I was given a Philips 20FT3210/35 20" LCD TV. It was a sample given by
Philips to my employer and then to me when it was no longer needed.
This model is generally used in hotels, etc, with limited access to
controls by guests. It requires a master remote to access full
controls. The master is also supposed to be able to change it from
commercial to consumer mode. Philips loaned me a master remote and I
got it changed into consumer mode, but still cannot access the
controls. I have followed the directions given perfectly but still no
luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know of someone in
the Seattle area that might be able to unlock the controls? I have
checked the normal Philips service centers and no luck.
Thanks, Julie

Allegedly one motel chain had a notice in each room saying, "Please don't
steal the remote. It only works with our TVs and will not work with your
home TV". A visitor left a note saying, "No problem, I also stole the TV".
