I just aquainted a BV Avant 32 DVD type no. 8460 SW 13.0

It looks almost new, and I would love to use this TV. But I run into issues.

When I got it at the seller, it said ENTER PIN. As it was a house clearing of someone dead, the pin was taken into the grave. So I took it without further testing.

The local B&O shop gave me the master pin, so I was hoping to continue with that number.

But after powering it up, it shows weird behaviour:

• Pressing DVD and play, yes, a DVD was left inside, the player starts spinning, and the music comes out of the huge speakers. Volume control works. I see nothing on the display though.
• Pressing TV makes a nice degauss-sound, and shows WAIT on the LED display, this is visible for a bit over a minute, and then it shuts off.
• While the TV is in wait, smashing the buttons on the remote sometimes brings me to some sort of tech-info screen, white text on black, which looks good, no distortion or fringes, just clean white text. No idea what I can do here.
• The PIN request did not show up again.

So I get the feeling it is in some sort of boot loop. Most parts seem to work, but not very well together. Does anybody know this issue and even better, know of a fix?
