Philips 43PUS7906 user manual

1. Using the TV buttons: Many Philips TVs have physical buttons usually located at the sides or behind the TV. You can control functions such as turning the TV on/off, adjusting volume, changing channels, settings, or the input source.
2. Using a Smartphone app: Some Philips TVs can be controlled using a mobile app like the Philips MyRemote App, available on Android and IOS. Once downloaded, you can connect your smartphone to your TV via Wi-Fi then control your Philips TV using your smartphone.
3. Voice Control: Some newer models of Philips TVs come with voice controls and can be connected with Amazon Echo or Google Home that respond to voice commands.
4. Universal Remote Control: Alternatively, you can buy a universal remote control that can be programmed to work with your Philips TV.
5. HDMI-CEC: If your television supports HDMI-CEC, and you own devices connected through HDMI that support HDMI-CEC (like a DVD player, streaming device, or sound bar), then you might be able to use those devices to control some features on your television.
Remember that not all these options might be available, as it varies for different Philips TV models.

There could be several reasons why your Philips TV is not finding any channels:
1. Antenna or Cable Connection: Ensure that your TV is connected to an antenna (for over-the-air channels) or to your cable system (for cable channels). If the cable or antenna is not properly connected, the TV will not be able to find any channels.
2. Wrong Input Source: You may have selected the wrong input source on your TV. For example, if you selected 'HDMI' when you should have selected 'TV', your Philips TV will not show any channels. Check if you have selected the correct input source.
3. Scanner Settings: Your TV's scanner settings can also prevent it from finding channels. You need to ensure that your TV's channel scanner is set to 'air' or 'cable' depending on how you are receiving your TV channels.
4. Signal Strength: The strength of the signal may be poor. If your antenna or cable signal is weak, your TV may not find any channels. Consider getting a signal booster or repositioning your antenna in order to improve the signal strength.
5. TV Software: Sometimes, outdated TV software can also cause this problem. It's possible that an update might fix this issue.
6. TV Tuner: If none of above solutions work, there might be an issue with the TV's tuner.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Philips support for further troubleshooting.

To reset the code on your Philips TV, you can follow the steps below:
1. Press the "Menu" button on your remote control.
. Navigate to the "Setup" or "Settings" menu using the arrow buttons and press the "OK" button.
3. Look for an option like "Reset" or "Factory Reset" and select it.
4. You may be prompted to enter a PIN code. If you have never changed your PIN, try using the default code, which is often "0000" or "1234." If that doesn't work, you may need to consult your TV's user manual or contact Philips customer support for assistance.
5. Once you have entered the PIN or if no PIN is required, confirm the reset by selecting "OK" or "Yes" when prompted.
6. Wait for the TV to undergo the reset process, which may take a few minutes. Avoid turning off the TV or disconnecting it from power during this time.
7. Once the reset is complete, your TV should be back to its factory default settings, including any code lock being removed.
Keep in mind that resetting your TV will erase all personalized settings and configurations, so you will need to set them up again, such as your Wi-Fi network, picture preferences, and channel programming.
