How To Activate SAM
Use one of the following methods:
Via a standard RC transmitter: key in the code "062596"
directly followed by the "OSD [i+]" button. After activating
SAM with this method a service warning will appear on the
screen, you can continue by pressing any digit key on the
RC.
Short for a moment the two solder pads on the SSB with
the indication "SAM" (see figure "Service pads").
Depending on the software version, it is possible that a
service warning will appear. You can continue by pressing
any digit key on the RC.
Use the DST-emulation feature of ComPair.
Press the ALIGN button on the DST while the TV is in the
normal operation
After activating this mode, "SAM" will appear in the upper right
corner of the screen.

the software version of the ROM
Ex.: TX24EU_1.0_01234 = AAAABB_X.Y_NNNNN.
AAAA= the chassis name.
BB= the region: EU= Europe, AP= Asia Pacific
PAL/Multi, AN= Asia Pacific NTSC, US= USA, LT=
LATAM.
X.Y= the software version, where X is the main
version number (different numbers are not
compatible with one another) and Y is the sub

compatible with a lower number).
NNNNN= last five digits of 12nc code software.
FBX Version. Displays the software version of the
FBX
SW VERSION EPLD. Displays the software version of
the EPLD.
Errors. (followed by maximal 10 errors). The most recent
error is displayed at the upper left (for an error explanation
see paragraph "Error Codes").
Defective Module. Here the module that generates the
error is displayed. If there are multiple errors in the buffer,
which are not all generated by a single module, there is
probably another defect. It will then display the message
"UNKNOWN" here.
Reset Error Buffer. When you press the "OK" button, the
error buffer is reset.
Alignments. This will activate the "ALIGNMENTS" sub-
menu.
Dealer Options. Extra features for the dealers.
Service Options. Extra features for Service.
Initialise NVM. The moment the processor recognises a
corrupted NVM, the "initialise NVM" line will be highlighted.
Now, you can do two things (dependent of the service
instructions at that moment):
Save the content of the NVM via ComPair for
development analysis, before initialising. This will give
the Philips Service department an extra possibility for
diagnosis (e.g. when Development asks for this).
Initialise the NVM (same as in the past, however now it
happens conscious).
Note: When you have a corrupted NVM, or you have replaced
the NVM, there is a high possibility that you will not have picture
any more because your display option is not correct. So, before
you can initialize your NVM via the SAM, you need to have a
picture and therefore you need the correct display option. This
code can be found on the option code sticker inside the set.
