Question about Sony BRAVIA KDL-40S2000 40 in. LCD HDTV

1 Answer

Sony KDL46V2500 LCD lost it's mind!

TV went into Demo Mode (whatever that is) and would not respond to remote. Also would not respond to onboard controls. Would change from one input to another when it decided to do so and would power on when it decided it wanted. Called Sony support and got some guy that spoke english so poorly that I had to have him repeat everything. Finally got supervisor to send out a technician. Will keep you updated.

    After 3-4 days of the problem the tv slowly corrected itself??? It stayed in demo mode but then would respond to onboard controls. The next day or so it came out of demo mode but had poor picture quality. The next morning the remote started working and later that day the set was back to normal (except I had to re-tweak the picture settings. I swear, I have witnesses!

Unplug the TV for a few minutes. Then start over again. Also, if there is a code try the first/last 4 digits of serial and model#, then 111, 2222, 3333 etc and 1234 and 7890 let me know! hope this helps!

How to return from usb mode to tv mode without remote control for sinotech LCD tv manual
No other way. You should have its remote control to select inputs. I thinks that I've answered this problem, many times before.
If you post any more, please provide the name of yours with the post, so that I do recognize you and not to respond it, and allow any other to answer you.
Here I see this problem is posted by some 'Anonymous" person.
Whatever it may be, you can't select the input to your Sinotech TV; without its remote control.

I can't turn off the demo mode on my sony bravia tv
Press Menu on tv remote, go to Settings and select Factory Reset and press enter button on remote, tv will reset to factory default settings and turn Off and On again itself, now select HOME mode instead of Shop mode to avoid demo mode and go by initial setup screen instructions.
Above are generic info about Sony bravia tv, let me know model number of your tv if you do not see factory reset option in settings menu.
Thanks.

Digital Noise filter off , digital noise filter on and auto visualization is always displayed in my Lcd samsung series 4 even though i turned it off in Picture options , digital noise filter is changed to...
My TV had the same problem and I have managede to get rid of it. The solution is very simple. This displays mean that your TV is in the " Store Demo" mode and any changes you make will last only for 30 minutes and when the TV is turned off the settings will change back to the normal. Whether you TV is in the "Store Demo" mode can be confirmed by pressing the "Info" button on the remote and you will see that "store demo" appears on the screen. To change this mode to the "home mode" you will have to press the "Volume button" on the TV and when the volume sign appears on the screen then you will have to press the "Menu" button on the TV (not on the remote)and hold it down for about 7to 10 seconds. This changes your TV mode from "store demo" mode to the home mode. Confrim whether the store demo mode has been put off by pressing the "Info" button on the remote to see whether the store demo sign appears on the screen. The store demo is set by sales persons in the shops so that any demonstratation/changes that they make while showing to customers will be temporary as the settings revert back to the original.
