New member Username: Lisa82Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | I have a 32" Magnavox model number MS3250C121 about a month ago when we turned it off then turned it back on the picture wouldn't come back. The sound was fine. After a while of being left on the picture came back it was in the center of the tv all wavy with white lines at first then it went back to normal after a few minutes. The next time we turned it off it did the same thing. So we decided to leave it on. About a week ago the side of the screen would sort of wave a bit but then go back to normal hardly noticable. A few days ago it turned its self off. The power light comes on but the picture will not come back. And if we leave it on it turns its self off. Any ideas what it might be and how to fix it? Thanks. |

New member Username: RmsPost Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | I have a Magnavox TV (sorry, don't know the model#) that a friend just gave us. Picture's great, I just can't get the remote to work from a distance farther than 2 feet away from the set. It's not the remote, as I've tried three different ones. Is there something I can do to increase the tv's infra-red range? |

New member Username: LwedPost Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | I purchased a used Magnavox TV Model TP2792 B103. It doesn't have a manual. The problem is the previous owner changed the channel display. For example, he changed things from CBS to SNOT, etc., & he fogot how he did it. How can I get my TV to show the proper station display? The channel numbers are okay, but they don't match the right stations. Thanks for any help. |

Unregistered guest | At the end of a movie I went to change the channel and the tv went into "demo mode". A self-promoting advertisement for the tv scrolls over and over. The television displays what is in the ad (eg. the caption comes on when they talk about caption and the sleep timer is demonstrated). The sound and picture quality are fine, but I can't watch real tv because the set won't respond to the remote or manual stimulation. |

Unregistered guest | Hi, I have a Magnavox television (I don't know which model). I have had it for a few years and enjoyed it very much. All of a sudden something happened with the color of the picture. It seems to have mixed colors of green, yellow, green, etc. all over the place. I tried fixing the tint but nothing helped. Please e-mail me at JerseyNets144@netscape.net if you can help me in any way. Thanks |

New member Username: Davadd0809Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-05 | I just purchased a 27" Magnavox Model #27MT3305/17 and ever time I turn it off using the remote control it automatically comes back on in 2 - 3 minutes. If I turn it off from the tv set it doesn't turn back on. This model does not have an auto-on/wake feature so I don't know why or how it turns it self back on. is this a defect or possible issue with the power surge strip that it's plugged into? I have a clock, lamp, and dvd player plugged into the same strip and have no issues with any of them; just the tv. I bought it from best buy and thought I would post this before returning the tv. |

Richard Groves Unregistered guest | I have a Magnavox 27MC4304 TV/VCR/DVD combo. Got it from Home Depot earlier this year. My huge problem with this unit is that it wont play any DVD's! It says the disk is not in the right format to play back...and it says this no matter what disk I put in there (region 1, 2 or region free or a music CD). Was unable to return it to the Home Depot as I had it too long which I think was BS, but there you go and haven't been able to find a solution for this yet. Any ideas from anyone? |

Unregistered guest | I have two Magnavox 15MF050V/17 tv/monitors and each will power itself off after about a half hour of operation. I have contacted Magnavox about this and their only advise is to make certain that the power cord is plugged directly into an AC wall outlet and not into a power strip, UPS or extension cord, This all sounds sort of fishy to me. Anyone else having this problem? I am beginning to believe that Magnavox dumped a bunch of these units on an unsuspecting public and is hiding behind their pathetic 90 warranty. |

New member Username: PerryshawPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | I also own a magnavox 15mf050v/17 LCD TV. At first I tried using it as a monitor, but the screen would turn itself off after 20 minutes, then when I turned it back on, it would last 10 minutes before turning off, then only 4-5 minutes. I thought that maybe I had not configured it properly to work with my computer, so I tried using it as just a TV. I had the same problem. If I don't use it for an three hours, then I can get a good 15 minutes of tv watching before it turns off, then 8 min, then only 4 minutes -- until off course I let i rest for three hours. This was my first foray into LCD, and I have to say I'm very dissappointed with Magnavox for selling such an obviously deficient product. Unfortunately for me, I was naive enough to believe that the 'turning-off' was my fault at first (as I mentioned, this was my first LCD TV experience, and I thought I was setting it up properly), by the time I realized the TV itself was to blame the 90-day warranty had expired. The people at Magnavox were not helpful at all. |

New member Username: Thomas_fSanta Fe, NM USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | MAGNIVOX GONE DARK! I have a new flat screen Magnivox. It's connected to a Comcast cable outlet. Two days ago there appeared a large dark shaded box covering most of the picture screen. The wierd thing is that it's only on certain channels including CNN. No matter what I do with the TV or the remote, it doesn't go away. The user manual is of no help. There is also some kind of indistinguishable icon in the upper right corner of the screen with an X through it, which may have something to do with the problem. Is this some kind of parental control?? Please help us clear up the screen. Thank you. |

I don't suspect a reset because nothing would come on, but will check when the set cools down. Is it posible the guns are not getting the signal they need?

