VIP 722: Swithching from dual to single mode without front panel mode button

[theGrok]

The front panel of my 722 went wonky and the buttons are unresponsive. Is there a way with the remote or inside one of the setup menus to switch the receiver mode?

I am in dual mode and would like to go to single mode. I have search every possible menu I can think of and can't find the option.

Please tell the "mode" button is not the only way.

Thanks.

Sorry, I think you already realized the answer.

That is what I was afraid off. Is there an easy way to open up the front panel? All my buttons are pushed in and to the left and are stuck inside the housing. I think I could fix it if I knew how to remove the front panel. Thanks.

I'd say a replacement is in order. Give them a call.

Disconnect power cable. Open a cover, push three tabs to tilt the front panel and remove it, manage all those small tabs to release PCB, realign all buttons then put it back gently.

Disconnect power cable. Open a cover, push three tubs to tilt the front panel and remove it, manage all those small tabs to release PCB, realign all buttons then put it back gently.

Plug it in and watch it blow! No replacement due to customer tampering with the receiver.

Oh that's scary night come with spooky Mike


It will tamper nothing. Any TV repairman could do that easily.
