21pt136b/15 Philips CRT needs adjustment on the picture, it needs to go a bit to the right.

I have an old philips CRT that I use for gaming, and once I connect RGB scart to it, the image is ever so slightly more on the left, than on the right. I was told I need to enter the service menu to fix that. The TV doesn't have a service menu option as it is turned on. How do I enter it?
 
You should be aware that using RGB SCART commonly shifts the picture sideways, because it uses the composite video as sync, rather than a pure sync signal - so passing the composite passing through the delay line makes the picture shift.

Unfortunately, while I managed to find a couple of service manuals on-line, neither had any setup details, only circuits :(
 
Yes, I have been told this happens with rgb scart, honestly it's not that big a deal, I'd just like to correct it , if possible haha
EDIT: I just realised there exist 'RGB shifters' that allow you to do it manually. You learn something new every day.

Historically there was a line shift control inside TV's, and you could alter it with that - but of course it then messed up normal TV. As you suspect, on this 'later' set it could be on a service menu - but how to access it is a different matter. As I'm no longer in the TV trade, I don't have access to paper manuals any more - and while we didn't sell many Philips sets, we did receive manuals from them.
