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.
