Question about RCA 14F512T 14" TV

2 Answers

FPA Lock I have an fpa lock on my television. I am unable to change from channel to channel or use the volume and menu buttons on the tv. I do not have an rca remote control, however, I do have a substitute remote ("one for all") that will not allow me to use the menu. I've tried to change the settings with the menu selections but I cannot get the remote to work either. I'm thinking that this has something to do with the fpa lock but I'm definetely not sure. How can I remove the lock off? Is it a simple procedure?

    fpa lock is on lost origonal remote

  • neighbor40 Mar 17, 2008

    I found a RCA remote, got it set up so it will turn the set on and off, and change the channels and the volume - but it still won't give me entry to the menu. I push the TV button, then the menu -nothing. I push the cable button - menu - nothing. It is not the remote that came with the set - that one is gone - but it is RCA. Any further suggestions? This is for a neighbor who is a disabled Vietnam vet. I think the Closed Caption or the SAP button got pushed somehow, and then the FPA lock - so he is getting Spanish on non-spanish stations and some other weird auto overlay.

After doing a little research, it looke like the front panel lock , can only be removed from the parental control menu using your remote. If your universal remote does not get you into the menu, see if you can borrow a friends rca remote long enough to get you into your menu & remove the fpa.

First of all, you must ahve its original remote control to unlock FPA lock. If you have it, go through the folloing steps.

Turn off fpa lock without remote
Install an IR Remote App in android phone. The app link below worked for me to remove the fpa lock on. Configure the App for your RCA TV. Set TV as Device type, RCA as the brand. and choose the model (e.g., TV 20 F420T) also, select the Alternate IR Driver.

All the options of the command may appear in a list form. Close that and an actual remote with buttons should appear.

Then Power your tv will turn ON. Press the Menu. Pressing the Channel Down/Up Button to navigate to Preferences. Press OK button on the screen.. Then Navigate to FPA Lock. Press OK again. THis will turn the FPA Lock to Off.

Then you could use your on-TV buttons ZappIR Universal IR Remote Android Apps on Google Play

I hit the FPA and now i am screwed how do i fix this it I cant get into my tv
Child Lock allows you to lock the buttons on the front of the TV.
Press MENU to see the main menu.
Press CH+ or CH- to highlight
Preferences.
Press OK to enter the Preferences
submenu.
Press CH+ or CH- to highlight FPA
(Front Panel) Lock.
Press VOL+ or VOL- to turn on or off
FPA Lock. Choose On to disable all the
buttons on the front of the TV. FPA Lock
On will appear on the TV screen each
time you press buttons on the front of
the TV. You can still operate the TV with
the remote control. You can still use the
POWER button on the front of the TV, but
only to turn off the TV (not on). Set FPA
Lock to Off to cancel this feature so you
can use the buttons on the front of the TV
again.
Press MENU repeatedly to exit the
menu or the menu will automatically
disappear within a few seconds if no
buttons are pressed on the remote
control.
I hope this helps and good luck!

FPA lock settings, No remote, can not power on TV
If you forget your password you can reset it. Make sure the TV is off. Simultaneously press and hold VOL< on the TV?s front panel and CLEAR on the remote for approximately 5 seconds. Enter a new password next time you access the PARENTAL CONTROL menu. Front Panel Lock 1. From the PARENTAL CONTROL menu, press the up or down arrow to highlight Lock Fr. Panel. 2. Press the right or left arrow to turn on (box has check mark) or off (box doesn?t have check mark) front panel lock. Of course if you don't have a remote that can bring up the menu I don't know how this can be done.

RCA SDTV Truflat TV works with antennae but not with cable. I get a blue screen and "no signal". Cable box and cables work fine with other TV and the channel up and down buttons on TV work fine on Menu screens. Hook up cable box to RCA TV, change setup menu to CATV input and scan and no channels are found. Only blue screen with "No signal".
