After changing the settings in the service menu you have to push Mute then Enter on the remote to save the changes.

I show you how to pull up the service menu on 2 different model Sony Trinitron. It is the same for getting into both models using the same method. KV-13M42 and kv-20fs100

    To do a factory reset from the service menu press 8 then enter Search for a forum with this title "Sony WEGA Trinitron CRT TV service menu Tips, Tricks and settings suggestions"

    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!
  • @Malcoladdin
    Your videos have been a lifesaver. Thanks so much for making these!
  • This was INSANELY helpful for my trinitron, thank you so much. Subbed and liked!
  • Just tried this on my Sony KV-27FS12 and it worked! Display, five, volume+, power! Thanks!

    Good on you for making this video available Joe. Really useful content.
  • @krackerjackism
    Damn you came in clutching. This fixed my whole emulation rig
  • @rickeyslake
    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👍
  • Just need to order a remote it seems, but it looks like this guide will help me with my KD27FS170's bad geometry. Thanks in advance!

    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
  • @teiitomax
    Thank you I follow your guide and I was able to fix my geometry problems
  • @CuppaKofe
    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

    A PAL TV can handle NTSC, but not the other way around.
  • @schtitt
    you saved my ass man, great vid TVs lookin PERFECT now.
  • 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 ✌🏻

    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.

    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.
