Did you save the settings with mute?

If not, I'm pretty sure it will revert upon you disconnecting it from its power source.

there aren't really default settings. every TV is different when it comes to CRT so no TV setting will match. I guess you can still use them as a closer ball park setting thought if you have royally screwed anything up.

what is it that you are trying to adjust.... I've tuned alot of sony's via the service menu.

i was adjusting the geom settings so games would fit the screen properly , 4.3 is fine but ive noticed on 16.9 its a little bowed (concave) at the right hand side of the screen and i cant seem to sort it

i should of wrote all the default settings down before messing but i was to impatiant

it's going to be really hard to get the geometry prefect on a wide screen CRT TV. Mine is not even flawless.

how bad is it now? what was wrong with it in the very start that made you adjust it. it will help me get an idea.

hi the screen is actually a 4.3 screen but it has a 16.9 mode and when you plug most consoles into it it auto switch's to 16.9 mode automatically , i didnt release this at first and thought that my xbox didnt fit the screen properly so i streched it to pretty much the max and played with some of the bowing and curving options , once i noticed i was in 16.9 mode

i tried to change it back but now have a slight inward curve on the right hand side of the screen , im not overly bothered as i bought the screen to play only tate 4.3 games so will probaly never use the 16.9 mode again but it would just be nice to have it right just incase i ever need to sell it

Thanks
