Need help with a SONY trinitron

Bought a 21"SONY Trinitron last week for my Jp Mega Drive and although it looks pretty good the screen is out of line due to the TV being set up for PAL at the factory. I need to put it into service mode and make adjustments so that its all in the correct size.

If you look at the picture you will see a black line down the right hand side and also the bottom of the screen is chopped of a little. Im guessing i just need to move it to the right and up a little. Anyway the TV did not come with a remote so its impossible for me to put it into service mode.

Im going to buy a remote asap but i also need to know the model no before i do.

Does anyone recognise this set? Attachment 1190

Thanks

Yes, you need to learn the model number which should be found on the back of the set somewhere. You will also need a remote to get into the service mode (most Sony TV remotes will work). Google the model number + service mode to find how how to get in. Hopefully there is relevant information about that set on the web. Most settings won't stick unless you press MUTE and then ENTER to overwrite the previous setting while still in service mode, at least on newer TVs.

It doesent have a Model Number on the back :( just a bit of glue where the sticker used to be :mad:

Ouch! That sucks! I can't understand why someone would want to remove that.

I know, I herd you can 'Force NTSC mode' not sure though. But anyway i think they probably took the sticker of when cleaning it or something..........

I dont expect it to last long to be honest as it only cost me £20
