Is there a code reset button or a way to reset the lock code so that i can use my tv
Devices: Mitsubishi VS-45603 45 in. Rear Projection TV (only)
I'm hoping your have a working original remote for this creature from 1998 (the dark ages of Analog).
The first thing to try to reset a stored "lock code" is to unplug the set and leave it unplugged until the code is lost (or reset to the default). How long will this be? Mitsubishi won't tell (see below).

Since Mitsubishi fails to provide online support for its own products (even Users Manuals are unavailable), its left to the consumer to discover how to use & maintain Mitsubishi Electronics Products. Accordingly, I've no way to provide guidance on how to use the above Service Codes, nor is assistance possible if something goes horribly awry during the course of experimenting with them.
