Exiting The Service Mode - Panasonic CT-20R6E Service Manual

This Receiver has electronic technology using the I²C Bus Concept. It performs as a control function and it
replaces many mechanical controls. Instead of adjusting mechanical controls individually, many of the control
functions are now performed by using "On Screen Display Menu". (The Service Adjustment Mode.)
Note: It is suggested that the technician reads all the way through and understand the following procedure for
Entering/Exiting the Service Adjustment Mode; then proceed with the instructions working with the Receiver.
