HOW TO ENTER SERVICE MODE TO RCA & GE TELEVISIONS - Universal Remote Control Set-up Codes



SERVICE MODE ENTRY & ADJUSTING PARAMETERS
For most models after 1994:
  • Turn the TV on.  
  • Press & Hold down MENU and hit POWER and Volume +.
  • Now you're in the service mode, looking at parameter 0.
  • It will say: P00 V00
  • Use the Volume + key to change the value (V number) to 76. This has to be set before you can do anything else; it's sort of a password.
  • Once P00 is set to V76 you can use the Channel ▲/▼ buttons to select from the first 12 parameters.
  • P13 is another password – set to 77 to get higher parameters.
  • Depending on the model, another one a couple of dozen parameters up will require a password of 78.
  • This varies by model but you will know when you have found it because you won't be able to advance past it.
  • The first parameter, P01, is probably the quickest and easiest to work.
  • It is the Horizontal Frequency control. When you select it, the TV will lose horizontal sync.
  • Turn it all the way down or all the way up with  [►V+]  or [◄V-] and then get out of set-up (if the TV hasn't shut itself off) then switch OFF the power button.
