Philips Tv always returns to menu screen

we have the same problem that just started about 2 weeks ago. Have you gotten your tv fixed yet?

If that TV has a 'menu' button on the front of the set, make sure nothing like coca-cola has spilled into where that switch is located. I would try a different remote in case the remote is getting flaky....

First verify the exact Model Number of your TV. Mine is a 42PF7220A/37.

go to:
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=42PF7220A/37&scy=us&slg=en

On this page I found listed under "Software & drivers" the Firmware Upgrade Software 42PF7220A/37 v1.5.0.0

I downloaded the compressed file and extracted it to a USB Flash Drive.
After you extract the file you will have 2 files...."autorun.upg" and a "readme.txt".
Print out the readme file the delete it off the USB Flash Drive
Make sure the USB Flash Drive has only one file on it (autorun.upg)

Then just follow the instructions from the "readme" file.

Fixed the "Menu" problem for me.....

The most commom causes are One. There ia a stuck button on the tv itself. The Menu button. The membrane switch or the TACT switch is bad and needs to be replaced. The Main bd can also be bad.

It's a common software problem with the Philips TVs. You'll have to download the latest software upgrade to fix the problem. Go to Philips.com/support to find the software for your TV. You'll need a USB memory stick to do the procedure followed on the web site.

Most of the newer Philips TVs have upgradeable software to fix that problem. You'll need a USB memory stick to download the software for the TV. Go to the Philips web site and they should have the correct software for your TV and will have the procedure for you to do the software upgrade.

needs sft waer update call philips

there may be an issue with the push button on the side flaking out check and see if it is sticking on the cover if not I would replace that board

you need to replace y-sustain board.

When I turn on my TV it goes straight to the menu screen. You can still hear sound but no picture. When I try to exit you see the picture for about a second then it automatically flashes back to the menu screen. Even if I try to use the functions in the menu screen it flashes right back to the main menu screen. Very frustrated...need help!
