32" rca picture stretched

What is the problem with your RCA TV? Provide some more details, please.

I got this from the manual. Page 26.

Press MENU to see the main menu.

Press CH+ or CH- to highlight preferences.

Press OK to enter the preference submenu.

Press CH+ or CH- to highlight Par. (Parental) Control.

Press OK. Enter Password will appear on the screen.

If you want to set a new code, go to steps 6-8 directly. (You can press the number buttons to enter a four-digit code. The code "0000" is the default password. If you have not set a code previously, then "0000" is the code.)

Resetting Your Password

Press VOL+ on the remote and the CHANNEL + on the front of the TV at the same time. Enter New Pwd. will appear on the screen. (You must be in the Enter Password screen when attempting this.)

Press the number buttons to enter a four-digit code. The code will appear on the screen as you enter it.

Press OK to save the code.

Press MENU repeatedly to exit the menu or the menu will automatically disappear within a few seconds if no buttons are pressed on the remote control.

If you need more, get the manual here:

Pages 25 through 30 are all about lock and channel/show blocking.

Bad picture tube

my toshiba remote or any remote doesnt work?

I have the same issue, we've had to change our bulb three times in less than two years. now we have 61" expensive paper weight. Our current bulb is less than 6 months old. The TV is only 2 years old and like i said this is our third bulb.

the blue light blinks 4 times. you get sound. then a few minutes the the picture returns... then it goes out, and the cycle goes on.

A solution to this would be greatly appreciated.

RCA Entertainment Series 32" Plus Gold, GEMSTAR, xbox ready has been in the shop twice so far. Transformer replaced and 6 months later the picture suddenly had horizontal white lines that gradually spaced apart more from top to bottom and it had a gray hue and fuzzy, but I still watched it for 3 months that way. Today I turned it on and about a minute later I heard a loud crackling sound coming from the back and the picture disappeared, screen went black. Is it worth fixing again?

This set is not digital tuning and you would need a converter for off-the-air reception. You can get full specs and manual downloads from RCA's site:

Bad tuner.......they are electronically divided in sections called
bandwidths, i.e. 2-6 , 7-13 so-on.........T.

Sounds like the Filter Cap is shorting.

FIRST THING TO TRY IS RESET-unplug AC cord for a few minutes,hours or overnight==let me know if you need more help.T.
