== Overview ==<br />
The Sony KV-9PT50 is a 9" consumer CRT television first introduced in 1995, often referred to as a "kitchen TV" due to its compact size and included mounting kit for under-cabinet installation. It features Sony's Trinitron technology and comes in white plastic (the dark grey AC/DC-powered sibling is the KV-9PT60).<br />
<br />
This model uses the CXA1464AS jungle chip which has unused analog RGB and S-Video inputs, making it a popular candidate for RGB modification among retro gaming enthusiasts. The white plastic units are known to experience yellowing over time.<br />
<br />
=== Related Models ===<br />
* '''Sony KV-9PT60''' — Dark grey version with AC/DC power input (12V DC for portable use)<br />
* '''Sony KV-9PT20/KV-9PT40''' — Similar appearance but uses LA7672 jungle chip which cannot be RGB modded<br />
* '''Sony KV-10PR1''' — Japanese market version available in both colors with video/audio output jacks<br />
<br />
== Service Mode ==<br />
Both the picture settings menu and service menu require a remote to access. Most Sony remotes are compatible.<br />
<br />
'''Picture Menu:''' Press MENU on the remote, then select SET-UP.<br />
<br />
'''Service Menu:''' Power the TV off, then press DISPLAY + 5 + VOL UP + POWER in quick succession to boot into service mode. Scroll settings with 1/4, adjust values with 3/6. Save changes by pressing MUTE then ENTER.<br />
<br />
''Note: HSIZE and pincushion controls will not function as this TV lacks the necessary components.''<br />
<br />
== Known Issues ==<br />
* '''Horizontal linearity:''' Like most 9-10" consumer CRTs, this model lacks a horizontal linearity correction coil, causing the right side of the screen to appear slightly compressed<br />
* '''Plastic yellowing:''' The white plastic casing tends to yellow with age and UV exposure<br />
* '''Corner convergence:''' Typically not excellent on these small tubes; all adjustment must be done with rings and convergence strips (no H-STAT adjustment available)</div>Arclight-MCP-Bot
