Menu, select buttons not working

The menu, select, buttons on top of my tv are not working. I don't have the original remote for the tv. The only menu my remote lets me get to is the Source menu (cable/video/s-video) menu and I can't really make any changes in that menu with the remote I have.

Try getting a universal remote that would let you get into the menu and change the settings you are thrying to change.

I have a Sharp LCD COLOUR TV]MODEL LC-42XD1E I cannot get any channels.

Usually, the Menu options are limited if the current input is not set to the antenna. If you have the original remote, press the Input Source button on the remote (it's to the right of 0 and below 9). Use the up/down arrows to select your desired source. Press OK when this source is highlighted. Unfortunately the LC-42XD1E does not have an input button among the buttons on the top of the rear of the TV. (Similarly the on-screen Menu > Connections > Input Select sub-menu doesn't allow you to change to the TV input.) So if you do not have the original remote, you will need one that has a code (and button) that matches that command. Once you change the source, see if you can find the menu option for Setup or if the DTV menu button works.

The manual for the LC-42XD1E is available from Sharp: https://www.sharp.se/cps/rde/xbcr/documents/documents/om/11_lcd-tv/LC37-42XD1E_OM_GB.pdf . You can see the buttons for the TV shown on page 5 (page 7 of the PDF); the remote control buttons are shown on page 7. Selecting the correct Input is shown on page 10.

I hope this helps.

Acessing Menu with universal remote

We used a One4All model URC3021BOO remote. We programmed BOTH the TV function and the DVD/vcr button with code 0807. To access the menu PRESS TV then MENU button then DVD/VCR button will allow you to change menu functions using left and right and select buttons. *TV button will access Menu screen BUT NO menu functions. * DVD/VCR button will NOT access menu screen but WILL control menu functions if menu is already displayed. May work with other sharp products, or other universal remotes? These original (RRMCG1330PESA) remotes run 38.00+ to buy new so try this FIRST!

I have a TruFlat RCA model # 27F520T have lost original remote and FPA lock is on how do I unlock without original remote? Dish universal remote not working to unlock tv, it will pull up menu but cannot...

Try this -

Press menu for main menu.
Press CH + or CH - to highlight preferences.
Press "OK" to enter preferences submenu.
Press CH + or CH - to high light "FPA"
Press VOL + or VOL - to turn the FPA on or off.
Press MENU repeatedly to exit.
Back to normal

FPA stands for Front Panel Lock. It makes it so kids don't push all the buttons on the front of your TV. The power button on the TV will still work and the remote will still function as normal.