New member Username: Tlcflorida2005Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | I have a problem with my Phillips Magnavox TV, 27". And please email me with any solution to tlcflorida2005@yahoo.com It keeps turning off, a red light on the on/off button is blinking like some sort of timer is on. When I did get it to stay on, the menu did not show any type of timer settings and the sleep timer is not on. I tried holding the vol+ and vol - buttons down at the same time, but that doesn't do anything. Sometimes it stays on for about an hour but then when it turns off, it won't come back on. It mainly also freaks out when you try to do anything with the picture in picture feature (which I now steer clear of). This tv is about 5-7 years old. Any suggestions? I have even unplugged it for several days to see if it would "reset" itself, that didnt' work. It did this once before and now I can't remember how I fixed it. Help! Thanks in advance. |

New member Username: Omni555Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-06 | I have a Magnavox 27" standard TV that is about 5 or 6 years old. I previously had it connected to a cable box via coax, and the signal came in on channel 3. When the TV was turned on, it would open up to channel 3 automatically. After a short time (about 30 seconds to 1 minute) the screen would blink briefly, the word "stereo" would flash on the screen, and the sound would change slightly. This was no problem until I got a DVR box and set it up to feed into the Front Audio/Video Input of the TV. When I turn the set on, it defaults to channel 3. I have to manually select "Input Source" from the remote to change it to the FA/VI. This is a bit of a problem, since I would like the set to turn on already in FA/VI mode. The problem goes a little deeper tho... After I change the Input selection to FA/VI, it changes BACK to channel 3 after about 30 seconds to 1 minute - the same amount of time taken for it to do the "stereo" thing if I DIDN'T change the channel. I KNOW that there's a way to get the set to turn on to the channel/input source you WANT and for it to STAY there (I have done it, but years ago and I no longer have the manual...). If anyone has the solution to this (and I think that it is a SIMPLE solution!!!) PLEASE post it or e-mail me at 0mni_555@hotmail.com !!! Thanks in advance for any help!!! |

New member Username: KlamergHudsonville, Michigan Post Number: 2 Registered: Oct-06 | Thank-you for your response, I used the original remote and the factory 0711 code and still get incorrect as the response. The irony is that it only blocks the 5 new shotime movie channels I'm getting from cable. All other channels are fine along with all PPV movies and even the shotime PPV movies. It's as if the 5 cable movie channels are the only channels in all of cable that are sending a movie rating signal to my television. Diagnoses alone is $40. I just want to know how to deactivate smartlock completely. Is there a way? |

Silver Member Username: Jdsaenz1Post Number: 129 Registered: Jun-04 | Steve, In 'tv mode', is your signal through coax cable, antenna, or another input? The rca-type (composite, yellow/red/white) connections on the back sound like they're working like they should, but just wondering by what method you're getting your signal in tv mode. |

I have a Magnavox 15" consistantly turns off after 10 minutes and the time continues to sshorten unless it is turned off for a long period. Im very dissapointed that so many people are having the same problems with theyre products, this problem must be looked into. |

New member Username: Wm_kirkChapel Hill, NC Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-07 | This will sound familiar to some of you--my 15" Magnavox LCD tv (model 15MF050V/17) stays on for 10 min. then begins to shut off at increasingly shorter time intervals. After an hour it's turning itself off (with an audible pop) every 2 or 3 minutes. I bought the thing at Home Depot (Durham, NC) on 11-26-04 as an Xmas present for my wife. That means I paid $300 for a tv that has lasted 2 & a half years. One peculiarity I noticed when setting it up was that the box did not contain the cable needed to connect the tv to the wall jack for cable service. Luckily, I had an extra one lying about. I tend to agree with an earlier writer, who suggested that Magnavox found it had a bunch of defective sets on their hands & decided to palm them off on an unsuspecting public through a more-or-less reputable source, Home Depot. Now that you & I think about it Home Depot doesn't really sell televisions as a regular product, nor do they usually sell home entertainment electronics on a daily basis. This, in retrospect, seems to have been a one-shot deal. I should have been suspicious. |

New member Username: FedupwmagnavoxPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-07 | Purchased a Magnavox MWC24T5 (TV,VCR,DVD combo)June 2006 which was manufactured in April 2006 as per the sticker & starting in January 2007 the set started shutting off after 10 minutes of viewing became progressively worst by May 2007, called Funai Corp who handles warranty,was told only parts covered,and to take tv to the next town over for repairs. The TV was finally ready August 2, 2007 having spent an incredible 2 months in the shop & costing $96. to repair! This Magnavox has become an expensive TV to own. Time will tell if the repair holds up, according to the repairman, there was a bad "flyback" to blame for the problem. I'll be contacting Magnavox to voice complaint for this costly lemon. I will never buy another Magnaovox! Shame on them for ripping off consumers, for this is not a new problem and I can now see that I'm not the only one with a dud! |

