There is a post about this issue on the AVI blog. There are several people that have had the issue. No one claims a fix for it though. Seems to be related to HDMI cables and how close they are to the remote extender runs.

going to have to navigate with the buttons go into source and change from tv to hdmi you want

You can't connect a remote control to another remote control, that's not how it works. All remotes that are specific to one device, only have that one code programmed in and only work that device. The exception is cable box and satellite box remotes which can be programmed to work for the box as well as the viewing television for switching on and off, volume and channel selection. https://www.google.com/search?q=talk+talk+remote&rlz=1C1QJDB_enCA643CA644&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Have a read of this https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..

I had that problem once. Read online somewhere to change the projector bulb and watched someone on YouTube do it. Straight forward and quite simple to do yourself. You can order the bulb in the metal cage it comes in and swap it out that way; never touching the bulb, but that's more costly. Even more costly if you bring in a TV tech to do it. The video I watched - the guy just got the bulb only and used the existing metal cage just unhooking the old one and putting in the new one. I ordered just the bulb itself off of Amazon for about $40 and did it myself the same way he did. If you do it this way just be sure not to touch the bulb surface with your hand as skin oils can cause the bulb to burn out much quicker. I used/wore a 10 cent pair of disposable latex gloves when I handled the bulb. The panel were the bulb is located is on the front of the TV, near the lower left side. Very simple to do. Just google/Youtube the model number and you should find videos on how to do it yourself.

The connection for the HDMI connection from the cable box to the TV is the main cause of either a pink or a purple screen. This can be solved here by following these instructions The first step is to make sure that both of the sides of the HDMI cables are properly plugged in as firmly. The second step is to power-cycle the All of the digital unit by removing the power cord from the unit and from the wall.

It might, but this is more likely the outcome. https://www.fixya.com/support/r29790007-repairing_own_television ..

Are you talking about inputs can't be changed?

Hi Marvin, I'd suspect main board issues

It's time for a new TV Jeff, parts will be almost impossible to find and if you are lucky to find expensive.

Yes it does. https://www.nodevice.com/user-manuals/tv/hitachi/42pd6600/154119

Bad main or EEPROM

A LOCAL TV REPAIR SHOP WOULD BE THE FIRST PLACE I WOULD CHECK

Chances are you have something bad with the tuner, like a bad IC

I'd try replacing the main board

if problem and brand new bring back under warranty or exchange for working one

Generally this is a tcon issue however if the set worked ok before the main board failed I'd have to think you have a bad replacement main, make sure the LVDS contacts are clean
