Topic: Philips Pixel Plus

Try this. This is what I do with my pixel plus and enjoying progressive scan. Note : Im using a philips prog scan DVD player.
You cannot switch to prog scan by just connecting your prog scan dvd player to AV3 or 4. To connect propertly follw thses steps:

1. Connect your DVD player to the the AV 3 or 4 using YBR component inputs.
2. Use another interconnect  and connect dvd player to another non-progressive TV input, say side input using the ordinary composite connection.
3. Select the non-progressive channel on TV, open dvd player, go to set up menu.
4. On set up menu, go to selection of progressive scan, select YES,then shift the tv channel to AV3 or 4 quickly. Dont forget to remove the side/or non-progressive connection.
5. You are now tuned to progressive scan using AV3 or 4.

Hope this helps. I dont know for other brand of DVD players.

Pre, did this before but still no picture showing when selecting AV3 or AV4.  Must be on my panasonic player, i will try on my pioneer this weekend.  Thanks.

Oks na, sa panasonic player ko nga. I still have to set as 480p on a different paramter although naka-default na as progessive scan.

To anyone near Sucat area, there's a 36" tru-flat widscreen Philips Pixel plus TV at SM Appliance Sucat selling for less than 60T cash and about 64T card.  I believe this is a display model which I was drooling at early this year.  It was selling for around 150T if i recall right.  Didn't get the model but it could be a 2004 model.

Help!!! Help!!! Help!!!
 :'(

I just got a call from Philips service center telling me that my 29" Pixel Plus has to have its SSB replaced cuz the technician can't fix it anymore.  That's the central processing board of the tv.  Which brings me to my next declaration.  Its P37,000.00!!!! for that part alone!

Can somebody help me out?!?!  Anyone know whereelse I might be able to have it repaired.  I can't afford or wouldn't like to spend P40,000 (inclusive of labor) just to have it repaired.

Otherwise, it'll just be junk in my room.

Help!!

[av_phile1]

Wow, you can buy a new 29" TV for that amount.   

[bundy]

Yup! Thats exactly what I told the Philips service center people.  Any suggestions??

Maybe I should just sell it.... 

[Titanium]

bundy, try to contact direct sa philips plant service dept ( las Pinas) I think the part is only P15k but you can even get it lower ( used ) kung makiusap ka. I hope this helps.

[bundy]

Talaga??  Thanks!!! Sige, I'll try that

[bundy]

I don't know if I'm lucky or minamalas.... but finally my tv's been repaired and I only had to pay P3k for labor charges...   Here's the thing, the technicians at Philips are, to put it lightly, slightly incompetent. It took an engineer from their head office to happen to pass by, to see the problem, troubleshoot it... and diagnose that it just needed to be recalibrated.  I'm relieved and so happy that my tv's ok again... but I really don't know what to make of those technicians who couldn't repair my tv and thus recommended replacing the entire short signal board....

What do you guys think?

[Titanium]

Good for you. Philips plant engineers are really more competent, They know the real in and outs of the unit. Philips Tvs are imported from China though Singapore. In Singapore, they dismantle the tvs and export to the Phils. as unassembled Tv's so that tax is cheaper. Philips engineers then re assemble the tvs using coded parts as guide and conduct tests. Thats why they know the parts well and they have all the parts needed in case of repairs. In case of problems on Philips TV's try to contact plant technicians in their Las Pinas  factory. Im not connected with Philips, I happen to have friends lanf doon.

[bundy]

Yeah. I spoke with the engineer who fixed my tv.  There was just a small resistor or something that he replaced. Di na nga niya sinama sa service fee kasi maliit lang na part. Tapos ni-recalibrate na niya.  Tapos ok na.  He also advised me to not leave my tv on in standby mode for longer than a few minutes.  Tumatakbo pa kasi yung power supply pag ganun at pag nag spike ang kuryente, baka maapektuhan yung tv.  I should turn it off completely. 

But all in all I was satisfied with the engineer's service.  I'm not too happy about the actual service center.  I wish they'd train they're technicians better.

Mga Fafi, what the difference between a 34PT9420/69R and a 34PT9420/71. the XXXX/71 now retails for about 50K in SM appliance stores but have not seen the XXXX/69R?  Just curious.

Thanks.

Hi guyz! I also bought a 34" Philips Pixel plus at a discounted price for only P49.9++ and I believe it is a display unit. I bought it only last March of this year and already I am planning to sell it. The reason is, I can't use the 1080i signal that it can display with the use of upscaling dvd players. By the way, I need your suggestions of how I can utilize the 1080i that this set can display using any dvd upscaling players? Most dvd-upscaling players which outputs 1080i high definition signals uses either HDMI or DVI interface, and it seems I cannot use this pixel plus to output this high definition signal since it does not have any of these terminals at the back. It only have both the component and RGB/VGA connections at the rear side (AV3 and AV4 input for HD signals). I'm thinking of using a DVI to VGA converter to hook-up this set with an up-scaling dvd player such as samsung.  Do u guyz think if it would work? By the way, this may be the primary reason y am planning to sell this t.v. set. To avoid the hassle and just buy an lcd or plasma with that has these types of terminals.  Anybody interested? Just email me at [email protected] or text me at 09192801529.

My TV is autovolt and always plugged to a 110V socket as protection against current surges. I turn it off completely only when I am away for extended periods.

One solution is to find a dvd player that upconverts thru component video if Im not mistaken.  Sayang naman yan kung yan lang reason for letting it go di ba?  Other members can help you!!

yung pixel plus ko na 29", medyo nagkaproblema. nabuksan ng tatay ko sa channel na mahina signal kaya nag-auto mute. kaso halos naitodo naman volume kaya paglipat sa ch na maganda signal sumobra naman sa lakas. pansin ko ngayon, nag-blurred ang graphics niya. soft na edges kahit yung mga on-screen graphics ny. anyone encountered this? me idea ba kayo kung ano problema nito? saan kaya pwede patingnan? thanks po.

[gearhead]

update on my 29" pixel plus. my previously defective unit is now fixed and perfectly working. sabi from the philips service center eh flyback daw naging problema. thanks for the extended warranty, wala akong ginastos kundi yung transpo pagpunta at pagkuha sa service center. sulit na sulit ibinayad ko dun sa extended warranty. even as naka-extended din 5500s na dvd player ko, sana naman di ito magluko. hassle din talaga lalo na sa bulky item as large screen tv.

thanks to titanium, i tried this approach and it worked. ganda din pala deinterlacer ng 5500s kahit walang upscaler. comparable or better than the tv's pixel plus.

Anyone knows if this model 36PW9527 can take 720p/1080i via one of its component input?

[daigoro]

just got my oppo 980. i wanted to try the 1080i inputs of my pixel plus. as jpadua as said before, there is a white line on top and the screen will seem to be compressed. I even had a philips technician adjust it but the settings didn't hold when he left. out of desperation, i pressed the stretch button below the hd button on my remote and suddenly the white line disappears and the picture is in the right aspect ratio.  just sharing for owners of this tv.

[jepoi]

bump...

any sighting of this type of TV?  i'm in the market for a 29" and based on the posts here, Pixel Plus talaga pinaka-okay.

did Philips stop production for this model na ba?

[Titanium]

theres somebody in PDVD selling this TV, second hand. Just search for it.

[Philander]

Titanium & bundy, sent you PMs.

Than you.
