I got this thread about the philips 726 , didnt know if it might work on yours?:


When I first got my 726 player, the video didn`t work. I called customer
service...I was instructed to open tray, then with remote press left arrow
then mute. This apparently turned off progressive scan (I don`t have a
digital TV). Works great, especially with the region hack!

Thanks for the reply. This is my first encounter with the DVDR devices._-Jomo5

Thanks for the info. My 615 is working fine other than it won`t stay off. cycles off and on forever. I have to unplug it after use- It is still covered for 2/12 months - ---jomo5

I corrected the Progressive scan problem.. Unplug the unit hold hold the double arrow rewind button on the Dvd unit, Plug in the power. Fixed!

The other problem is the Cycling of the off/on/standby .. Had problem getting the remote to work while that was happening. The Clock was also goofy and lost hours when I managed to get it in the on mode. After five days I called Philips. It will be in the mail tomorrow and back for repair or replacement.

Hopeing for a fix ,----jomo5
