Hello,
Allow me to try and assist you based on your situation.
Most FREE channels went digital, more and more will disappear from the RF spectrum as digital moves into play. This tv is by far not digital thus it uses RF "radio frequency" that is transmitted from a tower to your rabbit ears then converted into the tv to make a picture and sound.
Here is a suggestion that you may consider, will not break the budget. Radio Shack carries a digital set top box that hooks to a antenna thus down converts the digital to analog for you so you can enjoy far more then 6 channels without having to pay the cable man or satellite tv company for your local stations.
Here is a link to the box I am talking about http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3150939
This box will help you get those channels back, will get you watching more TV.
Now for the remote issue, This box comes with a programable remote that will work for your tv so it kills 2 birds with one stone. You could also order one from remotes.com or 1800-remotes if you like.
We do hope this information does help you with your problems.
Thanks for using Fixya.com

Hello
To turn out FPA lock with RCA TV, you must have its original remote control handset. If you haven't one, just buy a new one of borrow it from your friends or relatives, who own the same model of RCA TV. After unlock, you can use any other remote control. If you are using the original remote control, do the following to unlock it.

Most RCA TV sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The code reset is different depending on the model. Try each number until you find the one that works for you.

  1. Hold down the MENU button on the remote and VOLUME DOWN button on the TV it's self at the same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be unlocked
  2. Hold down the 0 (zero) button on the remote and the VOLUME DOWN button on the TV itself at the same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be unlocked
  3. Hold down the MENU button on the front of the TV and the TV button on the remote at the same time for at least 4 seconds. 4- Hold down GO BACK button on the remote and MENU button on the front of the TV at the same time for at least 4 seconds.
Hold down EJECT button on the front of the TV set and the MENU button on the remote at the same time for at least 4 seconds. Depending on the model, one of the methods should unlock the V-chip. Now, if desired, you can change the settings on the V-chip by going to the MENU and going to PARENTAL CONTROLS, or on some sets, going to MENU and then going to TV SETUP, then to V-CHIP SET.
OK.

The child lock is on my tv hitachi older model. i have no remote and the tv is turned off.. how do i get it back on to remove the lock???

The child lock on a TV can be a wonderful thing. A parent sometimes cannot be present for the duration of a kids' show, so the child lock ensures they can't watch programs that are off limits. The lock can, however, cause unwanted trouble--if it gets accidentally turned on and you don't know the code, you can find yourself unable to fully enjoy the full range of available television stations. Follow a few easy steps you'll be back to watching regular TV in no time.

Instructions


Locate the manual for your television. Though slightly embarrassing, accidentally turning on the child lock to a TV is a common problem. The section In the manual about how to set the child lock feature will also explain how to unlock it.

Try a few "universal methods" for unlocking the child lock. Some televisions have a universal code built in for disabling the child lock --no matter what your code is. A common code is "0000."

Unplug your television for a few minutes. The internal battery of the TV is what helps remember what your code. If the TV is unplugged for an extended period of time, it clears the internal memory, which in turn will reset your child lock code.

My akai tv is locked,don't know the code

Most TVs have a parental control lock that can be set to prevent children from watching specific television shows. In order to activate or deactivate the controls, you need to know the four digit security code or parental lock control password. If you forget the number you chose or if the lock gets set accidentally, it is still possible to unlock the TV.
Instructions

Turn on the TV and grab the remote. In most cases, you will need the original remote to unlock the TV if you aren't sure of the unlock code. If you don't have the original remote, you will need to purchase one.

Look at the screen. If you see a blank screen with a red key on the bottom of the screen, press 'Function' and 'Mute' at the same time. This should unlock the channel. This is an option for people who want the TV to stay locked but, want to be able to bypass the lock to watch a certain show or channel. All other channels will remain locked and the TV will fully lock when it is turned off.

Unlock all of the channels on the TV by entering the factory reset code. There are three main reset codes that TV manufacturers set. These are 0711, 6688 and 3308. Try each one until you find the one that works. This will reset the TV to original factory settings. When you do this, you will loose any information that you have stored in the TV, such as favorite channels, automatic timers and the clock. You will have to go through the full initial set up.

Call the technical support service number in your owner's manual if none of those codes work. A technician can help you troubleshoot the television because the problem may not be the locking control. When you call, make sure that you have the model number and serial number of the TV.

Take your television to a TV repair shop. In some cases, a professional who access to wiring diagrams for your television set may have to rewire certain components in order for the television to unlock. This is usually the case when the TV locks by itself while it is on.

I accidentally locked a channel on my ty-187 cable converter. How do I unlock it?

i have the same problem. you can try this: on your remote press P.L twice. you will see LOC on your converter. once this appears, enter the lock code. If you don't know the lock code, then your doomed. :(
i had the same problem with my box. i did trial and error and came up with the steps that i had mentioned. however, since my remote control was acting up, it came up with its own code and i can no longer view the channels that are locked... bad for me! oh well, i hope the steps work. :)

My washer is loc and I don't know how to unloc it

The Control Lock (child lock) is on: To prevent accidental operation of the washer or alteration of the cycle settings, press and hold the lock symbol until you hear 3 beeps and ?LOC? is displayed.

To cancel, press and hold the lock symbol until ?LOC? is no longer displayed. To put the control into control lock you do the same thing.
