Hello

First disabel the lock and re-enter your own lock code. For this do the following.

Philips sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The override code for Philip 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.

    Hello
    RCA remote control won't work properly with your set. Just select one [PHILIPS CL 034] model remote for your tV. It will sork with most brand of sets, including Magnavox and Philips. The code for magnavox with the above said model remote are : ............ 0807 0002 0502
    0247 0919 0224 0430
    0402 0408 0109 0715
    Proceedings:-

    Direct Code Entry
    1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH
    button until the red indicator stays
    on, then release the CODE SEARCH
    button.
    2. Press and release the desired Mode
    button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red
    indicator blinks, then stays lit.
    3. Enter the 4 digit code from the code
    tables. Note: after a valid code entry,
    the red indicator turns off. For an
    invalid code, the red indicator
    flashes.
    4. With your device on, press
    CHANNEL UP. If the device
    responds, no further programming is
    required. Note: If some buttons do
    not operate your device, try one of
    the other codes for your brand.
    You will get its manual including codes and proceedings alongwith it when you buy a new one. OK. Wish you Goodluck.

How to reset access code on magnavox 20ms233s

Hi. It's really necessary to have the original remote. All so called replacment do not have the "menu" button. In Philips TV's access code is not rquired. In your case, some channels are "whiped" and cannot be recalled. If you can go into setup-menu, things can be rearranged. There are numerous web-shops where you can buy an orignal remote. I recently bought an original remote for my DVD player. This however was at an on-line shop in Belgium. Just surch for Pilips on line shops in your country. Good luck.

How to reset the parental control code - I forgot the code and want to reset with a new one

This is what I found in the instruction manual on this and I posted it here for you. Try using 3355 for the code and everything else listed here. If that doesn't work, try the very last tip which tells you how to do a factory reset and repeat the first step using the 3355 as the code.

Here's the instructions from manual:

Parental Control
Parental Control allows you to block certain channels or programs so children cannot view
programs that are not age appropriate.
To enter the Parental Control menu, you need an
access code. The first time you enter, use access
code 3355. See "Setting an Access Code" on
page 33 for information on creating a new access
code.
You can set the following options to block
content:
• Channel Lock — Blocks selected channels
• Movie Rating — Blocks movies based on their rating (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, and X)
• TV Ratings — Blocks TV shows based on their rating
• Block Options — Turns on or off all your parental control settings
NOTE: You can use Clear All to unblock the channels and programs that you have set.
NOTE: If the Block Control in the Parental Control menu is enabled, all the sub screens in POP (POP1,
POP3 and POP12) mode will be blank



Setting an Access Code m
After you enter the Parental Control menu for the first time, you can set your own four-digit access
code. If for any reason you lose or forget your access code, you can use the default code.
1 In the Parental Control menu, select Change Code.
2 Using the number pad on the remote control, enter a new access code.
3 Select Exit.




Reset the original factory defaults. Press Menu on the remote
control, select Setup, and then select Factory Reset

Reset code for channel access

What's the model on the TV? Can try to look for the manual online. Might be worth a shot to try a capacitive discharge (unplug power, try to turn tv on a couple of times while power is unplugged, plug back in and try again). That may reset it.

Can also try going in the menus and rescanning for channels.
