Customer Service Mode (CSM)
Purpose
When a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can
call his dealer. The service technician can than 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.
How to activate CSM
Use one of the following methods:
•
Press the “MUTE” button on the RC-transmitter
simultaneously
with the “MENU” button on the TV (top
control) for at least 4 seconds.
•
Key in the code
“123654”
via the standard RC transmitter.
Note
: Activation of the CSM is only possible if there is no (user)
menu on the screen!
How to navigate
By means of the “CURSOR-DOWN/UP” knob on the RC-
transmitter, you can navigate through the menus.
