How to change or reset the PIN code on the TV? (2k17)

Situation

The TV asks for a four-digit PIN code in one of the following situations:
● when reinstalling the channels
● when changing settings in the TV menu
● when selecting an app or TV channel.

In case of loss of the PIN code, the code “8888” can be entered instead in the [Change code] option in order to choose a new code.

If the PIN code can not be overwritten by “8888” reinstall the TV to reset all previously selected settings.

How to reinstall the TV?
Press the “Home” button on the remote control, scroll down and select:
[Settings] > [General settings > [Reinstall TV].
Or
Press the “Settings” button on the remote of the TV and select:
• [All Settings] > [General settings] > [Reinstall TV].

Note: In general, Philips TVs are equipped with only one PIN Code (parental rating). If the parental rating is not activated but the TV still asks to enter a PIN, this PIN code might be:
● a PIN code for a the CAM module
● a PIN code for an external device

These PIN codes are not related to the TV. Contact the broadcast provider for further support.
