani the truth is that it can't? There isn't more explaining than that.... a PAL TV cannot take NTSC, it just ends up outputting in black and white.
So suck my dick
Great video. I just recently picked up a Sony Trinitron Wega KV-36FS16, and I have a problem where blacks are crushed due to what appears to be an internal feature that probably works well on movies but not on video games. Do you know how to turn off the “auto white balance” and “dynamic picture processor”? I’m not sure if these are the settings that are causing the problem for sure, but I think they might be.
I looked threw the service menu and can not find where to turn off those settings. I had that problem with my Panasonic. Just way to dark with game play. I had to go into the service menu and raise the low contrast, mid contrast, high contrast settings. Then do the same for the brightness settings as well. This made the over look way better. Devil may cry games where so dark I could not see the game along with Metal Gear solid game. Don't miss with the colors settings just the low, mids mids and high of brightness and contrast. This should help you. Let me know what you find and what TV model you have.
Edit: I see your model number, sorry. Ya, it should be the same as mine. So what I told you should work.
Joe's Retro World thank you for the information! I’ll look into that.
@@foxmusic5614 you're welcome . Let me know what you find.
Joe's Retro World okay, I will. By the way, do you know when Sony started to do this extra processing on their Trinitron TVs?
@@foxmusic5614 here is some great information about Sony Trinitron Wega models. It started in 1998. Then in 2002 they started with the auto white balance and progressive scan on they wega models.

Hi Joe, thanks for the excellent guide on using the service menu. I tried this on my KV-27FS100, and sure enough, service mode comes right up! One question for you though: how do I switch the TV to component input? My one comes with RF, three AV inputs (inputs 1, 2, 3), S-Video (also on input 1), and Component (input 4). I only appear to be able to switch between inputs 1, 3, and RF using the "TV/VIDEO" button on the remote. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
www.sony.com/electronics/support/product/kv-27fs100/manuals
This is service manual pdf. Hopefully it can help you figure out. It should change when pushing the tv/video button. Maybe yours needs some kind of signal going in before switching over.
I read the manual, it only says the tv/video button. I am sorry I couldn't help.
@@JoeRetroWorld wow, thanks for the super quick reply! Yeah, I did try hooking up a DVD player and switching that on, but no luck. I’ll try looking at the manual later.
@@piyushkhengar it could be something turned off in the menu. I hope you find the solution. Glade to help any time. Happy gaming

Hello, unconfigure my crt, I can't see the green letters to change the values and the other video inputs don't work either, only video 1, is there any way to factory reset, thanks for your video!
You should be able to just unplug it for 24 hours and it should reset to factory. What model number is your TV? Maybe I can find the service manual so you can read it. It should explain how to factory reset.

Hello, I have the television model KV-29FX30E. I cannot save changes in the geometry service mode configuration. Do you know which button to use to save parameters with the remote?
After changing, push mute it will say write or enter. Then after about 3 seconds it changes. Then push enter. Then it should save after that.
May I ask how to use the front inputs on the silver CRTV? I am unable to get TV Video 1/2 to show up cycling through the inputs. All I get is Satellite, 8mm, video 3 and video 1.
Pushing the input button should work but you say it don't. What's the model number so I can see if it says how.
My Wega Trinitron model is SW29M31, I have pressed button combination [display, 5, vol. up] but the TV keeps turning on after I pressed 5, previous time it let me access the service menu just fine but after that, I cannot turn the service menu on, can you please help me?
Hi I recently got a Sony KV-2135M3. I've tried the method you're talking about but it's not going into the service menu.
When turn off the tv pressing 5 button after display turns the tv on.
Try the information button in place of the 5 button when trying the combination.
I have a WEGA KV-20fv300 with a few issues. It has overscan, the horizontal is set too far to the left and the black background shows up as green. I'm thinking the last one has to do with the black background level retention, though i just want to make sure
The overscan and horizontal position can be adjusted in the service menu. The green color could be a bad capacitor or just that the colors need adjustment in the service menu also. Here is a video I did showing you how to use the 240p test suit to adjust your TV. I hope this helps you out.

Whats this problem will you please explain me
The sound signal mit be a different signal feed that your TV can not decode. My blueray player is not able to decode the new DTS signal. It can read Dolby Digital surround 5.1 just fine but not DTS. This may be what is happening to you. Go check the information menu and see what the sound source says when you push the display or info button on your remote. Let me know.

