This mode is often activated on Samsung TVs used in hotels, and it can be challenging to disable. While specific codes and procedures vary depending on the model, some common methods include inputting specific codes using the remote control or performing a factory reset. It is important to note that some TVs may not have an option to disable Hospitality Mode, and a factory reset might be the only solution.

What You'll Learn
Accessing the service menu
To access the service menu on your Samsung TV, you will need to perform the following steps:
Firstly, ensure that your TV is switched off. Then, using your remote, press the following buttons in quick succession: MUTE, 1, 1, 9, and ENTER. This sequence should turn on your TV and display the service menu.
If this sequence does not work, you can try an alternative: press MUTE, 1, 8, 2, and then POWER. This may access a different service menu with additional options.
Once you have accessed the service menu, you can navigate through the options using the arrow keys on your remote.
On some Samsung TV models, you can also access the service menu by pressing a different sequence of buttons. For example, one user reported that the sequence INFO, MENU, MUTE, and POWER took them to the service menu.
Another user reported that they were able to access a blue menu by pressing the following buttons in quick succession: MUTE, UP, DOWN, OK, and then MUTE again. From there, they could turn off Hospitality Mode by pressing the right arrow button and then the power button.
It is important to note that the steps to access the service menu and turn off Hospitality Mode may vary depending on the model of your Samsung TV. If you know your TV model, it is recommended to search for specific instructions online.

Using the arrow keys to navigate
To turn off hospitality mode on a Samsung TV, you will need physical access to the TV and a remote control. A standard remote may work, but some models may require a special hospitality remote.
- Turn on your TV.
- Input a specific sequence using your remote. This sequence usually involves pressing the "Mute" button and a series of numbers (such as 119 or 182) simultaneously or in quick succession. Refer to your specific model's instructions for the correct code.
- Once the secret menu or service menu appears, use the arrow keys on your remote to navigate through the options. Look for an option labelled "Hotel Mode," "Hospitality Mode," "Hotel/Pro Mode," or something similar.
- Use the arrow keys to toggle hospitality mode from "On" to "Off" or select "Off" or "Standalone." If you only see "Standard" and "Interactive" options, choose "Interactive" to potentially unlock additional features.
- Confirm your selection by pressing "Enter" or "OK."
- Finally, reboot your TV by switching it off and turning it back on.
If you are unable to locate the specific menu options or encounter difficulties, you may need to obtain a Samsung hospitality remote or try an alternative sequence, such as "Mute > 1 > 8 > 2 > Power." Additionally, some Samsung TVs may require a PIN or password to disable hospitality mode. The default PIN for many Samsung TVs is 0000, but it may vary depending on the specific settings.
