Sony KF-60XBR800 Manual page 32

With this LCD TV, you are not modifying or adjusting the positioning or alignment of
the LCD panels. You are not adjusting or increasing the intensity or heat of the light
bulb. You are hopefully not stupid enough to turn off or disable the fans -- which
COULD cause heat damage to the TV. You are not moving any parts or physically
adjusting the focusing mechanism -- if you notice bad focus or LCD
alignment/convergence under your warranty period, it's TV replacement time, not "do
Service Menu tweaks" time. This TV has no burn-in issue, so nothing you can do can
damage images or phosphors when you adjust color and brightness and gamma and
input settings, etc., as far as I know.

Also, Sony sold me and everyone else the Service Manual without prequalifying us or
restricting it for sale to authorized and certified repair persons or technicians.
I am no lawyer, but I would be a- hootin' and a-hollerin' and waving the above
statements in the face of my salesperson if they refused a legitimate repair based on
an attempt to void the warranty because we, as users/owners, had entered the Service
Menu.
(9) I have an interlaced DVD player now, thinking of getting a progressive scan. Is
there a large noticeable difference between the two modes? The main difference is not
interlaced/progressive on this set. The big differences are going to be SMPTE level
accuracy, MPEG decompression artifacts, S/N ratio and chroma delay.
(10) why doesn't Sony ship the set tweaked if it makes such difference? I'm sure it
would help move a lot more product off the showroom floor (default Vivid mode is
horrible)? Don't know, maybe marketing. This kind of thing happens with most TVs.
(11) When I try to set Cinemotion and DRC it will not let me into Advanced Video
on Video 5 (DVD) or Video 7 (HD200). It will let me do it on Video 6 (XBOX). What
am I doing wrong? You cannot make Advanced Video settings if the input is receiving
a Progressive signal -- either from a DVD player or from an HD broadcast. The
Progressive signal overrules/disables the Advanced Video options. If you feed/send it an
Interlaced DVD signal, you can access the Advanced Video options. However, after
making the changes or adjustments, I don't know if they "stick" in those changed settings
or if feeding it a progressive signal again overrides Advanced Video to some preset or
predetermined settings or if all such settings are completely ignored when receiving a
progressive signal and aren't a factor at all. That's my understanding of this. I have yet to
