Kenwood Z838W display help

[flatpackedworld]

Does anyone have this unit and know how to turn the backlit LED off the display? I have Display A on which shows the time, spectrum analyser etc and its fine when the black background is on but every so often the backlight will come on (inverting the colours) which is really annoying, apparently its to safe the screen life. Ive looked through the manual but theres nothing in there about it?? Can it be stopped?

Cheers

If you have one of these units this "feature" can be disabled, official answer from Kenwood is its to protect the lifetime of the screen. They want to charge you at an authorised dealer to reprogramme the IC in the faceplate; there is a key combination reset that will turn the inverting backlight off though. Let me know if you or mates need it, will be up on my website soon.
