This page describes how to enable movie playback on CI+ devices. On these devices you can't change the model number to B650 in the service menu because this will result in a bricked device!!!

What you need

All you need is an Ex-Link cable and a terminal software on your PC. I use putty for this.

How to do it

First you have to follow the steps to enable the serial input and3 debug menu

  • Connect the Cable to TV and PC
  • Enable Debug mode in the service menu of the TV like described here: Configure your TV for Debug-Mode
  • After a reboot of your TV you can connect to the console using your Terminal program with the parameters you find here: Terminal Connection Parameters
  • Now type '1198282' at the invisble prompt. You will see a message that serial input is available now.
  • Type '1198282' again and press Enter. You will see the debug menu of your device.
  • Now type '10' and press Enter. This will give you the following menu:
====================================
   [ SsExeFactoryBase Debug Menu]
------------------------------------
  1  : Factory.dat Loading Debug
  2  : Hidden Menu Status
  3  : GetItem Test
  4  : Get SpecialItem Data
  5  : Print SpecialItem Number
  6  : Each Store Area, Version Clear
  7  : Set SpecialItem Data
  8  : Default Data Update Test
  9  : Display & Excute Factory Menu
====================================
  99 : Exit
====================================
  • Next Menu is '9  : Display & Excute Factory Menu'. So type '9' and press Enter. This will show you the same menu as the service menu you can reach directly on the TV
  • Select '[2] Control'
  • Select '[1] Sub Option'
  • Now you have to enable the option '[18] WiseLink Movie'. For doing this type '18' and press Enter. You will be prompted for input now: 'Input Down(0)/Up(1)/Down100(2)/Up100(3)/Exit(99) > :'
  • Type '0' (Zero) an press Enter. This will be confirmed by 'Execute Success : ON'

You are done with the serial console. It's safe now to turn your TV off since we can do the other required settings directly on the TV.

For these settings:

  • Enter Service Menu
  • Enter 'Control'
  • Enter 'Sub Option'
  • Turn on WISELINK WRITE and HIGH DEVI

Now you are done. Restart your TV now and you will have the Movie Option enabled under MediaPlay.
