Service Modes
Note:
For the new model range, a new remote control (RC) is used with some
renamed buttons. This has an impact on the activation of the Service
modes. For instance the old “MENU” button is now called “HOME” (or is
indicated by a “house” icon). Service Default mode (SDM) and Service
Alignment Mode (SAM) offer several features for the service technician,
while the Customer Service Mode (CSM) is used for communication between
the call centre and the customer. This chassis also offers the option of
using ComPair, a hardware interface between a computer and the TV
chassis. It offers the abilities of structured troubleshooting, error
code reading, and software version read-out for all chassis.
Service Default Mode (SDM)
Purpose
To start the blinking LED procedure where only layer 2 errors are displayed.
How to Activate SDM
Use
the standard RC-transmitter and key in the code “062596”, directly
followed by the “MENU” (or HOME) button. After activating this mode,
“SDM” will appear in the upper right corner of the screen (when a
picture is available).
How to Navigate
When
the “MENU” (or HOME) button is pressed on the RC transmitter, the set
will toggle between the SDM and the normal user menu (with the SDM mode
still active in the background).
How to Exit SDM
Switch the set to STAND-BY via the RC-transmitter.

Customer Service Mode (CSM)
Purpose
When
a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can call his dealer
or the Customer Helpdesk. The service technician can then ask the
customer to activate the CSM, in order to identify the status of the
set. Now, the service technician can judge the severity of the
complaint. In many cases, he can advise the customer how to solve the
problem, or he can decide if it is necessary to visit the customer The
CSM is a read only mode; therefore, modifications in this mode are not
possible When CSM is activated:
#
A test pattern will be displayed during 3 s. This test pattern is
generated by the MT822x video processor. So if this test pattern is
shown, it could be determined that the back end video chain (MT822x,
LVDS, and display) of the SSB is working
