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 severness of
the complaint. In a lot of 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 enter
The CSM will be turned on after pressing the MUTE key on the
remote control transmitter and any of the control buttons on the
TV for at least 4 seconds
simultaneously
. This activation only
works if there is no menu on the screen.
After switching ON the Customer Service Mode, the following
screen will appear:
