Design
The AV-27330 features a black plastic bezel with bottom-mounted speakers, distinguishing it from the silver AV-27S33 variant. The control panel is located on the front right side of the television.
RGB Mod Information
This model cannot be RGB modded due to its 1-chip chassis design. This is a hardware limitation that cannot be overcome. However, since the AV-27330 already includes component video inputs (YPbPr), it can display high-quality video that is very close to RGB quality, making an RGB mod unnecessary for most users.
Setup Tips
- If component video appears in black and white, access the setup menu and enable "component-in" for the appropriate input
- The V2 Component-In and V1 Component-In menu options allow configuration of component video for different inputs
- The television includes I2C bus control for advanced service adjustments
Service Information
This model shares a service manual with the AV-27320 and AV-27S33. The FE chassis is used across these models with minor variations in features and styling. The service manual (document number 51937) was published in May 2002.
