Hello

Philips sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The override code for Philips sets is 0711, although it may say "Incorrect code" the first time to trick you. If "Incorrect code" is displayed, simply enter 0711 again. To use it hit the MENU key to get to the menus. Go up or down until you reach AUTOLOCK or SMARTLOCK, depending on the model, and push the "right arrow" key on the remote. Enter the override code, and enter it a second time if it says it is incorrect.

Once in the AUTOLOCK or SMARTLOCK menu, go to BLOCK, and push the "right arrow" key. Go to BLOCKING OPTIONS and press the "right arrow" key. Go to MASTER DISABLE and press the "right arrow" key so that it says "MASTER DISABLE ON". The v-chip is now reset.
OK.

HAVE PHILLIPS 60 INCH 5 YRS OLD GREAT PICTURE NO

Hi, check for any speaker switches around rear of set that may have been accidentally switched. Could potentially have a "hotel lock mode"
which some philips sets automatically entered after a set time (namely months) which limited volume settings. Your friendly local service technician may be able to help you out with that one

When Turned on the Screen says ''Locked''

Please post the model of your TV. 0711 is a default code to access the blocking menu items on some Phillips TVs. have you tried changing the channel. maybe it's just the one channel is blocked. More likely the TV may be in a blocked mode. If you have the manual there should be instructions to reset the blocked mode. There are manuals online. Use Google or any other search and type in your model number and "manual."

Phillips 28PW6006/05-Locked

First you need to get your remote working, without it you cannot unlock the tv. If the romote is not phisically broken (or smashed) make sure the battery contacts are clean and install new batteries.
Once you get the remote working (hopefully) Enter the MENU and select 'Features'. Set the Child Lock to OFF. If you cannot get the remote to work try a universal remote, setting it up with the codes for your tv provided in the setup manual for the universal remote.
