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).

I have a sonic TV and can't retune, because of a code lock which I don't have

If you have forgotten the code lock for your Sonic TV and cannot retune it, you may be able to reset it back to factory settings by performing a factory reset. However, please note that this will erase all custom settings and data, and revert the TV to its original state.
To perform a factory reset on your Sonic TV, follow these steps:
  1. Turn off the TV using the power button.
  2. Unplug the TV from the power outlet.
  3. Press and hold the power button on the TV for 15-20 seconds.
  4. While still holding the power button, plug the TV back into the power outlet.
  5. Continue holding the power button for another 15-20 seconds, then release the button.
  6. The TV should now reset to factory settings.
Please note that the steps may vary depending on the specific model of your Sonic TV. If you are unsure or if this method does not work, you may want to consult the instruction manual for your TV or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

How to change the v chip code to a mitsubishi medallion projection tv 62

Bypassing the V-Chip Lock on most Mitsubishi sets:
Mitsubishi sets use a four-digit passcode that is required to view a V-Chip locked program, view the locked TV, cancel the lock, or enter the V-Chip lock menus.
If you don't have the passcode, it is easy to bypass. This is neccessary if you forgot the code, purchased the set used, or if you simply don't feel like searching through your files to find it.

To bypass the V-chip: You can view the locked shows by pressing the number 9 and QV buttons on the remote at the same time, whenever your passcode is requested. This process temporarily unlocks the TV.

To reset the code: When you use the button combination 9 and QV while entering the V-Chip Lock menu, this process deletes your old passcode and prompts you to enter a new passcode.
Good luck, and let us know how you made out with this TV set.