I am just using my Cell phone Galaxy A20 set to 1080p with HDR on. Sometimes leaving it unplugged for some time resets the settings. There is a link to the service menu manual you can use to see if it they talk about factory reset. I have not read it.
@@JoeRetroWorld Hello and thanks for the reply. I actually tried to set the phone with these settings and it would seem that the photos are very good and now I will try with the videos. Thanks for the tip, I have a Samsung S7 Edge. As for the sony trinitron I think I made a mess by randomly touching the values on the Service menu and I just wanted to understand if there was the possibility of being able to restore them to factory values. I found an INITIAL function where practically the value should return to the initial one but now the image is all folded to one side and I honestly can't figure out how to solve it.

I don't know if you are still answering to this video, but, I have a KV-30HS420 that I can't save the service mode changes on.

You can download the 240p test suit and put it on a disk. You can search on ebay for one , just type it in the search bar.
Is there a spot for tube on hours? Maybe in hexadecimal?
It probably does show in the service menu, I probably didn't notice from not knowing what to look for at the time of making this video. I no longer have the television to check.
Hi!
I have a Sony KV-21FX30E, and I have the problem that the sound is too loud even on the lowest setting.
Do you know if it's possible to change the loudness in the service menu somehow?
It looks like you can adjust the sound in the service menu. Here is a link to the service menu. It looks like page 19 section 4 of the manual explains how to get into the service mode. Be sure to read the whole manual before adjusting it. This model is different from mine.

Dude I own both a Sony triniton HD with HDMI input and Hpillips with the same inputs, but they both have a problem of over scalling mstly at the sides. So at least with the Sony one, can you tell me wich values I should move to recover all that overscalled image to the sizes?
The HSIZ is for how wide the image is. Just please take a picture of the settings before changing anything.
@@JoeRetroWorld thanks man, I have some experience with this, I learned by my own. When I bought this, HD sony Tv, the seller doesn't used the HDMI input cause the image was disorted as hell, it was like curve directly to hell at the right side. Well I learned how to enter to the service mode and I fix it. I already used the HSIZ, but for some reason both sizes are always cutted. is like just in HDMI the image is oversized to the sides , and trying to use HSIZ, is like crushing the image but the limits at both sizes are still the same. Maybe I need to found some "zoom out" option first and then HSIZ.
Am I screwed? I bought a 27 in Sony Trinitron and it didn’t come with the remote. Am I still able to somehow get a remote still somewhere online and it will work?

Didn’t work for me unfortunately. I have an older model (KV-1380R) with the original remote. I read over the service manual but didn’t find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
That's a old TV. That model most likely has potentiometer on the inside of the TV. You will have to take the back off and adjust horizontal and vertical adjustments manually with a small flathead screwdriver. I would look up videos explaining how to and what they look like. You don't want to hurt yourself or break the TV. That is a cool TV with the big stereo speakers on the side.
@@JoeRetroWorld Thanks for the info! Im a little nervous opening up the TV for both of those reasons but I will definitely do some research and see if its something I think I can do. And yeah I love the look of this TV and the sound from the side speakers is awesome!
@@chrisconiglio8236 so glade I could help. If I had a TV to show you how I would. I try to make as many videos I can showing how do stuff like this.

I tried to connect my Playstation 2 PAL by AV cable, but its black and white color(yeah, I know that region thing). My model sony kv 14m1b, in instruction it says it supports all NTSC, PAL, SECAM. Should I change (if it possible) tv to PAL from that menu? I just dont get why I got tv, which was made in Europe and it got(I suppose) NTSC region in it
Also, I tried it from RGB. It was better, but it has slightly yellow color, which replace most of blue colour in picture. It actually playable, but I can't fully enjoy games because of that yellow color. It just on every frame of any game, making my eyes hurt😅
Im trying to resolve this problem, because I want to buy tv from person, but we can't make deal for sure because of that problem. I'll stay in touch anyway, If I could resolve that
P. S.
I have also modded PS2, I think it will work for sure, but I also have pirate copy of Sega and nintendo console, which Im sure will not work with normal colour's
The tv should change automatically. You will need to test your ps2 on another television just to be sure it works correctly.
@@JoeRetroWorld @JoeRetroWorld wow bro, really shocked how fast you answered😅really appreciate that, thank you.

