Philips (Magnavox) In Hotel Mode

[Barry Poole]

I have a 1992 Philips TV (it says Magnavox on the front) that is in "hotel
mode". The model number is EML 192 C104. The chassis model number is
25S106-00DD.

I would like to be able to tune into channel 4 but the TV reports that it
isn't available. How do I get out of hotel mode?

I've had friends that said the service mode may help. When I enter 0 6 2 5
9 6 <menu>... it tunes to channel 6, reports that 25 is not availble,
reports that 96 is not available, then the press of the <menu> button has no
effect.

Thanks,
Barry

This TV came from the closed Millenium Hotel in NYC. Channel 3 looks great!

I've got a Philips Magnavox TR-2503 (25F800 Chassis) on which I turned
RC=ON, and now I can't figure out how to turn it back OFF. Help!
