Thank you Maarten and jayceebee!

I've tried all those combinations but I finally figured out why it doesn't work for me.

I posted this question in a CRT TV group on Facebook right after this one. The first question I got was if I got the original remote, I did. But since I live in Europe, the buttons are different when comparing a US remote with mine (EU).
Turns out, where P.STD is on the "US" remote, I have something called S.Mode.
So I tried DISPLAY > S.MODE > MUTE > POWER, still didn't work.

So it seems like my remote doesn't output P.STD from that same button?

Back to Facebook again and I got a tip that the Logitech Universal Remote has a Pp button that is equivalent to the P.STD button. Good news! Too bad I don't own that type of remote.
BUT! I have a Logitech Harmony Hub that I use in my daily TV setup.
Basically, it's a device with built-in BT, IR, RF etc. that you can program to start multiple devices at once.

With this device/hub you can add multiple devices from a database so I was able to add the Samsung CB14F1T. After that, I could go into my Harmomy app on my iPhone and choose the Samsung CB14F1T device and voilá, I now had access to all the buttons. including a button called Pp!!
So I pressed DISPLAY > Pp >MUTE > POWER and BOOM!! I just entered the service menu.

The TV is now adjusted and ready for action!

Thanks alot for your help.
