That makes absolutely no sense. Automatic adjustment is far more
harmless than full manual adjustment. Obviously manual adjustment
requires the service technician to know what he's doing, otherwise he
very well could break things like you say. With automatic adjustment
the machine autocalibrates itself, the service technician doesn't need
to know anything but the proper keystrokes to invoke auto adjust. How
does the lack of automatic adjustment prevent cutting into profits?
What makes you think the presence of an auto adjust feature is more
likely to cause a consumer to much around and break something? I don't
see the logic in it.

Yeah, and we've all had such a hard time finding the manual service mode
on Sony equipment.
Getting into Sony test mode and Aiwa test mode takes pretty much the
same procedure, just different buttons.
