Have to manually turn on tv when turning on digital converter box

Unfortunately, you cannot convert an analog TV to digital simply by changing settings. The transition from analog to digital involves hardware changes. If you have an older Sharp TV without a built-in digital tuner, you may need an external digital converter box or consider upgrading to a newer TV with a built-in digital tuner to receive digital broadcasts.

Question edited for clarity and order, 'make model (what it is)'.

On the television remote you have to select the Source or Input. Each press will take you through the HDMI ports and all other signal inputs like co-ax. Your LA channel is likely via the co-ax indoor aerial.

There is no difference between a "digital" and analog antenna. Either antenna will capture the signal. What you need is a digital converter box to convert the over air digital signal to the older analog type signal your TV needs. You connect the antenna to the digital converter box, and the digital converter box to the TV.
Several years ago, the US government forced peopel to buy digital converter boxes or newer TVs that could pick up the digital signal. Either get a digital converter box or a new TV.

This may depend on the signal source of the TV. If you are watching OTA TV (or your TV is interpreting the CC from the cable or satellite signal), then use the CC button on the remote. Alternatively, depending on your exact model Hitachi TV, try using the menu to find a Tools or Options sub-menu and then turn off the CC from there. This could be under a different menu item. If you add a comment with your model number, I'll be glad to give the exact menu steps.

If you have a set-top box (cable, satellite, digital-to-analog converter box, DVD recorder), the captions may be turned on at this source. Then you will need to disable the captions from that box. With a converter box, press the CC button on the converter's remote or enter the menus for that box.

With a Dish TV set-top box, press Menu on the Dish remote, go to Properties (item 9). Click Select and then go down to Closed Caption (item 6), and press Select again. The first item in this sub-menu lets you turn on and off the captions. Press the left button and then up or down arrow followed by Select to change the setting. For other sources, check the instructions for that device or add a comment with the specific source for a solution for that device.

I hope this helps.

(the Dish CC procedure is for the box I have to deal with; I can't guarantee that updates/model changes have not changed the procedure.)

If you push the volume button on set does it show on screen?

My guess would be the sound may be turned down on the box or tv or maybe in the TV menu the speakers may be turned off.

Does not sound (pardon the pun) like a circuit repair but like an error.

Check all audio settings or options first in the set and then the box.

Ur free air DTV converter box have problem taking in the programs codes belong to ur tv,belong to the remote.Turn the converter box off/on to reboot ur DTV converter box.Read ur owner manual,re enter ur tv codes,belong to ur tv.U tv should be up and running again.

Use cbl/sat button. Your remote might use more or less than 4 digits. Use 749 or 00749. It'll probably work. It worked for me.

You'll need to program your remote control for your TV. To do this, ensure that your TV brand is one that can be controlled by the remote (a listing is in the owner's manual). Turn on your TV, then press and hold the TV Power button on the remote and press the Channel (CH) ^ or v buttons one or more times until the TV turns off. I hope this helps.

From GUEST: I found this solution in the manual and will perform this task again to see if I can get the tv will be re-recognized again. Give this a try, too.


Remote will not turn on or shut off the TV.
• You must program the converter box remote in order to control your TV power button.
• To program the remote control:

1. Determine if the TV is a model that can be controlled by the remote control. See "Controllable TV brands" on page 17 in the manual.
2. Turn on the TV.
3. While you press and hold TV POWER on the remote control, press CH ^ or CH v one or more times until the TV turns off. Each time you press one of these buttons, the remote control sends a manufacturer code (between 1 and 45) to the TV.
