When I try to retune TV to pick up new TV stations I get sound OK but a black screen with message invalid format.

are the remote batteries ok, fit a new set and retry , click on menu go to settings , click on country if asked, click on automatic tuning, make sure there is a good signal at the aerial ,it may take a while , to tune in all the stations.

Do a retune to this TV.

Press MENU button on the remote control and select
Install and Retune by using Left or Right button.
Press OK button and the following menu screen
will be displayed

Select Automatic Channel Scan (Retune) by using
Up or Down button and press OK button. Automatic
Channel Scan options will be displayed. You can select
options by using Up or Down and OK buttons.

Auto Channel Scan Menu Operation
Digital: Searches and stores aerial DVB stations.
Analogue: Searches and stores analogue stations.
Full: Searches and stores both analogue and aerial
DVB stations.

Whenever you select an automatic search type and
press OK button, a confi rmation screen will appear
on the screen. To start installation process, select
Yes, to cancel select No by using Left or Right
and OK button.

After auto channel scan type is set and selected
and confi rmed, installation process will start and
progress bar will move along. Press MENU button
to cancel process. In such a case, located channels
are not stored. The television will start to search for
all available stations. You must allow the television
to complete the search.

To restore missing channels, you need to retune your digital receiver (box or TV).

The retuning process runs a scan and finds all the available channels. Your box may have an Add New Channels option that you can use, but this may not pick up other changes such as channels being moved to a different multiplex or removed altogether.
How to retune

1. Switch on your digital box and/or TV.
2. Press Menu on the remote control.
3. Select the Setup or Installation option.
4. Select the 'First time installation' option (sometimes called 'Factory reset', 'Full retune' or 'Default settings').
5. Press OK if your equipment asks if you want to delete all your channels. Don't worry, this is normal.
6. If you are prompted for a code, try 0000 or 1234.
7. Channels will be automatically installed. This may take a few minutes and your equipment may shut down and restart.
8. After retuning, you will have to redo your Favourites list and other settings. If you retune a digital TV recorder, you also should reset future recordings.

Open the drop-down panel on the front of the set and push the recessed button using a pen or similar item. The retune screen will ask if you want to rotate the picture, press OK which brings up the retune screen iteself. Press OK for auto retune to start

You may lose some channels when you retune the TV as the channels have been rearranged. To locate them look at the EPG although you may still find that some channels are no longer available on FREEVIEW. See the following link for additional information

Ran into the same problem with this DVD player and my LG tv. Try this:
Open the DVD tray, with the DVD tray open press the HDMI select button until the proper resolution for your tv is illuminated, put the DVD back in, close the tray and try again. Simple fix -- worked beautifully for me.

Good luck

Have you tried to access the menu features and tried to retune the stations on digital, or are you hooked up for analog.
If you don't know about what i speak, give me a yell. [email protected] I believe my remote sensor card is bad. While this might explain why you can't turn yours off, it would not explain the blank picture. If the menu does show, i would think the picture tube is O.K. if the menu does not show, there are some other things to look at.
