OSD shows before the picture fades in

[lnx64]

And a second weird effect, though not as weird as I have certainly seen this before. The OSD is not affected by the brightness or contrast settings in the menu. I can turn then both down to zero, and have no TV picture, but the OSD is still there bright as it ever was.

Once again, those Apex TVs were never star performers.....what's the jungle chip part numbrt? With no schematic or chassis info, it's all just guessing.

Post a chip complement and I can dig through some notes, but without some meat, it's all just guesses....

I'll do you one better, the schematic to the TV. I can't read the part number on it though in the schematic, and I already put the TV in my office, I don't want to pull it out as I hurt my back putting it in, heavier than I judged.

If you could turn the OSD down how would you find the menu to turn the brightness back up?

Every set I've ever seen with an OSD worked this way.

Then I have a Philips Magnavox for you. It goes down with the picture, but zero brightness and contrast doesn't make the entire picture disappear, just dark.
