PHILIPS - THRILLER 32PFL3606H-12_BERLINALE 32PFL5606H-12 _ LCD TV _ Service Mode _ Adjsutments

Service Default Mode [SDM]

Purpose:

Set the TV in SDM mode in order to be able to create a predefined setting for measurements to be made. In this platform, a simplified SDM is introduced (without protection override and without tuning to a predefined frequency).

Specifications:

Set linear video and audio settings to 50%, but volume to 25%. Stored user settings are not affected.

All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled, since they interfere with diagnosing/repairing a set. These service unfriendly modes are:

• (Sleep) timer.
• Blue mute/Wall paper.
• Auto switch “off” (when there is no “ident” signal).
• Hotel or hospital mode.
• Child lock or parental lock (manual or via V-chip).
• Skipping, blanking of “Not favourite”, “Skipped” or “Locked” presets/channels.
• Automatic storing of Personal Preset or Last Status settings.
• Automatic user menu time-out (menu switches back/OFF automatically.
• Auto Volume levelling (AVL).

To Activate SDM

To activate SDM, use the following methods:

• Press the following key sequence on the RC transmitter: “062596”, directly followed by the “MENU” button.

Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main menu will appear. 

To switch it “off”, push the “MENU” button again.

• After activating this mode, “SDM” will appear in the upper left corner of the screen (when a picture is available).

On Screen Menu

After activating SDM, the following items are displayed, with “SDM” in the upper right corner of the screen to indicate that the television is in Service Default Mode. Menu items and explanation:

• xxxxx Operating hours (in decimal).
• AAAAAB-XX.YY  Software Identification, Version, and Cluster for the SW name definition.
• ERR Shows all errors detected since the last time the buffer was erased in format <xxx> <xxx> <xxx> <xxx> <xxx> (five errors possible).
• OP Used to read-out the option bytes. Ten codes (in two rows) are possible.

To Navigate by SDM

     As this mode is read only, there is not much to navigate. To switch to other modes, use one of the following methods:

• Command MENU from the user remote will enter the normal user menu (brightness, contrast, color, etc...) with “SDM” OSD remaining, and pressing MENU key again will return to the last status of SDM again.
• To prevent the OSD from interfering with measurements in SDM, command “OSD” or “i+” (“STATUS” or “INFO” for NAFTA and LATAM) from the user remote will toggle the OSD “on/off” with “SDM” OSD remaining always “on”.
• Press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: “062596” directly followed by the OK button to switch to SAM (do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence). Remarks: new RC will not have I+ button, but function still remains.

To Exit SDM

• Switch the set to Stand-by, by pressing the standby button on the remote control transmitter or on the television set.
• Via a standard customer RC-transmitter: key in “00”-sequence.

Note: If the TV is switched “off” by a power interrupt while in SDM, the TV will show up in the last status of SDM menu as soon as the power is supplied again. The error buffer will not be cleared.

     Service Alignment Mode [SAM]  NB:  Never enter into this mode and adjust the set data values there, unless you are not experienced to do this.  Wrong adjustments to this mode might make the set irreparable.

Purpose

Specifications

• Software version, error codes, and option settings display.

To Activate Service Alignment Mode [SAM]

To activate SAM, use one of the following methods:

• Press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: “062596”, directly followed by the “OK” button.
• Do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence.
• Or via ComPair.

     After entering SAM, the following items are displayed, with “SAM” in the upper right corner of the screen to indicate that the television is in Service Alignment Mode.

To Naviage

     In the SAM menu, select menu items with the UP/DOWN keys on the remote control transmitter. The selected item will be indicated. When not all menu items fit on the screen, use the UP/DOWN keys to display the next/previous menu items.

• With the “LEFT/RIGHT” keys, it is possible to:
• (De) activate the selected menu item.
• (De) activate the selected sub menu.
• Change the value of the selected menu item.
• When you press the MENU button twice while in top level SAM, the set will switch to the normal user menu (with the SAM mode still active in the background). To return to the SAM menu press the MENU button.

Remarks: new RC will not have I+ button, but function still remain.

To Store Adjusted Data Values into Memory

     To store the settings changed in SAM mode (except the RGB ALIGN settings), leave the top level SAM menu by using the POWER button on the remote control transmitter or the television set. The mentioned exceptions must be stored separately via the STORE button.

Use one of the following methods:

• Switch the set to STANDBY by pressing the mains button on the remote control transmitter or the television set.
• Via a standard RC-transmitter, key in “00” sequence.

Note: When the TV is switched “off” by a power interrupt while in SAM, the TV will show up in “normal operation mode” as soon as the power is supplied again. The error buffer will not be cleared.
