Got a used Tv for my son, as he is going to enter the campus life. To my surprise it was locked when I tried to adjust the channels. A call to an authorized Philips technician found that the tv has had a former life in a hotel. After reading tvice the manual I could not find any mention about this phenomena. Remotecontrol model is RC 8205.
Perhaps someone here could help me get out of this locked situation. Or tell me where I can get more info.

select prog 38 then press menu on local keyboard and OSD button on remote for at least 4 seconds, display should say H- and be unlocked.

That did it. Had a try with 26 channels and now its done. Thanks.
Made a call to Philips headquarter, customer service, earlier. A very nice girl told me that she will send me an e-mail about how-to, too complicated to explain in phone. Although I never got the e-mail.
Have a nice day.
