You could always buy a cheap Salora 22LED7000T, like I did for the bedroom.
Although this HD TV is not called a "smart" TV, it is in fact smart enough to play 4:3 AVI files with the correct aspect...

I'm afraid you're not the only one having aspect ratio issues.
I get replies from philips that this is "normal".

Have a look here!

dear Benedickte,

I was shocked to read your reply.
If your reply represents the official Philips point of view, I have to conclude that it is shamefully incompetent.
And again I want to point...

You're right, I forgot to mention:

The sources I was playing the video files from are
A. USB stick and
B. when streaming through wlan from PC

Both the same aspect ratio issue.

I had my hopes up today, when I saw there was a FW update for my TV (32PFL3517H).
I did the update, but disappointed, none of my issues are solved.

Issues being: stretched picture when playing...

A similar problem exists when playing .avi files from Philips MediaManager.
When the file is in 16:9 the picture looks OK.
However, when the file has aspect ratio 4:3, the picture is stretched in...

hi Benedickte,


I hadn't mentioned yet: the sat receiver I use is Philips DSR 7141. It is set to auto update.

Today I removed the hdmi cables and looked in the (receiver) menu video settings,...

To make things even more complicated I noticed the following today.

On NL1 I watched a series in 4:3 but this was broadcast as 16:9 complete with the black bars on the left & right. So actually...

hi Leen,

Yes, I tried ALL settings and no,
it's no good. With 'unscaled' I get black bars all around, so the picture is smaller plus the fact that it is no good for 4:3 type aspect ratio.
As I...

The behaviour you describe as 'autozoom' is exactly what I would want. Only: it doesn't work! I get no black bars for a 4:3 transmission and the aspect ratio is distorted. (People seem fat).
At this...

hi Benedickte,


I'm afraid I don't have the .mkv anymore. When I have problems again with this kind of files I'll send you the codec specs.

Alright, I think I got the TV registed for YouTube now. (It seemed there were complications due to the fact that I had different login data for Google and for YouTube, dating from before they got...

Sure,
I press the home button of the remote and choose the YouTube application. Then, on the left I choose the option "my YouTube" and I see the option "Sign In". When I try to sign in I get a...

I can't use "My Youtube". I registered using the code weeks ago, but on TV it keeps giving a new code...
Nice...

Using MediaManager on PC I can play the files from "My Twonky". On my TV though,...

I don't think so. When you read the update history you can see that hardly any issues are solved.

Recently I bought a Philips 32PFL3517H.
A few days later also an inexpensive Salora 22LED7000T for in my bedroom.
Both are HD TV's and I hooked them up to my HD satellite receiver with HDMI cables....

hi Philips,

You may send me the same PM, because I recently bought a 32PFL3517H too, and I have the same questions.

regards,

Mark Vos

Using MediaManager I encountered the following limitations so far:


Files not playing on TV:
.mkv
.flac

Playing, but cannot be paused:
.mov

I havn't a clue what you mean. I got the serial, registered MediaManager and it works.

OK, sorry about my serial complaint. I just tried again and I succesfully retrieved a serial this time.
Perhaps this is because I also registered the Philips wifi adaptor later on?


regards,...

Hi,

And when might that be do you think? The button for the serial is still dead.
I have the impression that MediaManager is not fully functional even for 30 days.
I can't drag media files to...

hi Toengel,

Nice to know... At least now I'm getting somewhere! I saw media manager, but in the web it says: "Indonesian". That didn't ring a bell over here, because I'm Dutch.

I installed the...

Afraid I have problems.
Today I bought a wifi adapter. It detects my network and it connected, according to the message on TV.
But when I try to use the network, TV says: can't find server.

Hi all,


Just bought a 32PFL3517H.
Still not quite sure wether this is a so called smart TV or not.
Anyway, I'd like to know something before trying to connect to my network.
I read about DHCP...
