How to reset TV TELESystem to factory settings
As you certainly know, over time, TELE System has marketed different categories of televisions, each with different characteristics: there are classic televisions with integrated digital and / or satellite decoder but without Smart functions (Palco and TS lines), televisions with integrated soundbar and the ability to also access Smart functions and, finally, the most modern Smart TVs with WebOS operating system.
In any case, regardless of the device in your possession, at the end of the reset procedure you will be asked to carry out the initial configuration of the television again, together with the re-tuning of the channels; remember not to interrupt the restore phase before its conclusion , otherwise the appliance could be irreversibly damaged. Make sure, therefore, that the TV is properly powered during the whole procedure.
Having made the necessary clarifications, let’s see together how to proceed. If you have a television of the TELE System PALCO or TELE System TS family , first press the MENU key on the remote control and, using the directional arrows and the Enter key , select the Settings item and access the relative menu.
Now, reach the Restore factory settings section , click OK and, in the same way, highlight and select the Restore settings item ; to finish, press the Yes button that appears on the screen and wait a few minutes for the restoration phase to be completed.
If your audiovisual device belongs to the second category, that of televisions with integrated soundbar and Smart functions that can be activated, you can reset it as follows: press the Home button on the remote control, use the directional arrows to reach the Settings button (the one in the shape of a ‘ gear ), and press it, pressing the button Enter on the remote.
Now, select the Reset item from the menu that appears later, press the Enter key and answer affirmatively to the warning that appears later; if you are asked to enter a security code, enter the one you previously set, or use the default PIN 0000 .
Alternatively, press the Menu key on the remote control and use the directional arrows and the Enter key to reach the sections Settings> Other settings> Common settings> Reset ; finally, confirm that you want to start the reset procedure by answering the confirmation message in the affirmative and, if necessary, enter the security code of the TV.
Finally, if yours is a TELE System TV equipped with Smart functions with the WebOS operating system on board , proceed as follows: first, press the Quick Settings button on the remote control (the gear- shaped one at the top) , select the item (⋮) All settings from the menu that appears superimposed on the screen and press the OK button or the central wheel on the remote control.
Now in the next panel, served the arrow keys or the directional joystick on the remote to select the item support , the OK and, in the same way, you reach the menu Additional settings ; at this point, highlight the Restore initial settings item , click OK and confirm the will to proceed, replying affirmatively to the message that appears later.
If you previously set a PIN to access the special functions and / or blocked channels of the TV (from the Settings> General> Security section ), you will be asked to enter it; if you have never defined a personalized PIN but you are still required to enter a code, enter the default sequence 0000 (four times the zero digit ).
Wait, are you telling me that you would like some more information on how to reset TV Telesystem without remote control , because you have lost, or even worse, broken the control device? Don’t worry, there are some solutions even for cases like yours.
The simplest method in this case is to purchase a universal TV remote control and then program it to work with the TELE System television set . Remote controls of this kind usually cost a few tens of euros and are compatible with the vast majority of existing TVs on the market.
If, on the other hand, you prefer to avoid purchasing new devices (or if you urgently need to restore the TV to factory settings), you can turn any smartphone or tablet equipped with an infrared ( IR ) port into a real control device. for the TV, with the help of one of the many remote control apps on the stores for Android, iOS and iPadOS.
How to reset TELEsystem decoder
If, on the other hand, you do not have a TV but a TELE System branded decoder, you will be happy to learn that the reset procedure is just as simple. However, it is not possible for me to provide you with a standard procedure that applies to all categories of decoders, as the menus and items may differ from one model to another.
In general, to start the reset of a TELE System branded decoder, you must press the Menu button on the remote control and, using the directional arrows and the physical OK button , go to the Settings> System> Factory reset sections . Once there, press the OK button on the remote control, highlight the Yes button that appears on the screen and give OK again , to start the reset procedure.
On some decoders, the path to follow may be slightly different: after pressing the Menu button on the remote control, go to the Tools> Factory reset sections and answer affirmatively to the warning that appears on the screen.
Again, if you have a recent generation TELE System decoder animated by the Android TV / Google TV operating system , after pressing the Home button on the remote control, select the Settings button that appears on the screen, click OK and go to the Device Preferences> Reset sections ; if prompted, enter the previously set security PIN and, to start the reset phase, press the Yes button that appears on the screen.
Furthermore, on Android boxes, it is possible to restore to factory settings even using the Recovery mode of the operating system: however, I recommend that you use this procedure only if the decoder no longer starts up correctly , as it is particularly risky.
To access the recovery mode of the box, disconnect the latter from the mains and leave it disconnected for a few seconds; then reconnect the box to the power supply by pressing and holding, at the same time, the physical power button on the front of the device , until the Recovery menu appears.
Now, using the remote control, select the Wipe data / factory reset item from the menu you see on the screen and click OK twice in succession, to start the reset procedure; at the end of the latter, select the item Reboot system now , the OK and verify that the next time the decoder, will be proposed to the Android home screen configuration.
I recommend: whatever procedure you used, do not interact with the receiver or disconnect the power supply before its completion, otherwise you risk damaging it irreversibly . Do not forget!
If you have any doubts or problems in completing the procedures I have illustrated to you, try to consult the user manual received with the decoder or, if you no longer have it, search on Google for phrases such as factory reset TELE System [decoder model] .
Note : some decoders, but not all, can also be restored by pressing only the physical buttons. To do this, you need to turn off the device using the switch located on the back, turn it on after a few seconds and, when all the front LEDs light up, press and hold the Stand-By button located on the front of the device, until it stays on. only one LED. When this happens, just release the button previously pressed and wait for the decoder to restart, proposing the initial configuration procedure.
