How to Navigate
As this mode is read only, there is nothing to navigate. To
switch to other modes, use one of the following methods:
•
Command MENU from the user remote will exit SDM.
•
To prevent the OSD from interfering with measurements in
SDM, use the command “Adjust” or “Options” (“STATUS”
or “INFO” for NAFTA and LATAM) from the user remote.
This will switch the OSD “off” while remaining in the SDM
mode. The “SDM” OSD is remains visible in the upper right
corner of the screen. To exit SDM switch to “Stand-by”
mode.
•
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 remote
controls will not have I+ button, but an “INFO” button
instead.
How 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.

In case the display must be swapped for repair, you can
reset the “”Display operation hours” to “0”. So, this one
does keeps up the lifetime of the display itself (mainly to
compensate the degeneration behaviour)
