http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/sonypal.html is the link I have to hand - It
might not be 100% applicable to your model but there's a chance it will get
you started.
Just be careful with changing any settings. It is possible to completely
screw things up and lose the picture completely! Take a note of any
settings before changing them!
http://www.avforums.com has lots of information too!

No implications... Just more of the picture you should see ;-)
