philips institutional remote codes

Anyone know anything about these, or, better still, what the codes are for them?

A philips RG4172BK is the sort of thing I mean. The local hotel has had a clear out and I can get a number of TVs from them -- but they are all locked into hotelmode and without the remote I'm stuck

Doesn't really help unfortunately - as its not actually 'service mode' I'm after.
What I'm trying to find out is the codes used by remotes like these http://www.newtvremotes.com/Mfrs/Philip ... 057554.htm which allow the setting up of hotel/consumer modes.

..so far I'm having no luck at all.

Doesn't the hotel have a remote that they use to reset TV's from time to time? Maybe if you asked them they'd give/lend you one if you're buying their old TV's.

From what I hear, there's a good chance that this remote simply sends the regular Philips TV signals, just like the TV/0054 setup code.

I did find a user manual for this remote here...

Here's the same manual in PDF format...
http://www.airwave.tv/philips_hotel_tv/ ... RC2573.pdf

To unlock the TV, it appears you have to enter "0 2 4 9 9 5 Menu" on the remote when the TV is in "setup" mode.

On page 18 of the following manual, they state that the access code is 3-1-9-7-5-3-MUTE
