I can't seem to locate the hidden menu. I know it exists.
I did a search and found incorrect information that states

" Press and hold for 5 seconds the OPEN/TimeSlip/Left Skip.
The machine enters SERVICE MODE." but this is wrong. There
is no open button on the remote as the info suggests.

Specifically I need the firmware version. Any help will be
appreciated.
