Then push the "SOURCE" button for 10 seconds until the "F"

5.8.6 Logging
When something is wrong with the TV set (f.i. the set is
rebooting) you can check for more information via the logging
in Hyperterminal. The Hyperterminal is available in every
Windows application via Programs, Accessories,
Communications, Hyperterminal. Connect a "ComPair UART"-
cable (3138 188 75051) from the service connector in the TV to
the "multi function" jack at the front of ComPair II box.
Required settings in ComPair before starting to log:
- Start up the ComPair application.
- Select the correct database (open file "Q55X.X", this will set
the ComPair interface in the appropriate mode).
- Close ComPair
After start-up of the Hyperterminal, fill in a name (f.i. "logging")
in the "Connection Description" box, then apply the following
settings:
1. COMx
2. Bits per second = 115200
3. Data bits = 8
4. Parity = none
5. Stop bits = 1
6. Flow control = none
During the start-up of the TV set, the logging will be displayed.
This is also the case during rebooting of the TV set (the same
logging appears time after time). Also available in the logging
is the "Display Option Code" (useful when there is no picture),
look for item "DisplayRawNumber" in the beginning of the
logging. Tip: when there is no picture available during rebooting
you are able to check for "error devices" in the logging (LAYER
2 error) which can be very helpful to determine the failure cause
of the reboot. For protection state, there is no logging.
5.8.7 Loudspeakers
Make sure that the volume is set to minimum during
disconnecting the speakers in the ON-state of the TV. The
audio amplifier can be damaged by disconnecting the speakers
during ON-state of the set!
5.8.8 PSL
In case of no picture when CSM (test pattern) is activated and
backlight doesn't light up, it's recommended first to check the
inverter on the PSL + wiring (LAYER 2 error = 17 is displayed
in SDM).
5.8.9 Tuner
Attention: In case the tuner is replaced, always check the tuner
options!
5.8.10 Display option code
Attention: In case the SSB is replaced, always check the
display option code in SAM, even when picture is available.
Performance with the incorrect display option code can lead to
unwanted side-effects for certain conditions.
New in this chassis:
While in the download application (start up in TV mode + "OK"
button pressed), the display option code can be changed via
062598 HOME XXX special SAM command (XXX=display
option in 3 digits).
