rolling of picture can be controlled by v.hold or vertical hold on your tv. some tv has has this control on the back side. if the control is there & it is not controlling the rolling of picture, that means the control is bad & needs replacement. to get ch 3 back: go to menu & try to find SKIP function, go to ch 3 & put off SKIP.

hi
you need to reprogramm the remote

There is no code for polaroid tv's for that remote so you will have to do a PowerScan through all the codes to see which one will work. The procedure to do this is below.

Step 1: Manually turn off the device you wish to program (TV, VCR, DVD)

Step 2: Press and hold the appropriate device key (TV, VCR, DVD) until the red LED illuminates. This indicates that the remote is in programming mode.

Step 3: Press and release the power button. The LED flashes once and stays ON. Indicating that the remote is in PowerScan mode.

Step 4: Press either CH+ or CH- button repeatedly until the device switches on. The CH+ button searches upward in the code list while the CH- button searches downward.

Step 5: When the device turns on, press and release the OK button to store the new code and exit.
NOTE: If you press the CH+ or CH- again after the device turns on, the device will not be programmed and you will need to repeat steps 1 - 5.

Step 6: Press any other operable button (VOL+ or VOL-). If the device responds, no further programming is required. If the device does not respond then repeat steps 1 - 5.

If you try scanning through all the codes and none of them work then the remote is not campatible with your tv.

Not sure about this particular TV, but usually, you select inputs by channel selector. Go to Channel 1 on TV not Cable or dish, Use the channel selector button on the set itself, go down from 1. You should see somthing like Aux or Line, then aux 2 or Line 2 etc.. eventually (3 clicks or so) rolling around to ch 115. But usually between the highest ch on the set and ch 1 are the auxillary input selections.

is your main antenna / cable (or cable box) connected to tv/monitor cable in...the monitor is on Ch 3...do you have dvd player or vcr...these devices must be set to cable / ch 3 also...and hook up to aux 1 or tv 2 depending on the jacks avail on the back of tv (please note if you are using a dvd recorder premium ch like HBO is and will be scramble)

Check power supply and main controller for bad caps.

Please post back what you find.

i had the same problem. i opened the panel in the back of the tv (3 screws) and opened the aluminum panel (3 screws). there's a red led light located at the bottom left corner of the top board. to the right of the led light, you will find this thing with 4 switches. i turned the two bottom switches "burn" and "epmw" to on. so far tv have been working.

it come from TV itself because a difference synchronization IF YOU HAVE SUITABLE KNOB IN TV TRY TO MOVE IT A LITTLE IF NOT YOU NEED A TECHNICIAN TO SEE BOOTH A TV & DVD

Slide top button on remote to tv. Press and hold mute and select button until the green light on the remote blinks twice. Then press 991. Then press 1. Then press the tv power button once. If the tv doesn't respond hit the channel up button on the remote. If that works press select to store the code and slide the switch back to the left. If it doesn't work keep hitting channel up until it does. It can take up to 30 minutes but it works.

I just got a new directv receiver...dvr....the codes for polaroid were not listed on the unit but were included in the booklet that came with it. They are as follows....10765,10865,11262,11276,11314,11316,
11326,11327,11328,11341,11498,11523,11991,11992
These were all listed for Polaroid. Hope this helps.
