How do I disable the built in dvd player

tv is no power

DVD unit has gone to dvd heaven. Not cost effective to repair. See if you have inputs so you can use an external player.

If your DVD is external, I'd check TVs input settings: if your DVD on "progressive scan" mode, it delivers video signal via "component" connections: green, blue, red plus 2 separate red/white for the sound. If you trying to use 3 wires: yellow, red, white( composite), good chance, that the only sound is delivered. Try to switch DVD off 'progressive", if you only have 3 wires. It will deliver "picture". Or, verso-visa: using "component", 5 wires, but DVD set off "progressive scan". I've seen that confusion many times! Unless you have 'built in" DVD player. no matter what, it's must be broken! Use external DVD player, instead! $30 and trip to the store, will solve your problem. Don't want to fix TV, if everything else is alright. Myself, I never liked those "combo" units. You got stuck with mediocre TV and lousy DVD player. Better: separate them!
Good luck,
Alex.

#1 TRY AND UNPLUG THE UNIT. I HOPE YOU DIDNT BUY A TV/DVD COMBO.. THESE ARE WICKED $$$ to have fixed.. if it is never ever use the built in player ever again ! buy a stand alone unit from wamart for a few bucks and if it goes bad they fit well in the trash,.. so if it still isnt responding the back of the tv needs to come off WARNING if you break the screen the tv is junk, so sett it on a good flat spot , remove back, locate dvd player and un plug it from the tv.. this will take it out of the circut and with luck give you back control of the tv..

try unpluging set while tv is on and plug it back in it should come out

Most likely there is a TV button on the remote.
Try turning it off then on.

If all else fails, try pressing Stop about 3 or 4 times.
Then it will stop the movie and the DVD player mode.

please check you TV color system. you are not using the right color frequency. if your TV has got an auto color region select then set it to auto. otherwise, select the TV color mode until you get the right color frequency

make sure that your remote is on the tv cotrle mode rather than the dvd control mode

yeah.same here.=[
but it only says that for the dvd mode.

No but I'm having same problem and the dealer sugested just buying a new dvd player cause cost of repair or replacement is unbelivably high,approx 500 canadian for new dvd sleeve, the guy tells me they don't fix them they just put a whole new dvd player in from hthe manufacturer. Pretty disapointing considering how nice it is to have it built in.
