Menu, select buttons not working

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.

Hello
If your TV has no menu button on its front panel, there is no other way than buying a universal or original remote control to this set.

Try this -

1. Press menu for main menu.
2. Press CH + or CH - to highlight preferences.
3. Press "OK" to enter preferences submenu.
4. Press CH + or CH - to high light "FPA"
5. Press VOL + or VOL - to turn the FPA on or off.
6. Press MENU repeatedly to exit.
7. 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.

Regards, Tony
