Hello, Despite being cautioned by all and sundry, I recently browsed through the service menu of my Sony KVT29SF1. As I went, and took careful note of the original settings, in case something went wrong etc etc. Anyway, I soon worked out the settings I wanted to adjust (only the colour, I wanted to tone down the red a few notches), made the change, then went to save them. When I turned the TV back on, there was no TV image whatsoever, a completely black screen with an audio hiss. It isn't that the channels are untuned, they're all tuned appropriately just not showing anything in the TV mode. However, the two video inputs still work. What I *think* I did wrong was this: when going to save the changes, I pressed 'DISPLAY' which showed 'WRITE5060' on screen, instead of 'MUTE' which is just 'WRITE'. I then pressed '0' to save. So obviously I've screwed up big time. Does anyone know if there's an option in the service menu that will restore the TV mode to correct functionality? I will, obviously, appreciate any help I can get. Thanks, Matthew T.
