Melody Option

by frankjuval - 1/4/10 2:01 PM

In Reply to: Yes. by grc24

That doesn't work. I found the melody menu item, turned it off, but it doesn't stick. When I turn off the set, after turning off the melody option, there is no melody. But when I turn the TV on again, the melody comes back again, when turning on and off. What gives? I want it gone.

Is there some kind of software upgrade to fix this?

turning startup melody off

I had the same problem on my PS50B450. No software upgrade was required to fix it.

First press the TV button on the remote,
then enter Menu Setup Plug&Play (only available in TV mode) - at this point the firmware may ask for PIN (0000, 1234, 8888...by default)
Then at the next step select Home Use.
If you leave Store Demo mode turned on the TV will forget most of the changes made any time you turn it off.
In Home Use mode you can turn off the melody following the steps previously posted.

Melody Option - turning off

by mkisaacs - 11/25/10 10:59 PM

In Reply to: Melody Option by frankjuval

I had to upgrade my Samsung LN40C550 software to version 1016 from 1008 to get this setting to stay set. Otherwise it would turn off without a sound (as set), but then go back to the medium setting for the next time it was turned on.

Can't find "Melody" on Samsung 46" HDTV

by xianlewis - 1/29/09 8:06 AM

In Reply to: Silencing Samsung Plasma TV startup sound? by cliefke

I have a Samsung 5 series 46" HDTV, and under the "Sound" options I cannot find "melody." Unlike the person to whom you responded, I still have not found sanity! Please help me turn off the sound, I have a 3 month old child I don't want to disturb when I turn on/off the TV after he falls asleep!

Hi - I have a Sammy DLP, and the menu option is found under Setup > External Settings. YMMV.

Melody and LED display

In Reply to: Thanks by xianlewis

As well as turning off (or down) the, "Melody" there is are options to control my Samsung T200HD red/orange light in the lower right. At first I turned it off but soon discovered I need to know if the set was on but connected to a blank input! There are four options under the name of, "Light Effect."

Samsung's have lots of options once you figure out the names.

found the option under
Menu--> Setup--> External Settings--> Melody
now the loud and obnoxious sound is GONE!!!
thank you for the tip

We have a Samsung LE32B652 and this worked for us:

Menu > Plug & Play > General > Melody

You can then choose to switch it to: off / low / medium or high.

I hope this helps.

I could not for the life of me figure out where my setup options were on my Sammy until this, so thank you. I no longer wake my wife every time I turn on the TV from another room.

Samsung LN40C650L1F melody problem

by TyRc84 - 12/21/12 7:40 PM

In Reply to: Re: help samsung 37lg6000 start up noise won't stop! by bintal

My melody option is greyed out. It won't let me select it at all. I've tried resetting the settings, demo/store mode is off, I have the latest upgrade, but I still can't access the melody option.

Any ideas? I'm about ready to go all Office Space on this tv!

Melody setting (off) is not retained!

by mdennison - 12/2/09 1:32 PM

In Reply to: Silencing Samsung Plasma TV startup sound? by cliefke

I have owned the PN420B450 set for about six months and turned the melody off early on. The other day I noticed it was playing again. Hmmmm. So I went back into the menu, found Melody was set to Medium, and changed it "off" again. Then, when I turn the set off, there is no melody (hooray), but when I turn the set back on again, the melody plays and the setting is back to Medium. Over and over and over. It is not retaining my setting! Any ideas?
