I can advise some basic remote troubleshooting. Try this first:
Turn off and unplug your television. Take the batteries out of the remote control that came with the television. Aim it at the remote sensor. Press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Press and release every button on the remote control twice. Plug the television back in and power it on. Put the batteries back in the remote control. Attempt to adjust the volume + and -. If this doesn't work try these steps.

Replace batteries in the remote control, gently with a microfiber cleaning cloth, wipe the IR sensor. You may want to lightly dampen the cloth with a light mist from a spray bottle.
Cover the ir sensor with a piece of electrical tape.
Look at your television's environment. What type of environmental interferences are there such as alarm system, other items in the room that function with remotes, (remote controlled fans, remote controlled lights, DVD/DVR/Cable Box/Satellite Box, Stereo), fluorescent lighting (includes the energy saving CFL bulbs), sunlight, smart house (sensor controlled lights and heat) or power lines by the house. Move sources (DVD/DVR/Cable Box/Satellite Box, Stereo) to another area of the room, not in the same IR path of the set.

Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs are known to emit certain amounts of infra red radiation that can potentially interfere with electronic devices that use IR remote controls. Using CFL bulbs in sockets connected to a dimmer can result in occasional “pulsing” of light, even when the light switch is turned off. These IR pulses can be confused by the TV as IR commands and can potentially lock up the set. Use normal Incandescent bulbs
Move the TV away from CFL light sources
Try different CFL bulb brands. Professional Installers have recommended “Bright Effects” CFL bulbs available at Lowes for low amount of interference.
IR repeaters and some PC controlled IR transmitters can interfere, and should not be placed in or directed at the IR path of the set.

Lastly if possible move the set to a different room and see if you are still having the same problem.

If none of this applies then replace the ir sensor.

Yes, most likely the sensor is at fault - more precisely it's connections to the motherboard are iffy. You must take the back cover off the tv and reseat them. While you are there check their soldering points - with age they tend to melt and get loose.

    after I take the back panel of is it easy to get to the sensor connections or should i have repair technician do it ?

  • Azrael SRL Jul 28, 2010

    Quite easy to get to them and check them, you don't need a technician, they're just wires plugged on the motherboard. But the solderings of the wires, if they are damaged, must be done by somebody who has this stuff before. If you haven't then yes, it's time to call one.

Remote sensor would be located at front of tv so front panel will be removed to replace remote sensor. TV repairman will do the job for you in safe manners, novice could damage some thing while removing front panel.
Call tv repairman to get tv fixed.
Thanks.

Philips TV HDMI CEC EasyLink tries to control Cable set top box

I finally found a fix to this! YAY. I thought I might have to return the TV. I have the Phillips 42PFL5603D, but should work for other models.

On the TV press menu picture settings---picture---dynamic contrast (turn off) AND active control, turn off
If you have Comcast Moto box: on the Cable box go menu--->setup--->cablebox set up---RF BYbass set to ON
If you have a non-Comcast Moto Box, I'm sure there is an RF bypass setting in the menu. You'll just have to look for it. Another fix was close saying to only turn of the active control, but it took all 3 of these for it to work consistently. The latter let it work for all of 30 seconds.

NEED REMOTE CODE

Go on the Verizon website and request a new remote, the Verizon P265 Remote model. It will have all the newest firmware and it should have the code. I know this because I had a TCL 32" TV and the code wasn't on my old Philips RC 1445302 model. TV and new remote are "talking" just fine now. Verizon won't even want the old one back.

- still holding TV key, press the OK key and release both, device keys blink
- press 922
- point remote at TV and press play button
- press next button (two arrows pointing to right) about 325 times until the TV goes off.

Remote controls power, volume, input, and aspect.
