I have a 7 year old Phillips 28PW662B/05 widescreen tv. The picture is fine and all that but the on screen display is either malfunctioning or it is my lack of expertise which is causing the problem. In the top right hand corner it displays the channel number permanently, normally this dissappears a few moments after changing channel but since I have had it, it never goes away and is driving me nuts. When I use a scart channel it says EXT1 in BIG letters which is very annoying when watching a dvd or playing a game. Any suggestions? I have the remote but all the markings are erased due to exessive use. Also I have no instructions to consult. Maybe I could disable the display? Please help!
If you do not have an original remote, most likly you will not be able to make this dosplay go away. There bwould be a display button on some models for this remote. if there wasent, then it would be in the menu of the set, but my sourches tell me this remote is available but its an over seas model, and not for use in the US. if thats true, search around where your at fo an original remote control or you will not be able to do alot with it I have heard. Good Luck and please let us know how you made out.
Hi Larry, I do have the original remote, (Im in the UK) but i have tried to remove the display by going through the menus, it didnt give me the option to remove the display, the remote is original but well used and it is difficult to see the markings anymore. I have tried to press every button individually and also tried a few combos to no avail.
Ok I looked on the UK website for any info on this set but I have a link you can talk to them for a price, or you can send them an e-mail to them You can find that link here. Please let us know if they were any help and how you made out. Good Luck!
