I have cable hook up through a normal cable and I can only get two channels how do you program the channels in on a jvc av 20fd24

hi well obiously you have a tuner problem that got to be replace witch is a common problem on JVC

Yes, with the Direct TV box it did all the tuning and your TV had only to be on one channel, normally ch 3 or ch 4. Now that it is not there any more your TV tuner must do the work. You now will have to tell the TV to search for channels. Use your remote and TV menu to do this. You will be able when the search is complete to see some of the cable channels but other premium cable channels you won't be able to see without a cable box.

On the JVC remote there should be a setup button. Sometimes they call this Main. Regardless, once in setup you'll need to change the input from cable to antenna. This should solve your problem.

You probably have to find your original remote to the set and go through setup in your menu. On most sets, there will be a menu item which will allow you to switch from Cable mode to Air mode. If you have no Cable connected, then you must set tuner in Air mode.

If you are using an external device to run on channel three, then try this:
Make sure device (rather it's a vcr or game console), is hooked up to your Antenna Input connector. Also, some of these devices will have a small hidden switch on back that says 3 and 4. Move the switch to 3 position. Turn on device. Go into TV menu and do a Channel scan. This should auto program any device hooked up to the TV antenna input jack to channel three.

Keep in mind that you may not receive anything by Feburary of this year without an HD converter box to tune in channels with and outdoor antenna.

what you need to do is go into the menu and select the channel program, so the tv will find any channels that are coming through the cable line. so make sure the input is set to cable and tv.

boomergal, do you have satelite cable or directv or dish?

Hello,
You can find some information about the V-Chip here at this link on page 19,20 & 21.

It doesn't tell you exactly how to reset but it may be of help to you in whatever you need to know.

Thanks,

default, return product, or is the dvd a burnt or ruind or out of region disc. many problems occur with this.

you are not specific as to programming cable or satellite .if you have cable tv with a cable box there is no need to program tv channels.the tv should be left on channel 3.check the back of the cable box & tv it may also be connected thru rca/s-video or componant cables meaning the tv should be on a line in/source ,or video input. for a tv without a cable box
you can do the auto or manual programming. no need to be on channel 3. if you have satelllite tv you need the box to hook up to your tv.you cannot bypass this box unlike cable tv.also check the back of the box for the other possible connections
good luck
