Tv is stuck in video mode

My tv is about 3 years old and it won't change channels with universal remote or button on the tv ,the remote does turn the power off and on and also scrolls through the menu ,in the menu options like channel scan are in red and i can't highlight them to change or activate them ,all i can do is change language.my ps2 plays fine on it because its in video mode,would a different univeral remote help or just a waste of money? i'm using the ps2 universal remote now. please help

I have the exact same problem. I don't want to get a whole new remote I just want to know how to fix it.

I have a DVD & a VCR hooked up to our Sanyo Model DS27820. Our company played with the Tv trying to get a DVD to work, but now we have a blue screen with Video 2 on it . The remote will not work and when I press Menu on the Tv the Audio,-Inital Channel,-Antenna,- Ch Search,- & Ch Scan Memory are all in red and I cannot get to them to see what is on them or to unlock it. The rest of the commands are in green. All the connections seem to be in the correct order on the back of the TV. How do I correct this problem? Reset twice on the remote does not work.

The best thing to do is get an original replacement remote and then you will absolutely be able to enter the menu and perform the autoprogram.

Cannot get channels with remote stuck on AV2/3/4/5/6

The TV button on the remote is to select TV mode for the controller. STB, VCR & DVD do the same for their respective devices.

The A/V should select the external inputs by itself. If not try each of the Panasonic codes in turn:

0011, 0021, 0027,0029,0039,0072, 0102

Enter the codes as follows:

Press and hold TV for 3 seconds until the TV key flashes and then stays on.

Enter one of the codes (above)

TV key should flash twice. (if not go back to the beginning)

Try pressing the buttons on the controller. If all the functions do not work, try the next code.

Universal remote works for basics but won't change input

Rich,

good day , what button can you see infront of your TV screen?

Not familiar with this model but if you'll manage to locate a button marked as "TV/AV" or "AV" press this button until it the display switch to A/V mode (audio/video). Or if this is a really old model, from Tuner mode or channel model. set the channel station to 1 then press the " - channel " button and see if it will change from tuner mode to A/V mode

cheers,
mark

Tv does not respond to channel changes

The simpliest solution is always the best - I called the cable service provider; they reported an outage and quickly remedied the situation - but also tried to sell me their digital TV package. Thanks for your response.

I am stuck on channel 2

some tv's default to channel 2 after being unplugged.since it is a older tv ,the buttons on the remote and the tv maybe worn down.on the tv itself try pushing the buttons down a liitle harder. if you have aux or line in/video inputs,scroll down on the channel button to log into a aux channel for the dvd player.as for the remote try buying a cheap universal remote to see if that works.
good luck

Sanyo stuck on video mode

Yippie, I figured out a solution that worked!!! I have a univeral remote from comcast, on that remote near the bottom left is a small button that says (input) tv/vcr, press that one time and whala!! the tv video screen was gone, I had to manually change the channel from the tv channel button on the unit. once I changed the channel to 3, my universal remote worked... the button is the second one from the bottom left... I was on hold with sanyo for a long time and just kept trying on my own, so good luck!!!!

Video mode

I went to add/delete channels in my menu on my symphonic and it let me scroll through the channels, make sure you have them all set to add (by pushing the volume buttons to make them light blue instead of purple)....after adding all of your channels (or just the one if you use dish) just power the tv off while on a channel and then power back on and you should have tv.
