Hi there

In regards to "Hotel Mode" - I believe you will need to contact an authorised Sony Repair Centre (as i think its a hardware issue)

Sorry,

Unlikely a hardware fault (unless its all of a sudden happened)  However will still require an authorised Sony Repair Person to fix it.

From what i understand - Hotel mode locks down the settings of the TV (ie, language, tuning settings .. etc etc).  This is normally turned on by going to the Service Menu, sometimes via a sequnce of keys on a 'normal' remote control, other times requires a 'service' remote control.  It is NOT recommended for people to enter the service menu, unless you know what you are doing, as you can do a lot of damage, and basically 'brick' the TV.

A factory reset would not (should not) initiate the Hotel Mode - So basically, without looking at the TV, its hard to know if its a hardware fault (its possible) - But still requires someone to fix it anyhow.

Thats as much as i know unfortunately.

Cheers.
