My 47 inch tv's menu is jacked up i i cant auto program my cable channels, cant adjust bass or treble nothing, not even the brightness or color. Tried using remote and by the buttons on the tv itself can...

It is possible that the TV was hit by a small power surge, and the processor has some garbage in it, and you need to leave it unplug for 40 MIN, and that will reset back to normal.

Toshiba 62hx94 cant shut off closed caption have comcast cable How do I turn off closed caption on my TV. It suddenly turned on.

if the tv is not hd then the control is on your tv.
However if the comcast box is an hd box do the following;
Press cable, then power and then with 2 seconds press the red menu button to get the hidden hd user setup menu. You may have to hit the menu button multiple times to get the menu to stay up on the tv.
Next go down to closed captions which is probably enabled, and hit the left or right arrow key to change it to disabled.
Then press the power button twice to turn the box off and back on.

Rca truflat locked

Hey this same thing happened to me not too long ago and you just have to buy a Universal remote and program it (it should come with the codes to program it to your TV) I think the code is 704 or 702 for RCA... Anywho after that then you can turn your tv back on wit the remote and push menu and Preferences and then FPA off. Its just a parental control block so your kids cant touch the tv buttons and mess with your settings.

Try this!

The manual states the TV is designed to search for channels.

turn the power on
then hit menu
(if it doesn't start searching for channels)
then hit channel up -let it run a complete channel search
hit menu again
(if it doesn't start searching for channels)
hit channel up- let it run a second channel search
hit menu again after it finishes it's 2nd search cycle
if it doesn't go to a channel, hit the input button.


it worked for me!
hope it helps

If the TV is in "parental lock", then it will not respond to the buttons on the front of the TV. Get a cheap universal remote control, program it for RCA, turn the set on and go through the menu to unlock.
