TO ACTIVATE SDM
use one of the following
methods:
- Press the following key sequence on the RC transmitter: “062596” directly followed by the MENU button.
- Short one of the “Service” pads on the TV board during cold.
Caution: When doing this, the
service-technician must know exactly what he is doing, as it could damage the television
set.
Note: the SDM pin is located under the
heat sink.
TO ACTIVATE DIGITAL SDM
- Press the following sequence on the RC transmitter: “062593” directly followed by the MENU button.
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).
- AAAAAAB-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
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 INFO[i+]/OK button to switch to SAM (do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence).
TO EXIT
Switch the set to Stand-by.
- pressing the standby button on the remote control transmitter or on the television set, or
- via a standard RC-transmitter by keying the “00” sequence. If you switch the television set “off” by removing the mains (i.e., unplugging the television), the television set will remain in SDM when mains is re-applied, and the error buffer is not cleared. The error buffer will only be cleared when the “clear” command is used in the SAM menu.
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.
- In case the set is accidentally in Factory mode (with an “F” displayed on the screen), pressing and holding “VOL-“ button for 5 seconds and then followed by pressing and holding the “CH-” button for another 5 seconds should exit the Factory mode.
