Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding EN 31 F21RE AB 5.
Do not allow the display to time out between entries while
keying the sequence. The disadvantage of this method is
that the selected source is changed, due to the key
sequence. Therefore, the first method is preferred.
Upon entering the Customer Service Mode, the following
screen will appear:
Customer Service Menu 1
•
SET TYPE. This allows the customer to view the
(commercial) type number of the Receiver box, without
looking at the bottom of this box. This information can be
very helpful when talking with the service technician.
•
AG NBR. First some explanation for understanding. On the
type plate of the E-box (bottom), you can see a PROD. NO:
AG-code (e.g. AG000312 xxxxxx): AG00 is a production
code, 0312 means production year 2003, week 12 and
xxxxxx is the series number of the set. On this screen line,
you can read the AG-code of the Receiver box, without
looking at the bottom of the E-box. This information can be
very helpful when talking with a dealer or Philips Customer
Care Centre (P3C). Currently this line is not filled in. At the
moment, you will see: **0000.... It will be implemented in
the future.

CODE 2. Gives the first five errors of the error buffer. As
soon as the built-in diagnosis software has detected an

error code is displayed as a 3-digit number. When less than
10 errors occur, the rest of the line(s) is (are) empty. If there
are no errors, the text "0" is displayed. See the "Error
Codes" section for a description of the error codes. Service

this means they have occurred in the same time window.
