My Philips 46PFL3608/F7 tv remote will not work. I can only manually turn on the tv and control the volume from the back of the tv. No controls work from the tv remote. Batteries have been replaced in the remote. I have Xfinity and used to be able to control the volume/turn it on from their remote but nothing now. Any suggestions on fixing this issue? Thanks!

If multiple remotes used to work (your xfinity and the one that came with the tv), and don't anymore, my first thought would be the issue is with the TV and not the remotes. Is there something physically in the way of the infrared sensor on the TV? Often the sensor is on the at the bottom of the screen on the front, so if your TV is on a table, it's easy to set something in front of it.
Aside from that, there's the normal troubleshooting stuff, see attached images.

SOURCE: Controls not working on Philips 28" TV

We had this problem with a 28PW6515. The control would work for 30 seconds after switching on, then nothing. It was diagnosed as the "glue chip" which handles all the control functions. About £200 to fix it as it's a surface mount chip.

SOURCE: Volume controls dont work when using remote

I would start by trying other codes on the universal remote. Sometimes codes will only work part of the remote such as the numbers or channels but not volume. Your motorola cable remote sounds like it may only need a good cleaning. sometimes when you take remotes apart it will look like somthing got spilt in it. I would start there first.

SOURCE: LG42PC3D TV - No remote control. Manual control works.

dont blame the receiver yet, the problem mostly comes from the remote control. it may be the infrared emiting problem. checkout if the infrared in the remote control is emited well. to see this infrared you can read the article at http://www.unique-stuff.co.cc/fixing_remote_control_check_infrared.html

good luck

Hi, my Philips TV 46PFL3608/f7 ds1 turns on, shows philips logo and turns off. I need advice what I should change. PSU, mainboard or somethink else ?

Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
Before going further; try a hard reset first. If it does not help you, replace the main digital board. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here.

You might need to get this checked with the manfucaturer, looks like a malfunctioning remote control. Or you can just replace the remot and see if that helps.

MY PHILIPS MODEL 42PFL3603D/F7 TURNS ON WHEN YOU PLUG THE POWER IN AND THE BUTTONS DO NOT WORK

If the remote works for the set, both it and the buttons on the set go to the same place in these sets.

The Keyboard with the manual buttons may have a lockout feature--it can be locked to prevent children etc from tampering with the controls.

If no function from remote, that could be same issue or another==key board has priority over the remote control.

if all else fails carefully read the owner manual.
