philips 32pfl5522d memory.

Hi, I have a philips 32" which needs retuning every time it's switched on. I'm sure I've read this one somewhere but can I find it??? Anyone point me the right way? I've done factory reset. Cheers, doug.

hi
if you look on philips web page you might find a phone
number for cust services but you might have to fit an
external freeview box

Hi Dave, Yes I think an external box is probably the easiest way out! Philips!!! I 'ate 'em, Doug.

Try this, switch to analogue or scart input and hold down Vol+ and Vol- until the set restarts then the set will do a complete retune. Has been know to cure many freeview ills but it's probably better to buy an external box as the chipset used in this chassis produces dire freeview pictures.

Philips, never been the same since the A10 disaster.

Technical support useless unless you spoke German.

in digital mode enter 1,2,3,6,5,4
this is digital customer service mode

again 1,2,3,6,5,4
then you can initialize digital receiver part.

kind regards

Hi folks,

Had one in today, and Jeez it takes a while to do anything. Eventually, left to itself, it did the biz. Guess some folks are impatient and press buttons - I was, and did, initially - Philips always takes it's time, always did, give me common Vestel, everytime  - Chris

[dougc]

Totally agree Chris. Whenever I tune a Philips I put a slice of toast in, make a cuppa & read the telegraph cover to cover. Doug

Hi Doug,

Note that Sparky suggests a Freeview box after your 'Telegraph and Toast' - he might be right as my set  initially OK - 'forgets' some channels the next day  - Thought Philips were OK after those last crap M/proc panel tube sets - not so, it seems, and not just a small (very costly) panel, but a total main board  - Chris

hi
had one other day did a manual retune after doing auto scan with no
aerial in then did the manual set cust says still working ok after 2 days
have been informed when it does a auto scan it finds over 200 dtv channels
will not store
dave

[dougc]

Hi Dave, Did a manual scan. 105 channels instead of 212. Seems to be ok!!!! Have you tried this on yours Chris? Doug

[Turnip]

Hi doug,

Did rescan at least 30 times - found like some computers it went into sulk mode and found/remembered only a few channels at some times.

Wonder if there's some PS problem with some caps, giving troubles - or maybe it's just Philips

Guess - just crap Philips and needs a DVB box - Chris
