Zenith PV4655LK9 convergence
1/24/2005 1:39:10 PMGene
I found a Zenith PV4655LK9 television, the convergence cannot be adjusted, also when a dvd player is plugged into the back I cannot get that to come up on any channel. I do not have the remote, is that needed for either or both of these functions? Convergence setting from menu on top of set does not move anything. Help?

If the set is the age I think it is, there should be some convergence information on the inside of the cabinet. There are few items that have a built in failure so that if one setting is changed after so many cycles the PROM needs replacing. This is not likely the situation unless everything else is ruled out.

Convergence will be controlled via "firmware" encoding, and there is a procedure outlined on the sheet inside of the cabinet on how to get to those menus.

As for the DVD, you will need a remote to get to all of the menu options, and to switch between component video sources.

For the DVD Player, try the following:

1) Try setting the channel to 2 and press "Channel Down"

2) Try channels 0, 00, 2, 3, 4, 90, 91, 99. Sometimes the "Video channel" is one of these.

3) Try obtaining a "Code Entry" generic remote. Often these will fix the problem

4) If none of these work, I would contact Zenith

Zenith as a corporation is no more. The name as it applies to TV sets, DVD players, is actually now owned by a company called Thompson Electronics group, or something similar to that. An RCA "System 3" remote should work fine.
