General Tips

• Verify the cables are connected properly and check remote batteries.
  Always check the basics first. Make sure remote works, the batteries are good, all cables in the back are connected properly, the device you are trying to connect is powered on, etc.
  
• Unplug the TV from the network.
  Very often hotel TVs are connected to the network and controlled centrally. Unplugging TV from the network may disable the menu restrictions set by the network administrator. Check in the back of the TV for any network or telephone cables hooked up to it. Unplug the cable and power cycle the TV. Check if the menu is unlocked now. You can try the Input Source button on the TV remote or physical button on the TV itself. Don’t forget to reconnect the cable after you are finished.
  
• Download TV manual
  If you can’t find what you need here, chances are that old passwords may have been changed on the newer TV models. Visit the TV manufacturer’s website and download the manual for the specific TV model you are working with. It will have instructions on how to access the hotel mode menu.
  
• Press both Menu buttons for 10 seconds
  Simultaneously press and hold MENU buttons on the remote and on the TV itself. The factory menu should appear. Let go of the MENU buttons and press one of them again once (either on TV or on the remote). Now you should be able to disable hotel mode. Turn off and then turn the TV back on.
  
• Use universal remote or IR smartphone adapter
  A lot of the methods described here require a TV remote. If you don’t have one, you can buy on Amazon for just $5-20 a universal remote or IR remote adapter for your smartphone to be able to control any TV.
• Update Firmware
  If you own one of these TVs and you are trying to make use of it, you can visit the manufacturer’s website, download and install the latest firmware update. This may help you to reset the TV, renew the unlock codes or in some cases to remove hotel mode altogether.
