Got me a 27" Panasonic telly, it's a CT-27E13G. It's got some linearity problems.

In an arcade monitor, I'd twist the pot marked VLIN until it looked alright, but instead the manufacturers invented a new system where you try to find the codes for the remote control that you don't have so that you can get the damn thing into a service menu and seriously am I missing something or have we just totally dropped the ball on the whole infrared remote control codes thing

Like, it's 2024, I've got a phone in a drawer with an IR blaster in it, we've had websites full of remote codes for going on three decades now, how come none of them know how to squirt out the "Recall" button for a CT-27E13G

I found out from the service manual that the remote control is a EUR7613Z60 and damn

like

why did I have to find that from a PDF service manual

Are the words CT-27E13G and EUR7613Z60 not linked together in plain text anywhere on the internet? Come on search engines this is rudimentary stuff

@ifixcoinops On a whim, I put them in mojeek. Nothing for both, 5 results for the first one and 4 for the second. Wowsers, remember when search results did that? Instead of 20,000 links of SEO nonsense.

@tehstu At least you get nine useless results very quickly
