Hello. I haven't posted before as I can remember but have been on often reading. Below is the order to reset the format as the V-Format button does not work. I have a S-10 that has lost it's HDMI output but works well on the RCA output.
I also have a couple of S-9's that I may sell if you are interested. I live in Ont CA so the shipping should be reasonable.
I had to change the front panel on one after it was a year old for a similar reason. Now it works great.
Best. Tom

Recovering out of PAL Mode when using HDMI, 1080i_60 Hi Res and YUV Video
Accidently pressing the V. FORMAT button may force you into PAL 50 hz mode w/ BLACK screen, only.
BLIND Procedure to regain normal video using remote, and aimed carefully at the receiver:
Turn off rear pwr switch, then press pwr on to re-boot; allow ~20 sec for full boot (norm 17-18 sec)
On Remote, carefully press only the following keys in exact order
Press MENU [stops at Edit Ch.]
Press DN arrow 2x [stops at Sys Setup]
Press OK [stops at Language step]
Press DN arrow 1x [Enter TV Sys mode]
Press OK [Enter Video Res mode]
Press RIGHT arrow and pause (up to 8x) for 1080i_60 (or 720p_60); see the on screen video menu
Press EXIT 3x to view normal channel hi-res video

Tom: Thanks a lot, it is exactly the same sequence that I was given a while ago by another member using the S9 front panel instead of the IRR'S remote control. I also have an exact model S9 openbox from a friend for a few day to try and when I use use this key sequence on the sick S9 openbox does not seem to change the video format, while in the good working openbox it does.
The story is long but in my sick S9 the infra red (IR) remote control work for about a year and quit working. This was 4 years ago. I kept using the set as it was because I could chane channels and access the menu perfectly using fron panel buttons. This how about a week ago I wrongly decided to do through the menu do a "factory restore". Then the set rebooted but "NoCH" oN the S9 digital display and the that was still connected to the S9 said "Format Not Supported". At the same time front buttons did not produce any effect on the S9 and the IR remote control continues as in the last 4 years to have no effect on the S9.
I reloaded the firmaware and rebooted OK with front buttons control working again, but remote control does not have any effect on the S9.
Now I measured power supply voltages and all are OK, post this a while back on this post.
So I want to replace the Infra Red sensor but I am trying to see how to get exactly the same since even the pin assignments seems to vary among different sensors.
.This one has the markings (YMS) right on the top,so I am trying to figure out what sensor do l need and where to get it.
Right now the set reboots with the following on its 5 digital display panel:
oN
boot
St4t
0001
I can use the front panel buttons it seems the input is accepted not no video (format not supported) and no results with the correct key sequence to change video format with the menu without being able to see the menu, just doing the key input. I cutter the 3 legs of the IR chip and here is a picture
Ideas or suggestions are welcome. I already bought a new STB and should be here soon, but with some input of this forum I want to give it my best before l give up on it.
Thanks for your time.
