If I turn it up, It automatically turns itself back down. The front panel buttons on the Television itself do not work at all, the only way to control it partially is the remote. What can I do to stop its actions and to possible make the front buttons work again?

I would try taking the TV apart and removing/re-seating the control panel and buttons. It could be that the mechanism of the buttons is jammed or damaged in some way. In many cases breaks and damage to plastic mechanisms in there can be repaired with a bit of super glue.

This keypad board is easy to remove and replace. It is located inside the tv behind the buttons on the outside. Remove the two screws holding it down, gently pull the cable out of its socket and its disconnected. Look at the part number on the board...probably A21UCMSW for an LC501EM3 50 inch emerson. Available on ebay for ten bucks usually.

See if the minus volume button on the TV is stuck. With the TV off press the various buttons while keeping your ears close to them. Each will produce a distinct click when you press them, confirm if the volume - key also produces the same sound - if not the key is defective or stuck.

SOURCE: my tv shuts itself off!

Quite a long "description". "How can I fix it without having to check the back of the TV or going to a repairman?" (I altered the spelling etc a little there.)

Answer: Go to the internet and search for "Magic TV Repair Wand" and let me know if you find one---

How do i get my xbox 360 to work with my tv which is a emerson lc501em3

That TV has an HDMI port so I recommend plugging it in using an HDMI cable. Once you've plugged it in via HDMI, turn on the TV and change the TV's input to the HDMI port. Should just be a matter of finding a button on the TV or the remote labeled "input" and hitting it until it's on the right port.
