Anyone knows the USB boot text for LT19C300 ?

[Billy1979]

I was about to buy a couple of LT19C300 TV's to use them for advertising displays
so I could loop photos through them. The technician at the store told me that they
have a demo usb that runs on their Samsung TV's and boots automatically from there
when the TV is switched on. I said that is what I would like to have and they told me
that they cannot give me the usb boot text because it's company's ownership.
But on the other hand if I cannot have that text I cannot use them as advertising
displays as I will not be on the premises where the TV's will be installed.

So what would be the file system of the Samsung USB boot disk and
what should I do to make it happen and start a slideshow of lets say 50 photos
when the TV is powered on?

Thank you very much for your time

Not sure anybody has really experimented but it could be a good start for research

I read the thread but it said about store mode. I have not found any store mode
in the manual of LT19C300 (BN46-00319A-Eng.pdf). If anybody has ever done this
is there a possibility the seller was lying to me? I mean there is no way the TV
can recognize specific instructions from a USB? i have the impression that if the
TV is programmed to read a USB as a bootable/autoplay device then it could do it.
If not, it cannot. I am amazed that even the Samsung Gurus here do not know this
I might have been lied by the seller. I will print this page and show it to him...

Thank you again for your time and effort...

I don't know how looks like this (exotic?) LT19C300 but here on ES model, "store" mode can be set through TV menu (System->Setup). It corresponds to "first launch" configuration: you're asked PIN code, then language, then personal/store use before setting up channels...
It may be different on your TV? (if I understand correctly you don't have it yet? Such mode is possibly existing but simply not in "user" manual that is often incomplete )

Model number LT19C300 is the same LT19C300EW or T19C300EW.
After reading the thread, I made a wmv video from a sequence of photos. Then I converted it to a .mts file format and then I renamed it to DEMO_LED.tp (I left a .meta file with the same name DEMO_LED.meta). I put them in a usb and I went today to another shop to try it out (not the same ones that told me about the text). So we selected TV source, Store Demo, E-POP off, USB, Repeat all, and switched off, and on again. Result. First thing the TV wants is to find channels and enters Auto-Tuning menu. After we canceled the Auto-Tuning thing, the USB was showing ok. But the problem was about the AUTO-tuning menus. Is there a way someone can bypass this? Because I suspect even when someone selects some specific channels, without an aerial (or even with an aerial), if the TV is somewhere where cannot find channels (like in an underground sound-recording studio) the menu for trying to find channels will be there...

Zoelechat I cant find words to thank you enough!!!

Maybe you have to adjust channels and finish setup process at least once, instead of cancelling it. I think if it's done TV won't ask it anymore, no matter if there's "no signal" afterwards. (edit: I mean, just non-empty channel list should be needed)

[Billy1979]

I hope you're right (again) But I see no reason why you should not hehe... Next time I'll be in store I'll try it for sure!!! And I will go to the first store for that, where they told me there is a special text!!!!!!!! just to show them there is not!!! Thank you again very very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Billy 1979! Did you solve your problem? I have the same one. Did you make your TV-set work correctly? If it so, share your experience to me, please.

[zoelechat]

It seems the guy never went back, I assume there was no problem anymore. Everything you need is explained above

i think i aleady read something about a text/config file that you can put on your usb to configure shop mode options, i wasn't able to find it yet but it was in this forum...