New member Username: AnnoyedPost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-07 | I have a couple of the TV/DVD/VCR combos - and one is shutting off after about 30 secs. I tried to read all the postings to find an resolution to this problem, but I didn't find one. I called the Funai 800 service center, and after being on the phone for about 20 min holding, the person on the other end basically said that I can file a complaint and that is really it (since the warranty is expired by 1 month!!). I plan to write a letter to the corporation, to let them know about this problem, and that I will certainly never buy a Magnavox product again. However, I did find out, that "Magnavox" brand is a registered trademark of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. Therefore, I will also be sending the same letter to the Philips corporation at: Philips Electronics North America Corporation, 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020. I will also call them to let them know of this problem and how many of us are having this problem (212 536-0500). I think if we all call the Funai service center 800-605-8610 and file a complaint about the TV's shutting off, and send a letter to the Funai Corporation in Torrance, and to the Philips corporation, maybe they will get the hint. I wonder, does this clasify as a class action law suit??? Does anyone know? Let me know when you file the complaint - make sure you write down the time and date and number of the operator you are speaking with to be sure. |

Bronze Member Username: ImjrossNJ USA Post Number: 15 Registered: Aug-07 | Daniel Spain Problem is with tech not TV. Bow is caused by convergence IC failure. No big deal to a good factory tech. Re-alignment is required after the part is installed. Thats where you find out if you found the right tech... |

Bronze Member Username: ImjrossNJ USA Post Number: 16 Registered: Aug-07 | helen crenshaw 18 years ago auto program was not used. you had to enter each channel with the remote that came with the set....yeah right... hook up the tv to a VCR. Lock tv on vcr channel and tune your channels using the VCR tuner. The only thing you need to touch on the tv is volume....channels will be slected via the VCR...jr |

New member Username: Hitman1415Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-08 | I have a new <1 month old Magnavox 26" Digital LCD HDTV - 26MF337B that my GF bought me for Christmas. This Am when Iturned it on it was on for about 3 mins then the picture slowly went dark, so dark that it was totally black. I had sound but no picture, I trying turning it off and then back on and now it will only turn off or on my totally unpluging it. Still no picture and now no sound, when it is "on" the power button toggles back and forth from red and green. The Magnavox Tech I spoke with tried a couple of different things before reffering me to a service center with an authorazation number. Problem is, is that the service center is 3 hours away and won't come out to me to fix it. This TV was bought at Target with cash and my GF can't find the reciept for it. |

Bronze Member Username: ImjrossNJ USA Post Number: 31 Registered: Aug-07 | Bill Bates Set IS under warranty. Get a Letter (no easy task) from Philips stating warranty IS in effect. 26 in sets are CARRY IN You would bring unit to authorized Service Center for a NO Charge repair. You could also ship unit BUT Have the letter 1st AND call the servicer to make sure they are still doing Philips. jr |

New member Username: Hitman1415Post Number: 2 Registered: Jan-08 | j ross, Thanks, when I talked to Magnavox they gave me an authorization number and told me to give it to the authorized service center and that would be all I need. I haven't talked to anyone at the service center yet though. Do you think this information is correct? |

New member Username: BrisonPost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-08 | I also have a Magnavox 24" DVD Triple Combo MWC24T5. It also turns itself off. If you find a way to solve this problem, please respond here. It seems like it has something to do with the VCR part of the TV. It will say STOP, EJECT, STOP and then turn off. You can turn it back on & it will go off. BR |

New member Username: RickjensenPost Number: 2 Registered: Jan-08 | It's fixed. Odd. I unplugged the TV and just let it sit for a day. Next day, I plugged it in and it works fine now. I wonder why.

New member Username: JasonanderinPost Number: 1 Registered: Feb-08 | My wife and I purchased a Magnavox 24 inch DVD Triple Combo (MSD724G) from Sam's Club 9-21-06. Around December of '06 the system started to turn itself off after about 10 seconds. We first noticed it when we would put a VHS tape in. We took it back to Sam's and got a replacement TV. Fast forward to about a month ago and the same problem has crept up. The TV will not stay on for more than 10 seconds. It sounds as if something is moving/clicking in the VHS deck, and then it powers down. Called the 1-800 number and got no where. He said that my 1 year warranty was up (by 40 days). He told me to look in the yellow pages for a repair shop and assured me that the parts they use are really cheap. That's what I wanted to hear... "Yeah, we use really cheap parts, so it shouldn't cost you much to repair..." The guy was no help at all. I vow to never purchase a Magnavox product again and hope that you do the same. |

New member Username: Omni555Post Number: 3 Registered: Oct-06 | Check for a switch "Cable/Air" somewhere on the set - probably on the back near where the cable connects. On the "older" sets, you often had to flip a switch manually to let the tuner know you were trying to tune in cable channels. (I have an old Candle set like that.) |
