Lost remote control in the process of moving but, i have TV and cable connected and all i have on my screen is the settings for selecting language. i cannot turn channel or go to different outputs. my question is, is there any way that i can select language without using standard remote control that came with my TV?

Most language options on electronics are found under "Settings"

No idea if you can select you unspecified TV to Cable. Start pushing buttons, some may leed you to the onscreen menu.


So, maybe you can buy a uiversal remote, at nearest retail store or from some websites. Just check it's user's manual if code for your TV is listed.

1. Press TV to select the TV mode.
2. Press POWER to turn on the TV. The STARTING SETUP function
begins and the language setup menu appears on the screen.
Press upArrow (^) or downArrow (v)to select your desired
language, then press ENTER.
3. Press (^) or (v) to select TV or
CABLE, then press ENTER.
4. Press (^) or (v) to select START, and
then press ENTER, which
starts the AUTO SETUP.
Note:
To cancel the setup and return to the regular TV screen, press (^)
or (v) to select CANCEL and press ENTER.
5. When the AUTO SETUP is complete, the regular TV screen
appears.
Notes:
• AUTO SETUP of channels may take 15-30 minutes to complete,
depending on your regional cable service.
• To cancel the AUTO SETUP and return to the regular TV screen,
press EXIT.

Best is to switch off the TV . Disconnect all the cables even from wall outlet. Wait for sometime. Let it reset itself. Connect all the cables. Switch on the power. Use the control on the TV to set the TV.

Hello
Do connection to the antena if you wants to set the TV auto tuned.
During this initial setup, you can perform the following:

1 Select the language for the on-screen display text.
2 Select HOME or Retail mode. [Here you have to select "Home" mode if the set displays "Retail"

3 Connect cable or antenna, then select OK to run Auto
Program

• If you have cable and antenna available, please connect cable first.

• IMPORTANT: Auto Program is only effective when cable or

antenna is connected. If you cancel Auto Program before completion some channels may not be
available.

4 Auto Program will scan for available channels from the signal source directly connected to

the TV's CABLE/ANTENNA input and may take sometime to complete the process. Follow
the help text provided on the screen to run Auto Program.
OK.

Hello

Check first if the Remote Control hanset emits infrared rays or not. Infrared rays are invisioblw to us. There is an easy way to check it. if you have a cellphone with camera option, set it to camera mode, and place the remote hanset against its lens about 1 feet away or so, and press each button on the remote control. You can see the infrared indication on the screen of your cellphone.
If it is Ok, just reset the remote control.

You might need to reset the remote: remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60
seconds. Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) program the remote again.

Check also for

Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a

clear path.

• Maybe the remote isn't aimed directly at the component (DVD, TV, VCR) that you're trying to operate.

• Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so remote will control TV.

• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note,
if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)

How to Use the Remote Control to Complete

the Initial Setup

The technical term is "Navigation"- how you move through the

on-screen menus. The method is the same throughout the menu

screens: highlight your choice and select it.

To highlight a menu item, press the arrow buttons on the remote

to highlight one of the items listed on the screen. Use the up or

down arrow button to move up or down. Use the right or left

arrow button to move right or left.

To select the item that you've highlighted, press OK.

Note: Highlighted means that the menu item stands out from other
menu items on the list (appears darker, brighter, or a different color).

Turn on the TV

Press TV on the remote, or press POWER on the TV's front panel.

Note: Pressing the TV button not only turns on the TV, but puts the remote

into TV mode. "TV mode" means that the buttons on the remote control

operate the TV's functions.

Complete the Initial Setup

The menu system in your TV allows the TV's features to work

properly. The first time you turn on your TV, the SETUP screen

appears with Language highlighted. The default language is

English. To choose another language, press the right arrow
button on the remote.

If these doesn't work, the infrared sensor inside your Tv has got damaged and should be replaced. OK.

During a recent move the remote was lost. I have the 6420FF in my son's room and trying to set up dvd and wi console set up, but cannot adjust tv via menu button on tv. Is there any way to set-up game system and/or dvd without remote?

It is always more difficult to operate the menu features of a tv using the manual buttons on the tv. I recommend you unplug the ac cord of the tv from the wall for a day while you go out and buy a universal remote control. After plugging the tv back in and turning it on initially most television on screen prompts immediately direct you to the set up menu which includes setting the language.

Follow the instructions on the universal remote and program the remote to the tv using the power button on the remote to determine if you have reached the right code. It will then be possible to operate the menu features of the tv via the remote control and thus change the language back to english.

Access the customer menu, select cable vs. ant then go to auto programming and let it do it's magic.
