Still having issues
posted by carolaysedai on May 08, 2008
Hi there,
You posted a solution to my problem before with only being able to use the remote to turn on & off the tv, continuous channel searching when I switch to TV from DVD mode, etc. I don't have a cable box, it's just a cable line from the tv to the wall, and the cable people have checked and think it's not the cable, it's the tv. Any ideas? Once I tried turning on the power and clicking the tiny "program" button on top of the tv with a pencil, which got it back to normal for a week or so, but now I'm back to the same issues.
Thanks!
Carol

I'm having several problems with my tv. First, as of today I can only turn it on using the remote, not the power button on the tv itself. When I do turn it on, it goes automatically into DVD mode, but when I switch the mode to tv, it goes through a blue screen channel search, climbing into the 100s, briefly flashing a picture on channel 2, then goes back into the search endlessly. I can only turn off the tv at that point by unplugging it. Is it the tv? My cable? Please help!

What source are you using? If cable, you should only be able to pickup channel 3 or 4 if you're using the box. If there is no antenna, that would be the only other answer if the set checks out...accordianman

WizPlease refresh my memory; What was it that I had suggested originally?

Okay. It's coming back to me..Be sure that you have CATV selected as your antenna options, and then run a setup sequence (which I believe the set wants to do anyway) and see if that does it. If not, the TV will require what is known as a tuner pack, as this one might very well be toast. I hope this helps...accordianman

Pull up your on-screen menu and find the desired options you want. All the different options this set has to offer are done from the on-screen prompts....accordianman
