My Sony BDV-E280 Home Theater System, which has worked well for just over a year has some how now gone in demo mode and displaying demo lock on the display screen. Is there a fix to remove this as it significantly reduces the functionality of the unit.
SOURCE: turn demo mode off on Sony Bravia home theater
On your remote;
Press the Home button
Scroll left to settings
System settings
Auto-start up - go through setup and select "Home" (not store)

SOURCE: Lock and Demo Play Display
while the demo is playing you must press "Play"and "Stop" buttons, then display shows DEMO OFF and you can now take the DEMO CD out.
In some models you need to turn off the power and turn it on while pressing the EJECT Butoom.

I have the same system and one of my dogs got to the remote. I have a philips PMDVR8/PDVR8 universal remote. I was able to get the dav-hdx265 to turn on/off and do volume up and down by using code 0200. I have not been able to get the DVD functionality to work yet, but I will post if I do.

I don't have a Sony HCDX1, so if this doesn't work, please do not rate me down.
Push the PLAY and STOP buttons (at the same time) and hold them for about ten seconds. This should get you out of DEMO mode.
Power the unit off, then back on. If the display now says LOCKED, then press the PLAY and STOP buttons (at the same time) again to unlock.
If this does work, please rate it Solved, so others can use this solution. Thanks!
