Page 1. Performing a Factory Reset
Important: When you perform a Factory Reset, all your settings revert to factory defaults. These settings include all picture and sound settings, all channel menu settings including memorized channels, all clock and timer settings, and any other settings you made through the menu. In addition, if you had your TV professionally calibrated, you may lose the calibration settings if the calibration was not done through the service menu.
To perform a Factory Reset, follow these steps:
- With the TV powered on and using the TVs remote control press and hold EXIT on the TV remote for 12 seconds.
Tip: While holding down the exit button the standby light should blink the entire time without interruption.
- The Factory Reset screen appears displaying a warning message. Cancel is initially highlighted.
- If you want to cancel the Factory Reset function, press ENTER now.
- Otherwise, press the left arrow button to highlight OK, press ENTER, and then go to Step 3.
- After the TV completes the Factory Reset, the TV powers itself off. When you power the TV on for the first time after the Factory Reset, the Plug & Play screen appears just as if you had turned the TV on for the first time.
