Two options:
- Read the back label
- Using the remote: MENU → 1 → 1 → GO
With this version of the software it is not possible to enter to the service menu using the remote. To access the service menu you must open the TV.
- Remove back cover. 4 screws (two up, two down)
- Set TV mode (doesn't work with RGB)
- Wit a screwdriver or something metallic short the two pins labelled
SERVICE MODE, wait some seconds until a text appears - Navigate with the remote buttons LEFT and RIGHT. Change values with UP and DOWN.

I just found out how to turn on the Decoder with the default B&O Remote.
Set decoder on port 2 in menu.
Turn on TV mode, then push goto. Now push shift and then picture. Decoder should pass the scart picture into the TV mode. Now you can see the picture while adjusting.
