Experience Thread - FW 150.82 - for 6/7/8/9000 Series - 2012

[leukocyt]

Both HDMI and optical have 1,5m. Not sure if that matters considering both are digital connections.

1.5m

i hear with 5m cable a slight noise when changing channel

I found out with 150.81 I can switch on the TV with the '1'-key on the remote as well again, though it still resumes the channel it was set to before it was switched off. I would like to be able to switch on the TV with any number key and so that the TV starts displaying the channel wich number was pressed (no matter which channel the TV was on before when I switched it off). It's a luxury, I know, but it used to work that way on any remote controlled TV that I have operated in my life and I can't think of a good reason why this one should be different.

I'll try a different cable, but if it was the cable's fault I would either have no sound at all or the noise would be constant. This is not the case.

[sejmon]

I'm not saying that is cable fault by you, but it is also possible.

[Simper]

Thank you Philips for first normal firmware. All bugs (for me) finally fixed!

Less than a year after release...

That's nice to see some progress on the new FW. (no noise when changing channels, multi audio mkv file supported...)

But that's a pity to see that nothing has been done on 3D mkv file. You cannot see the movie in 2D.
In 2D a 3D side by side mkv file will be played with 2 pictures side by side whereas with FW 133.xxx the movie was played with only one picture full screen.
Philips please do something, at least recognise this problem.
I already mention that bug on previous FW, and no one from philips did acknowledge it.
Please do.

Yes you can!!!!
Go to 3D ajustements when you are watching a film in 3D (less, more,...) and select off. I always I've always been able to see 3D movies in full screen 2D with all firmware.

hi all

can somebody olso test the keyboard function in de youtube app.
on my side, the keyboard fucntion dont work in the youtube app

Hi,

as far as I know, the YouTube Leanback does not have USB-HID support. It's due to that the Leanback should look and work the same way on all kind of devices...

Hi guys,

I do not know which TV models you have, but for the ones with the RF remote control with built-in QWERTY keyboard (just flip over), you can use that keyboard in the YTLB search without problems....

Peace!

Hi Leukocyt.

I can see you have mentiones DD noise. Could you please explain the followign a bit more?
- What does you mean with Dolby Digital noise? Are that cracking/plops when switching chapters in a movie? when and what kind of noise is this?
- Can you pelase inform us about your setup? Do you mean Optical Out from TV to Home Theatre System (or similar) or are you talking about a peripheral device connected to your TV via HDMI acting like a source?

Thank you.
Best regards,
Benedickte

Of course, no problem.

I have a STB connected to the TV with a HDMI cable and the TV is connected to an amplifier via an optical cable. If the STB outputs a DD soundtrack it plays ok for a short while, then it switches to a cracking noise.

I've tested the cables, the amplifier and the STB and all work fine.

Thank you for this quick reply

Could you please do the following when you're experiences the cracking noise: press the Options button on the RC and select Status. Then feedback on the Audio settings you see.
Do you also hear that noise via the TV speakers (after you disconnects the optical out)?

When the noise starts the status info says "digital stereo" and the noise also can be heard from the TV speakers (after removing the optical cable).

Switch ON does NOT work with ANY number key on my 47pfl6067T12.

I would also like to have that functionality that has been on any Tv I've ever had.

That's it pepescratch.
Thank you.
That's a pity that philips did not even pay attention to advise.
