NEC TV - How to change language of menu

Hello, Linda -

I hope your smart TV came with an owner's manual. If so, I suspect the instructions for changing the language (for closed captioning? or menu choices?) are printed there.

Without knowing the make and model of your smart TV, I cannot provide you with instructions specific to your TV. You can add the make and model of your TV by using the Edit feature and adding the information to your question.

Probably the option to change the language will be through pressing the Menu button on the TV remote control. If the choices in the Menu are in another language, then you will need to try all options and make some guesses.

I suggest you visit the web pages of the manufacturer of your TV to find instructions.

Most language options on electronics are found under "Settings"

Hi Bob, there should be a language selection facility the on menu. Check it out I am sure this will clear the problem!

There is no option for it on your extension because your "class of service" is not set for it. Probably the only extension set for name change is 301 if the default configuration was not changed.

Hi Fernando..Yes your TV can support Spanish language.It is easy to change your menu language to Spanish.Please follow these steps to change into Spanish.
1)Press the menu button using your remote.
2)Wait for the menu to be displayed.Once the menu is displayed click the language menu from the display.
3)You can find all the languages listed on the menu.
4)Select and Press OK to activate your language.
5)Press Enter and Exit.

Enjoy watching your TV with Spanish menu..

Hi

I emailed NEC and they sent a manual

Thanks

It is always more difficult to operate the menu features of a tv using the manual buttons on the tv. I recommend you unplug the ac cord of the tv from the wall for a day while you go out and buy a universal remote control. After plugging the tv back in and turning it on initially most television on screen prompts immediately direct you to the set up menu which includes setting the language.

Follow the instructions on the universal remote and program the remote to the tv using the power button on the remote to determine if you have reached the right code. It will then be possible to operate the menu features of the tv via the remote control and thus change the language back to english.

I cannot assist but do you please have an owners manual for the FS 5197. I'm not sure if its against this sites "rules" but little fingers have tuned the menu's instructions into Arabic. Contact me directly at [email protected]. Thanks
