Auxiliary button on tv remote (I believe) needs off and I can't get figure out how...

I have an older Zenith TV... I've had it probably 10 years. I've had this problem happen before but I can't remember how I fixed it. The tv remote should be the only remote I use to turn the tv on/off... the cable remote is used of for volume and channels. Now, the red Aux. button lights up on my tv remote when I push most any button, I can't turn my tv on or off with the remote, and the picture flips around so bad I can't watch it, sometimes the bottom half is at the top of the screen. Sound skips out too, quite bad. I believe the last time this happened I some how managed to get that little red Aux button turned off on my actual tv remote and then all was fine. If I remember right. And if I do, I certainly don't remember how I did it. Please help... I'm lonely without my tv. Thank you so much in advace.

The remote should have TV, VCR, AUX and maybe CABLE buttons at the top, one of which will light up when any button is pressed. Since it is a universal remote, the button at top lights up to let you know what mode it is in. If the AUX button lights up when any button is pressed, it means the remote is currently set to the AUX mode. To set it back to TV, simply press the TV button at the top. This puts the remote back in the TV mode and the TV button should now light up when any button is pressed. If that works and you are using a cable box with that set, then make sure the TV is on channel 3 by pressing 3 ENTER.

I have a universal remote that is able to control some functions on my tv. I am trying to get the tv into auxiliary mode to connect it to my dvd player. How do I get it into auxiliary mode?

Usually the tv will switch automatically to the correct reception mode as soon as it detects an input into the scart socket.

I have and have had a number of tv sets and they all do this, though I do remember many years ago needing to select the AV channel. I believe these days the AV channel is for the other audio/video input sockets.

I suggest you connect your dvd player to the tv, switch on the tv and then press "play" on the dvd.
You should be able to enjoy viewing without further effort.

If you change channel on the tv to check what is on, the dvd reception will be lost. To save the trouble of disconnecting the scart lead and reconnecting I use a manual scart distribution box so simply pressing the button provides the required interruption so dvd viewing can be resumed.
