Question about Zenith C27A24T 27" TV

1 Answer

Black box on screen

About 14 seconds after turning on my tv, a black rectangle covers most of the lower half of the screen. If I turn the tv off and back on again I can see the whole image (for about 14 seconds). This happens when watching tv or dvd. When changing channels the box will sometimes disappear for a few seconds. When fast-forwarding a dvd it will disappear until I resume normal play.

On your remote should be a button called TV caption or text. Turn off the closed caption as someone hit it and turned it on by accident. If its not on your remote, then it is in the menu. Good Luck Ps Please dont forget to rate this thread.

Toshiba big tv. Comes on fine nice picutre. about 10 seconds after turn on a "black rectangle" appears in the lower half of the screen
Chances are it's just the closed captioning is turned on and set for "text" mode. Use the remote to go through the caption settings until it's turned off and that should clear up the box.

I've written a tip that explains what's happened and how to take care of the problem.

Toshiba 32AF45 Black Rectangle Issue
go into your menu and find closed caption, someone has accidently set the closed caption mode to text, when the on screen display of channel or volume goes away the box appears. turn off the closed caption feature or switch it to something other than "text" mode, and your box will go away.

The box you're seeing is the "closed caption' box. You need to use the remote and disable CC mode on it, and the box will go away :)

Large Black rectangle on bottom half of screen
My mother-in-law had this problem on a Quasar for two years before she finally mentioned it. The rectangle is a text box for closed captioning or for a demonstation list of features, but without the text. I restored the factory presets and poof... problem solved.

Look in the manual and find how to restore the factory settings - it will probably be some weird combination of buttons that you would never guess. On her set, which has a built-in VCR, it was simultaneously pressing "play" and "FF" (on the set, not the remote) for five seconds until the set powered down. Yours will probably be something different but equally odd. That should get rid of the black rectangle. Then you go through the initial setup and you're back in business.

Black Rectangle on lower half of TV screen.
Turn off the closed captioning feature. If a channel or program doesn't provide the captioning, all you get is the black box. Just find the menu page for that and change the setup.
