# At the same time, Press the {Status} button (the button on the left of the 0 (zero) button) on the remote control 3 times. (this must be done within 3 seconds of the {VOL-} button being pressed).
# Release both the {VOL -} button and the {Status} button and wait for about 2 seconds.
# The Service Menu will be displayed.
