TV volume down and OK on the remote only does a basic IC self check. It do not rest the TV.  It do not clear channel programmed settings, picture settings, channel labels, lock settings or password.  Using this method, it shows the units' firmware version [Peaks 1.050 and GenX 1.00] and it checks the IC communications only.  This is more useful to identify the firmware version, without having to decode the info in the setup menu about version/screen.
