Your Phillips Magnavox TV produces high quality images so you can enjoy your favorite gaming, comedies, movies and sporting events. There are times when you need to fix quirks that might happen, such as no audio or no picture. Fixing your Phillips Magnavox TV on your own allows you to take care of minor problems yourself, without having to call in a pricey service person to fix it for you.
Instructions
No Picture
1. Press "Menu" on your Phillips Magnavox television remote control. If the "Main Menu" displays, continue on. If it does not display, you have a connection problem. Make sure all of your wires are connected and try again.
2. Adjust the "Contrast" and "Brightness" options in the "Picture" menu until you see your picture.
3. Check "Closed Caption" in your "Main Menu." Make sure the "Text" mode selected does not block the image on the screen.
4. Clear the area around your Phillips Magnavox television so the TV can get proper airflow. Overheating can cause your Phillips Magnavox television to shut down, and will eventually ruin the TV if left unaddressed. If you think your Phillips Magnavox television shows signs of overheating, turn it off, clear the area around the TV, and let it cool down completely before trying to use it again.
Inoperable Remote Control
5. Check the buttons on your Phillips Magnavox television display. If they work, you know the problem is with your remote control, not the television itself.
6. Replace the batteries in your Phillips Magnavox television remote control.
7. Clean the sensor lens on both the television and on the remote control with a lint-free cloth.
8. Use the remote control within 20 feet of your Phillips Magnavox television. Attempting to use it outside that range likely will not work.
No Audio
9. Check to see if your Phillips Magnavox television is on "Mute." Press "Volume Up" on your Phillips Magnavox television remote control. This will turn the volume up, if it was turned down, and it automatically takes your TV off of "Mute" if that was the problem.
10. Locate the headset jack on your Phillips Magnavox television, usually on the side or the front of the TV where the other control panel buttons are. If headphones are plugged into that outlet, it will prevent audio from coming through your television speakers. Unplug the headphones to fix the problem.
11. Press "Input" on your Phillips Magnavox television remote control multiple times to browse through the available input channels. Take a moment to listen to make sure your audio isn't displayed on an incorrect input. If so, press "Menu," "Setup" then "Source." Make sure all of your video sources and audio sources are the same.
Reset Your Television
12. Turn off your Phillips Magnavox television and unplug it from the wall or the power strip. This helps discharge static electricity build-up that can cause your TV to malfunction.
13. Wait five minutes.
14. Plug the television back in and try again.