@@Droopy_Snake things are good for me. Thanks for asking. That tv might be bad.
I checked tv with my moded ps2, av works fine, but I just recently checked, that it NTSC version of ps2 I have,so, by some reason PAL ps2 just works with black-white color , or maybe I should change something in settings
Sega worked fine, even its pirate PAL version.
RGB still works with yellow filter, maybe bad cable, but I played with that cable months ago, when my other trinitron worked well.
Seller told me that its brand new, maybe I can somehow check tv information of time how long it had been working in total?
Hi, please help me, mine has conponent input behind, but doesn apear pn screan just the normal input, what can i do? Thanks
Have you tried multiple cords?
@@JoeRetroWorld yes, i bought one cable with 5 cables for ps2, on other newer tvs it works, but it is strange that mine wega has tgis input but no channel for it, can i unlock this chanel in this secret menu that you show?
@@arraurrul the component input should be video 3 or 4 input on video/tv button selection. Also did you put your ps2 on YPbPr video output?
@@JoeRetroWorld yes, it is number 3, but there is only 2 video channels, i put and nothing happens. I think i should do something to unlock this input, the problem is that i dont have the remote control.
Get on Ebay to find remote. That feed should show, have you tested the input with other devices like a DVD player?
Also disregard the nsfw/"sexy" as the one reddit posts wiki style of guide included for the problem/adjustment of geometry titled as pincushion/hourglass style of issues on screen... for I noticed that and am pretty much positive of that being a made up "abbreviation" for really anything lol just a heads up if anybody was wondering as Ifelt fyi ysk cto anybody wondering.
I picked up a kv27fs120 recently and it’s crazy dim oddly. It’s so dark that even with settings all the way up it’s very hard to see. It’s also from what I can see rather orangey/sepia. Is this fixable or should I find another one? I’m not great at opening up/fixing things, nor do I have the tools/knowledge to do so. Any advice?
You should be able to do some brightness change in the service menu. Along with some color adjustments. Here a video I made explaining calibrations of a similar Sony model.

Please help me, I haven't been able to do anything for a month. I connect the Sony Trinitron KV-21T1R Sega Genesis RGB TV to my image is shifted to the left, I can enter the service menu, but no matter how I try, I can't use any buttons to center the image. Why can't I change the values? Help please
I am looking to see if i could find some information. It looks like your television will most likely have potentiometers inside that control horizontal and vertical positions. I did find the service manual you can download and read up on your set. ia804505.us.archive.org/3/items/manual_KV21M1A_SM_SONY_EN/KV21M1A_SM_SONY_EN.pdf
@@JoeRetroWorld спасибо большое, я попробую
Sony waga m93 modal color yallw service mode setting feature ?
There is only red green blue color adjustments.
Do you know how to do this on kv-x2521m ?
I am sorry, I looked everywhere for the service manual but no luck. You can probably ask on Reddit at r/crtgaming for help. I will ask on Facebook to see if anyone knows.
Is it possible to access the service menu of a KV-XG29M30 without the remote?
From the service manual of most models all use the remote to open the service menu. I will look yours up now.
Here is the service manual link for once you get a remote from Ebay.

do the settings reset when you unplug the tv?
Some people say you can unplug to reset the tv but not all models do this.
What is the purpose to go into service menu?
Your fs100 looks way better than mine. My screen is fuzzy especially in the corners. How do I sharpening up the picture? It's very noticeable with text.
So everything looks blurry all the time?
@@JoeRetroWorld yes. It's bad in the corners.
@@Tiknuttle you may need to adjust the yolk. They have videos showing how but use gloves and remember you can die.l touching the wrong part.
@@JoeRetroWorld wow! I can die touching the wrong part. Lol. I'll make sure to discharge the tv and where leather gloves
@@Tiknuttle lol, sounds like a plan. Let me know what happens.
when i press 5 after display the tv turns on instantly (because it thinks i selected the fifth channel). so the combination doesnt work. My Trinitron is KV-2985mt
Some other people had this problem, you will need to read the comments to find the solution. Sorry I cannot remember what they did.
Do you know why mine is not saving my vsize and hsize settings when I turn it off?
After you change everything are you pushing mute button then enter to save the settings before turning it off?
Hi. Any chance to do this with a RM-945 on a Trinitron?
Is that a remote control model number you giving me?
@@JoeRetroWorld yes sir.
