Question about Philips Magnavox 13MT143S 13" TV

Scrolling menu option on screen

When plugged in to wall, the tv is already on and on the screen is a scrolling advertisement of the menu options. it cannot be turned on or off manually or with the remote, only by unplugging it. is it trash or repairable? thanks so much for your input. my tv is not exactly the above model, it's probably 1995 or so pr1310c122.

ON the front panel of your TV, try pushing VOL-UP and VOL-Down at the same time. I've had this happen several times with Magnavox TV's. Stargazer

How do you tune in a sense 51 - 19dvdw tv to channels

First check your aerial.
If other devices such as PVRs or other TVs can receive a signal then the Sense 51-19 should be OK also

Turn on the TV.
Press the "TV/.AV" button until the letters "DVB" (Digital Video Broadcast) appear on top right of screen.
Wait until patterned blue screen is displayed and the message "No Signal" is shown.
Press "SYS MENU" 3 times
"General Menu" should be displayed with Language option in highlight.
Press the "CH+" button once to move the highlight to the "Reset" option.

Press the "TV/TXT-DVB MENU" (this has the letters "SET" engraved on the button itself.

The TV will mute and a sub-menu will be displayed in the top left of screen.

Use the "CH+" or "CH-" to scroll to the desired option.

The store demo mode is stuck on my insignia tv. the user guide says go to menu and then setup and select plug & play. however the plug and play option is grey and it wont let me select it.

Are you using an HDMI cable? Go to input and select TV. Then you should be able to access the Plug & Play option and be able to turn off the Demo Mode.

Tv appears to be stuck in auto-detect mode

All I can suggest is press down and hold your menu button on the remote and roll around in circles.Also try it with the menu button on the TV.It definitely sounds like it is being pushed down enough to be stuck.If that does not work please write back and in the meantime I will research it a little further.Bought in March huh?90 day waranty too I bet?How long has this been going on?If it does not work,I am also providing a link to Samsung to contact them.You will need probably model number and serial number.If you have the receipt,registered it,or have a credit statement to show when you bought it,and you are really persistent,they will usually do something about it.Samsung is supposed to be one of the best TV's too.I am surprised by this issue.Good luck!

If you have an iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod (iPod with video):

Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it.
Scroll up one menu item. This should be Settings.
Press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
Press the Center button to select Language.

Select your preferred language from the list.

If you have an older iPod with color display (including iPod photo)

Scroll to the fourth menu item in the screen and press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
Press the Center button to select Language.
Select your preferred language from the list.

If your iPod has a monochrome display (black and white):

Scroll to the third menu item in the screen and press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
Press the Center button to select Language.
Select your preferred language from the list.

If the instructions above don't enable you to change the language on your iPod, try using the "Reset All Settings" option at the bottom of the Settings menu. If the Reset All Settings option does not work, you can restore your iPod back to factory condition and reselect the display language.
