Zenith 2004 Console Television

Not by the book but turn brightness, color & contrast all the way down.
Adj G-2 up til you see retrace lines then turn down til they go away &
screen isnt lit.
Turn things back up & check that the brightness has good range.
For the color adjustments you need to get into the service menus.
ALLWAYS write down anything you change.
The red problem is probably a leaky driver or the CRT though.....

Any suggestions on the correct adjustment of the G2 (Screen)? The Screen seems to have quite a bit of red color in it. This set has no adjustments that I can find for the Color Hue. It makes the Black& Gray in pictures sometimes have a little red tint. Any suggestions on correcting this or what is causing this would be appreciated. I set the EZ Picture to Customs to make my own settings on the TV. The Digital Preset was way too overdone. Thanks.

I have just noticed the red problem is more noticeable and stronger when trying to run the TV on Video. When running the Converter Box or Satellite Receiver on Ch.3/4 it's not nearly as bad.

When this TV has no Signal hooked up to it the TV is a True Black & White Snow that looks perfectly normal. However, when you hook up some type of signal whether it be satellite or antenna Converter Box the Back Screen shows too much Red color.

How do you access the Service Menu via the Remote to adjust the Color Bias on this TV?
