Samsung TV - Hotel Mode

[trigger]

Samsung TV's turning on Hotel Mode & other functions. Not all models.

May be of use to someone.

With the TV off (on standby) using the remote control press - INFO - MENU - MUTE - POWER ON (standby button)
TV will turn on & give various options - be careful what you change - you can brick the TV

With the TV switched on press MUTE - 1 - 1 - 9 - ENTER this takes you direct to hotel mode and the various settings like power on volume, max volume etc.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT BRICK YOUR TV.

Does this only apply to Samsung ( and other ) smart tv`s?

When I first found the tuner settings on my TV not long after I got it, I didn't note what the original settings were (I was trying to see if I could get it to enable DVB-T2 or something, but it doesn't have it so no freeviewHD), and lost all channels and the ability to retune, so I had to do a factory reset to return it to default, which fixed it, but I lost all my settings which was a right PITA to go through and re-do everything...

Do be careful with what you do, otherwise you'll have a nice big paperweight sat on yout TV cabinet...
