Samsung TV - Turning off the melody doesn't work?

[Anthony]

Hi,

I recently bought a new TV (Samsung LE37B530) and it's amazing, but there is 1 thing bothering me..
When you turn the TV on/off, you hear a melody. It's quite annoying when you turn the TV on at night. So when I go to Menu > Setup and turn the melody off, the TV shuts down without the tune. But when I turn it back on, the TV makes the tune again and the melody setup wasn't changed.

Anybody that knows how to put the melody off for good?

Thanks!

I lived with the issue till i randomly figured it out two month later (today). Samsung CSR are no help not even tier II/III. So make sure you have the latest firmware. YOu can download and update the tv via samsung site. Your tv is probably stuck in store demo mode. If you hit the info button it will say store demo. If you go to setup > plug in play and run through the process make sure u choose home use. Change the melody settings and Viola!

you have to be in TV mode to change from Store Demo to Home Use in the plug & play menu.

I can't believe I've been in Store Demo mode for 2 years!!! I just recently decided I wanted to turn off the melody and couldn't figure it out until I saw this post. Thanks so much for the info!

To go from Demo Mode to Standard (or Home) Mode:

Turn on the TV.
Press and hold the Menu and +Volume buttons on the TV.
