Disable Hotel Mode. Sony KDL-55W802A

[MiserablePixels]

I've seen a few different methods listed around the net but none of them are working for me.

Does anyone know the SPECIFIC method for disabling Hotel Mode for this model? Do certain buttons need to be HELD simultaneously or do they just go chronologically?

I have a RM-YD087 remote, which as far as I can tell is the correct remote for this TV but I am unable to enter Service Mode or perform a factory reset, I assume this is due to the Hotel mode being enabled.

So with tv off. Display 5 vol+ power doesn't do anything?

Try display 5 vol- power

WOW. I just figured it out.

SO, evidently there is a specific chronology in which you have to navigate into and out of these modes.

NORMAL MODE > HOTEL MODE SETTINGS > HOTEL MODE
OR
HOTEL MODE > HOTEL MODE SETTINGS > NORMAL MODE



You cannot skip over HOTEL SETTINGS MODE.

So, the hypothesis that I was in Hotel Mode was correct, but I was trying to jump straight to Normal Mode, which is not possible.

I found the proper button codes to enter the different modes here. It is a manual for the FWD Professional Video Monitor version of the sister KDL models but the modes are the shared between them.

The method to access HOTEL MODE SETTINGS is as follows:

Turn on the TV
• The TV needs to have a display during this procedure (no input video is needed)
• Press the DISPLAY button
• Press the MUTE button
• Press the VOL+ button
• Press the HOME button
o The TV will go into power standby and require the power button to be pressed in order
to display an image

NOW you can return to NORMAL MODE:

• Turn on the TV
• Press the Power button on the remote to turn the TV off
• Press the DISPLAY button
• Press the MUTE button
• Press the VOL- button
• Press the POWER button

BOOM.

Full access. Service mode, firmware updates, all inputs and settings menus... Holy hell.

Thank you freakaftr8 for getting me headed in the right direction, I appreciate the help.

Maybe this will help another poor, confused soul at the frayed end of their rope.
