RCA 27v520t menu is blocked and wont let me into menu
I recently received this set as a gift, could not turn set on unless we used remote. once on, set was obviously set to local antenna. we have cable but cant receive the other channels because once the menu section is reached, there is nothing i can select. it simply states. "Bloq FPA Encend" of course its in another language but i cannot change the setting, hence the title. There must be a way to reset television set. Plz help

Hello
Without its original remote control it is difficult to unlock your RCA tv. If you haven't one, try to get it from any one amoung your friends who owns your model for just to unlock your TV. If you can do this, inform me by Fixya. I'll send you the proceedings to unlock your RCA TV. ok.
Hello mar...... You will have to either find the remote or replace it as it is the only way to get into the closed caption menu. If you want a replacement factory remote you can go on line at http://www.replacementremotes.com/
If you forget your password, press and hold TV on the remote and the MENU button on the television simultaneously for 3 seconds. Parental controls will then unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock Parental Controls.
Make sure you aim the remote at the TVs sensor while you press the TV button, and hold the menu button in on the front of the television.
Idea 1: Press and Hold the TV button on the remote, whilst also holding the Menu button on the TV.
If that doesn't work, then try:
Idea 2: Go into the menu, select Parental Lock, and press Mute, Display, Clear, and Reset buttons in sequence.
Hope that helps - if not, let me know as there are a few more options to try :)
hi im joe i have the same problem, but before this happened it turned the channel by its self and hade a mind of its own. to get it on unplug it. then as you plug it in repeatedly press the power button on the REMOTE. this will get it to turn on. if you get it on and some how get to control it then go into menu and put the fpd lock on. now you can only use the remote but at least it works. :)
all you have to do is run the auto channel dectection in the setup menu and when it is finished it would have a check in a box indicating what all channels it has found after this menue would never appear again.
If the front panel lock is on, you will need a working original remote (or a universal remote properly programmed for RCA) to turn the set on. The IR receiver is next to the buttons on the fromt but the RCA IR receivers are very reliable, and I have yet to see a bad one in a modern RCA TV. Once you turn the set on by remote, you can enter the menu and turn the FPA off.

TOPIC: Set comes on by itself
Symptom: When the set is first plugged in or after a power interruption the set comes on
Cause: Set was not taken out of factory mode, or has returned to factory mode
Cure: In the service menu go to setting FAC07, then change the value of OPTM2 to “00”
To enter the service mode simultaneously press “Volume Down” on the front panel and “Info” on
the remote control.
Use the original TV remote for the instrument.
Press “7” on the remote to enter factory menu 07. Use the channel down button to scroll down to
OPTM2, then use the volume buttons to set the value to 00. Press the “Sound” button on the
remote to exit the factory mode. DO NOT turn the set off until the screen displays “OK”.
