This is something which has been bugging me for a long time. Back in the old days, if we wanted to adjust the contrast on the TV, we just reached for the knob marked "Contrast" and turned it up or down. Now it's press the menu button, scroll across to find the cryptic little symbol which corresponds to screen settings, then scroll down and find the contrast option, press select, and try to adjust it up or down with the on-screen menus covering the largest portion of the picture so that you can't actually see what you're adjusting! Is this supposed to be progress?
Paul,
And that is when the set is working properly.
Without a remote control these days, you have no chance of finding things like the pin-cushion.
I had a TV here the other week, that the Vertical deflection had absolutely gone out to pasture, the screen was flickering so fast that I had to solder a resistor in series with the pot that controlled the V-Hold, to see the menu.
