Hello

Your TV has to be initilized. It should be retuned to get the channels memorized in its memory section. Then only you can get the channels stored. Hopes that you have its remote control hanset with you. Replace two new cells in it and proceed the folloing steps. Connect ariel to its back socket before doing these.

[1] Press power button on the front panel of your tv. The initial setup screen appears.

[2] Press Ch+ on the remote control handset or on the front panel of your TV to start auto program, or Ch_ button to exit.

The initial setup screen will appear each time you switch on the tv until you perform autoprogram.
To perform autoprogram again

[1] Press Menu button.

[2] Press to highlight Channel Menu

[3] Press Pr Dn button to hilight cable. Press [+] to select.

[4] Press Prog Up or Prog Dn to hilight On or Off according to how you connected your TV. Press [+] to select.

[5] Press Prg Dn to hilight autoprogram. Press [+] to search for channels.

[6] After autoprogram finishes, press "Menu" again to exit.


TO RESET THE TV TO FACTORY SETTINGS

[1] Turn TV on.

[2] Press and keep hold the "Reset' button on the remote control hanset.

[3] Press and release the "Power button" on the TV front panel. The TV will turn itsef off.

[4] Release "Reset Button" now from your hanset.

These are the processes to be done to either autoprogram or turn it to factory settings. Ok.

You will need to autoprogram the channels. If you have the remote you might be able to type in the channels you want and get there manually. If you don't have the remote you may be able to get into the menu to autoprogram from the front of the set.

I hope this helps.

pls autoprogram or add manually the channel lost.

You need to reprogram your TV if you do not have a cable box or satellite box, otherwise those are going to be the only channels that the unit will pick up. If you do have a cable box or satellite box, just hit 0-3 or 0-4 if you are using a coaxial wire. If no box is present, you can just go into the menu and hit autoprogram - select cable for direct cable from wall, and antenna for antenna. Note: this particular TV is going to need a box in another 5 weeks due to the DTV transition, so my solution will only carry you for another few weeks.

Hello,

On the original Sony remote control, try typing in a channel manually. Try pressing the numbers "0-4" or "0-5," and waiting for a moment. If the channel changes, then the TV needs to be autoprogrammed. Using the SOny remote control, go into the MENU (or HOME on some Sony remotes), and look for the initial setup screen. It will walk you through the process. The process is also in the original users manual, available on the www.SONY.com website.

Hope this helps you....

The easiest way to fix this is to do a master reset and let the TV reprogram ll of the channels. You must have the original Sony TV remote to do this. When you have the remote, find the circular area of the remote with four buttons in a circle around a center button.. Turn on the TV and Press and hold the top button (the Up button) of the 4 buttons arranged in a circle. Then, while holding down this Up button, press the power button ON THE TV (not the one on the remote) and release both buttons. The TV should now reset and come up and ask for a language choice. You choose the language using the 4 keys mentioned earlier (the top and bottom of the 4 keys for up and down and once you have the choice you want, press the button in the middle). After choosing the language, it will ask to autoprogram the channels. Choose yes and let it autoprogram and all of the channels should reappear.

Open main menu and select manual program. In this option check skip on/off option is there. Otherwise select autoprogram the channels are automatically stored, after completing autoprogram TV displays program edit option. In that you can choose your needs.

If you have a menu button on the front of the Tv, you could search for an autoprogram or channel search menu and select that. Otherwise a cheap universal remote might be needed. You also want to make sure it is selected to receive antenna and not cable channels.

Turn the set on, hook the cable directly to the TV, take the remote control and press 1 - 1 and if the TV tunes in channel 11 then your set is fine. If the TV was autoprogrammed when hooked to a cable box then the only channels that will be stored in memory are 3, maybe 4 and AUX. To correct this simply go back into the menu and look for the "autoprogram" option and perform the autoprogram while the cable is directly connected to the TV, without a cable box.
