Chset stuck on our old emerson TV chset and channel number is stuck on TV how do i turn it off

with the set turned off --unplug it for a few minutes and plug back in which may allow it to reset itself

the tv is shorting out. means its probably old and needs to be replaced. if its not very old its just got a faulty part. get ahold of manufacturer emerson technical service and they will tell you your options.

Does it look like this?

Unfortunately, the remote you picked up may be incompatible with your current TV. (I found older universal remotes didn't work with my newest set that had a digital tuner. These were remotes that worked with ~20 year old tvs (analog only). Similarly a new remote might not work with an older TV. Then you get stuck with the result you have.)

Remotes.com has a substitute remote that has all of the functions of the original remote: http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=Search&o=c&uid=0&m=EWC19T3&uuid=12792355576670
This one will work.

Your TV has Select, volume and channel change buttons on the front of the TV. So a tedious way to deal with the problem is to move to the TV to change channels. The Volume controls are under the DVD tray. Select (toggle TV/VCR, DVD, and external input) is the first one on the left under the VCR cassette slot. The channel up/down is to the right of the Select.

I wish that I could be of more help.

(However, you might try the Philips Remote Code Finder: http://www.urc.philips.com/ and select your country and click on the right arrow. Then find your remote model and see if you can get a single number for your TV. On the newer remotes I looked at, it only returned a code of 0917 for All Emerson devices.)

I am not sure of the model remote but, on the newer TW remotes you would press tv then press and hold set up until the tv light blinks twice. then enter 991 on the number pad and then press power once. then press the channel up button until the tv turns off. as soon as it turns off - press the power button and if it turns on then you have the right code. If it doesn't turn on then press channel down until it turns on. either way, when the tv turns on then press set up again to lock that code in. Hope that helps.

I have the same problem with my Emerson VCR. When the ADD button is flashing, just press the menu button to exit the menu. It will add. That's the only thing I know to do. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Hi,

Call 1 800 Remotes or go to www.remotes.com. In the middle of the page type in the model number which in your case would be VT1920. I believe the original remote is not available anymore but you can get a substitute remote for that TV. Also have you considered getting a universal remote? Those work on any TV with any component. Try the first two suggestions and hopefully you will find what you are looking for...

Hope this helps,
Sincerely,
Raelyn

Done - channel scan put the TV back in the correct mode

Try with the channel up/down on the TV or look inside the configuration menu, if your set has one.
