Philips PC7225 hotel TV - can't access the menu to reprogram it.

Analog set, so hotels are getting rid of them. Limited number of channels available. The right MENU button operates the CC menu and the left MENU button operates the SLEEP function. I've tried pressing the two MENU buttons together: no good. I've tried holding down both buttons together for about 3 minutes: no good. I've tried this with the VOLUME buttons, as well. Interesting that pressing any button turns it on. I'm able to use a universal remote with it, but when I select any channel outside its programming, it simply says that that channel is unavailable. I'm on Comcast cable. Any other suggestions?

    I have a Philips universal remote. After trying half of the codes for Philips TVs, I came up with one which allowed access to the SETUP menu. It was 0621. This allowed me to run the auto channel setup, as well as fix some of the other functions. I don't know if this works with all remotes, but if you try different codes, you should get lucky. I'm sure it helps if you have a SETUP button on your remote.

0621 is the code- I used 2 different universal remotes(one for menu and one for scrolling) and solved my problem- when I got to cable, I selected no and was able to use all the originally unprogrammed channels

The code 0621 isn't working for the PC7225 TV on my philips RC19335027 remote. Is there any other code I can try. 
Also I purchased an RCA - RCR311BT remote and programmed for the tv and the code 0621 isn't getting me to the setup menu.  Is there any other code I can try or special way to enter the code in to get to that setup menu?
The ultimate goal is to change the default startup station from channel 53 to channel 3. Thanks.

Your stuck . this set uses a converter chip that gets it information from a programer mounted in the office video rack . its sends a signal to set channels .
the chip has a 99 year memory ( form the service manual . i dont think its that long its more like a year unpluged ) theres even a option to turn set off if does not see a signal from the programer in 10 days it will go blank screen or switch to a channel and stay there with sound mute. the only thing i can think of is to rewire set to buypass tuner and install rca video and audio jacks and use them with a external converter . its tricky and you may ruin the detector ic . just watch your square waves around that detector . and thats a HOT set and use a isolation transformer ... good luck

I have a philips tv that i bought from a motel cant get all the channels and cant get to menu on the tv

These hotel sets have a pretty complicated setup menu. You will have to get a "master remote". The hotel has the "master remote". They really should not be selling these sets without setting them up for a non comercial application. Try www.encompassparts.com and see if they list a Master remote or a service remote. I would check myself but you didn't post a model number. You have got to have the model # for encompass.

Hi, I just bought an older model Philips Magnavox from a hotel(Model Number: TL7127C107 Chassis Number: 27B700-7562). The T.V. itself works fine but I can't access all my channels. I did a little research...

sorry, it wont go away, bet ya got it cheap huh(nothing intended by cheap) but the tv hotel mode is telling you that its a special tuner made for just hotels, the only way to get around this is if you can replace the hotel type tuner on the main-board with a normal type tuner, it'll cost more than you paid though.good luck,a friend of mine bought 12 of then at $25 each, boy he thought what a deal, now he's really crying and they didn't tell him,and they won't refund his money

We bought a magnavox tv from a hotel and some channels are blocked and we can't get all of our cable channels. Is there a way to reprogram the tv? It is a 25' and it's about 10 years old and in good shape....

the eprom that holds the stored codes needs to be wiped clean or re-set...unfortunately, unless the original remote is available to get into the menu...it will have to be done manually by a technician. the set needs to be opened, the eprom located, the proper pin-outs located and then proceed with resetting. if the eprom is an older type, then the codes were usually held there by a back up battery or super cap...in which case, you just need to remove the battery or super cap for a couple minutes.

Trying to get channels above 42 to 99

I had the same problem the solution is you have to get institutional remote and reset the tv from commercial mode to consumer mode and then you will have access to the full menu. go to www.phillipsitv.com to get the directions. I actually asked a Hotel could I borrow their master remote used it and took it back and my tv works fine. Hope this helps.
