While I was watching my Emerson TV I heard a loud click and the screen went black and audio went off. When I press tv button on cable remote the tv button glows red, and nothing happens on the tv.

If there is no video but you have audio or you have intermittent video:

1. Press and hold the mute button on the VIZIO remote for 3 to 5 seconds. Some VIZIO TV's have a "Mute Screen" feature that turns the screen off if you are streaming an audio application (Pandora, Spotify, etc) and don't want the screen on. To activate/deactivate this feature, hold the mute button for 3-5 seconds.
2. Turn the TV off and unplug it. Press the power button on the side of the TV for 30 seconds. Let go of the power button and plug the TV back in.
3. Check the connections between the TV and device. Ensure the cord is connected securely to the TV and the source device.
4. Try a second device. (Example: If the issue happens on a Cable/Satellite box, try using a DVD player or gaming system to see if the issue occurs there.)
   1. If the issue occurs on multiple devices there is an issue with your TV. Please contact Support by Clicking Contact at the bottom of the page or give us a call Monday - Friday from 7am - 11pm Central Time or Sat. & Sun. from 9am to 6pm Central Time at 855-833-3221.
   2. If the issue only occurs on one device the issue is not with the TV but with the device or the cables used to connect it to the TV.

press tv menu and same time press remote of recall button so option music mode and off your music mode

Press the INPUT select button on the tv or the remote until you get back to TV mode.

Or leave the setting there and hook up a DVD player to your tv and watch a movie.

Good luck.

Georgine you should have a button on your EMERSON remote that says input or source.
Press that button and a menu should come up with a list of options
use the arrow keys in the center of the remote to highlight VIDEO
Press enter or the circle button in the very middle of the remote

If you have a Sony DLP, then the loud pop you heard is your lamp.  The lamps last approx. 4K-6K viewing hours.  Read your manual for replacement part number to reorder and very simple to replace yourself.

sounds like the lamp has shattered. check the lamp

I have a 42" LG LCD TV and just experienced this today. Watching cable, then the screen went to black, but audio continued. I pressed the guide button on my remote and pic came on with my guide menu. But then went to black again 10sec later and has remained that way for nearly an hour. Tried switching off both cable box and TV, disconnecting and reconnecting cables, but no luck. Finally unplugged mains, waited a minute, then turned back on. Everything seems normal now after the reboot. Phew.

Bad IHVT ( flyback transformer)--need complete service
