Problem with black box appearing on tv screen

A rectangular black box keeps appearing on the tv screen, while using the tv. it will go away by pushing any button on the remote, but comes back.

    Tried what you suggested, but couldn't find it listed on the menu. We did change the batteries in the remote and so far it hasn't returned.

    I have te exact same problem. I do not know how to remove the black box, and I've hit just about all of the buttons on my remote as well as on the base of my t.v. I can't seem to remedy the problem.

Intermittantly there is a black rectangular box that appears on the screen for a few seconds then goes away. Our set is 4 years old. Kris 317-201-6643

Turn off close caption in tv, need to go to menu to turn off close caption function, that will solve your black rectangular box problem.

Try this:

In the menu go to CC and set the TV to CC1 as this is a text box appearing for captions. Hope this works!

This could be the result of a partly shorted vertical winding on the deflection yoak.Since the line is on an angle and not straight across.
