Philips tv volume locked motel tv - Zenith H27E35DT 27" TV

have motel replace tv

1st I hope the motel is giving you a discount for a room with no tv , second an educated guess would be that your tv is non digital and is set to receive an antenna signal , along about three years ago most all cable systems went to a digital system , this required a down converter for the older TV's to still be able to work on higher channels but some systems still sent 2-13 out on the wire for the older sets as well , essentially the converter takes a hi res digital signal and changes it to a fuzzy/blurry analog signal for the old tv's , silly as it sounds , there's millions of em working everyday in America that way

maybe soft tuch on edge of screen.

Go up on Visio's web site. They can tell you what the steps are to get to the special setup screen on the TV.

Many hotel TVs have been modified to disable these functions. If you've got the original remote, you should be able to change it, if the TV hasn't been modified.

Often these commercial TV's are just vanilla types catering for TV alone. The43 cable channel is possibly the only other alternative that is a money maker for the motel/hotel. They try and prevent people from connecting their own DVD players to their equipment so they are the ones who make the $$.
It is possible to use a Universal remote providing it is capable of being controlled by a remote.
Philips code is 0054 , you can only try!

You can get your Panasonic Tv out of hotel mode with the Regular remote control you got with them.

Please follow the steps below.

Press and hold the V/- button on the tv itself.
while you are holding this button down, with the Panasonic remote you got with them press the AV button 3 times.

This will bring up a hidden Installer Menu this is where you can take off the HOTEL MODE. and set up your owe setting.

While you are in this mode, be very care you are not switching things off that you are not sure what they are. as this may put a spanner in the works

Hope you get this all sorted out.

Please leave a thumbs up if this sorts you out....

On this set, the volume buttons are the same as the menu button on your remote. The two channel buttons work the same as the scrolling arrows on your remote. It will take some practice, but to turn on the menu, press both volume buttons at once. Then practice using the volume controls to scroll. Once you have the hang of it, you can simply use these four buttons the same way you would have used your remote. If you cannot figure it out on your own, come back here, let me know, and I will sit down and map it out completely for you.

Hope this helps in some small way!

TV is in 'factory mode'. Press ‘VOLUME -' and 'CHANNEL -' buttons on the TV at the same time for 3 seconds. See also:
