Thinking of buying an ex-dem Aconda, and wondered if there was any way of checking how long it has been running for, other than just trusting what the dealer says.

Hi,
Yes there is:
1.Open the flap at the front ot the TV and press the first button from the left. You should see the Menu "Direct control on TV", scroll down to highlight "Service"
2. With the remote on one hand press again the same button on the TV and immediately press "M" on the remote (you need to do this in 1 sec!)
3. This will open the "Service" menu. The "System Data" should be highlighted (leave all the other options well alone!!). Press OK on the remote and the Operating time will be shown in hours.
4. Press "E" on the remote to exit .

Hope this helps
