SOURCE: My channels don't come in

Boxes can be a pain. Do you have a Video or Av button on the box that you can try and press.

Sounds like TV is set up Ok otherwise the guide image would not go on the screen. My mother in Laws digital box often gives me curry. (first thing to advise - never buy mother in law technology - the old bag will call your cell phone at all hours to figure out why it isnt working - second words of advise - never give mother in law cell phone number)

First thing to do simply unplug the bloody thing from the power socket to reset it.

Failing this It is often the video mode outputs on the box that are not set up properly. Even though the startup image and guide comes on unless the correct video image output is set up properly you will not be able to view the TV.

SOURCE: My remote won't set to

Hello
You might have a cellphone with camera option. Set the cellphone co cemera mode, and place the remote control at about 1 feet away from its camera lens, and press each button on your remote control. Remote control emits infrared rys as we press each button, but can't be detected by human eye. Electronic cameras can detect it. If there is any infrared ray emission from your remote control you will see its image on the camera screen for each button press to your remote control. If there is image and still the Tv doesn't respond to it, The TVs' infrared snsor inside has damaged and should be replaced. If there isn't any image; check the battery contacts of the remote battery compartment first. Clean these contacts by using a piece of corborandum paper or with the tip of a razor blade. Improper battery contacts, due to rust and dust to these contacts will prevent the battery supply voltage to enter into the remote contro.
Still it doesn't work at all, the remote control is damged and should be replaced. Contact the nearest Vizio Authorised Service Cente fro original remote control. OK.

SOURCE: Set-up mode?

Some of these TVs were assembled by AKAI.I would suggest you program the remote for AKAI. You may be able to get more options from the remote. Thanks for asking me.

My rca truflat tv is stuck on fpa lock mode and I don't have the remote. How can I unlock it?

Most RCA and GE TV sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The code reset procedure is different depending on the model. Try each method until you find one that works:

1. Hold down MENU on the remote and VOLUME DOWN on the TV it's self at the same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be unlocked

2. Hold down the 0 on the remote and the VOLUME DOWN buttons on the TV its self at the same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be unlocked

3. Hold down the MENU button on the front of the TV and the TV button on the remote at the same time for at least 4 seconds.

4. Hold down GO BACK on the remote and MENU on the front of the TV at the same time for at least 4 seconds.

5. Hold down EJECT on the front of the TV and the MENU button on the remote at the same time for at least 4 seconds.
Depending on the model, one of the methods should unlock the V-chip. Now, if desired, you can change the settings on the V-chip by going to the MENU and going to PARENTAL CONTROLS, or on some sets, going to MENU and then going to TV SETUP, then to V-CHIP SET.

Philips universal code search for older electrohome tv

Me thinks IF you tried the 'code search' function and none worked, I sincerely doubt if any other 'codes' will marry your Philips Remote to your electrohome TV.

This is because your "SEARCH" effort already went through ALL of the possible codes THAT Philips Remote knows and can deliver. It is also possible that a different MODEL of Philips Remote MAY stumble on codes that DO work!

IF you have a 'original' remote, SOME NEWER remotes can LEARN the proper codes from the original remote! BUT you NEED that original remote to send the desired IR data pulses to the smart student remote.

And GOD ~ those TV's are SO OLD, did they even HAVE remotes??

Code needed for a Electrohome tv

The Product: Electrohome 27E510

The Problem:
3rd Party Universal Remote when trying to "scan" for correct codes inadvertently activates a diagnostics setting on the TV set.

The Symptoms:
The word "FACTORY" appears on the upper left quadrant of the screen in RED letters & suddenly all controls are "Locked Out." Television will not respond to button presses on original remote or on it's built-in-buttons on the side panel. All settings/options are "Locked Out" & the TV can only be shut OFF by physically unplugging it. Additionally, when the TV is plugged back in, it is still in the "ON" state & remains in "Locked Out" state.

The Solution: (thanks to a couple of hard-working Support Personnel at NESA)
Plug TV back into power source. Wait until it powers up and the word "FACTORY" is visible on-screen.
Press 6-4-8-3 on the TV's ORIGINAL IR remote device.
You are now in the diagnostic settings Sub-Menu, & the word "ADJUST" will be on the screen.
Press "MENU" on your TV's ORIGINAL IR remote device.
The TV is now back to it's former fully-functioning state.
