How to see TV Guide onscreen diagnostics??

[BayGuy]

Okay maybe my other posting was too specific and I shouldnt have just said Sony HX900 because I guess the software is from TV Guide so maybe other DVD recorders have the same version. So please read this and let me know if you can help!

How do I get to the diagnstocs screen of TVG Onscreen? I've read that if you go into TVGOS and highlight SETUP then go to Change System Settings and type 753159852 you'll get a diagnostic screen. For instance those instructions are in https://forum.videohelp.com/topic253998-480.html here on VideoHelp.

But my TVGOS doesnt have a "Change System Settings" option. The options in SETUP are:

Change Channel Lineup
Change Channel Display
Review Options

I've tried typing those numbers in all those places and nothing happens. Please does anyone know how to get the diagnostic screen in this Sony? thanks.

Chances are, if the codes don't work, then you are out of luck. It states in your reference above that the codes do not work for all players or models. And Sony is known for locking down all firmware and software to prevent this type user tinkering.

Why do you want to change things?

Okay, thanks KK, I didn't know that Sony was known for disabling stuff like this.

handyguy I dont want to change anything.
