Sammy HLN5065W--Technical idiot looking for help

Don't do anything in the SM for a while. Here is the password.

Find Samsung Firmware Version:


The firmware version installed on any set is recorded on the first page of the SM. There is a long ID number at the bottom of the page. The


last three digits are the firmware version of your set.


Remember that in any dealing with Samsung you are not supposed to know your firmware version.

Instructions for accessing the Samsung Service Menu:


Anyone using these suggestions should know that I am passing on the wisdom of others and that I have no personal knowledge of the


Samsung DLP TVs. I'm still waiting.


On the other hand I can recommend, without any reservations, recording all original SM settings before making changes.


****** Thanks to LCH for a clearer explanation than the one I wrote. 09/02/2003 ******


Turn Melody off in the user menu (allows entering the Service Menu from power On state without using a lamp cycle).


With the set ON, press Power-Mute-1-8-2-Power in quick succession.

(If the set is already off, just do Mute-1-8-2-Power )


The service menu should appear for the input you were viewing before keying the above sequence. Be sure to give the set enough time to


complete the process(30-60 seconds).


While in the service menu, you can change inputs with the TV/Video button to view the SM for other modes.


Use the CH up, CH down & select keys to navigate the Service Menu. Press MENU to return to the main Service Menu after viewing


individual functions.


Later, you will use the VOL(+) & VOL(-) keys to change the SM values.


To Exit the SM, power off. Leave it off for several(30) seconds. (until all cooling activity
