Looking for the service menu code for ISF calibration on a RP CRT 610HD..

Greetings

Meet the toothpick. That is your service code. Access in the front control panel.

Thanks Mike, That is what I thought I read somewhere.

i had an ISF tech ask me this same question a few weeks ago...let me find my response and cut and paste it.

The SM is accessed by pushing a paperclip end in a small hole on the front of the display control panel.
The pioneer CRT is probably one of the hardest CRTs to calibrate. The first time I did one it took me 9 hours. This was for SD only and not HD. To do a good job on this display, you should also be removing the glare screen on the front, clean the optics, focus the optics, do gray scales for S video, 480i component, and 1080i/480p component, and then convergence work. Keep in mind that the overscan in HD is way out of wack (as it is on all x10s and x20s elites). You will need to squeeze in the vertical sizing by about 2 inches and then move the vertical imaging centering down by 1-2 inches. Again, if you have never done one before, be very prepared to return 2-4 times to get this correct.

With the above being said...in this point of the calibration game, crts should be left to those with experience, unless you want to tackle a bunch of head aches, or really want to get some notches in your belt. (and or want a learning experience).

Also remember that this display does not have a great color decoder, so after using the filters you will have to do some tweeking by eyes.

Amen! This is all very true. The first several that I did took 10 hours (the 1st was 15 counting a return visit), and now that I've done perhaps 30-40 of them I'm down to 7-9 hours (doing everything for HD and SD).
