TV Sharp LC-40LE830U. My front panel ys disabled and my remote control don't work. I can power on/off only. How can I enable my front panel without use remote control? or reset factory settings?

If both your front panel and remote control are disabled, the best option would be to perform a factory reset to restore the TV to its original settings.
To reset the Sharp LC-40LE830U to factory settings:
  1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet and wait for at least 60 seconds.
  2. Press and hold the power button on the TV for 5 seconds while the TV is still unplugged.
  3. Plug the TV back in and turn it on using the power button on the TV itself.
  4. Once the TV is turned on, press and hold the "input" and "volume down" buttons on the TV simultaneously for 5 seconds.
  5. The TV will then enter the service mode menu.
  6. Press the "menu" button on the remote control to navigate through the menu and select "option."
  7. Select "factory reset" from the options menu and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset.
Note: The factory reset will erase all custom settings, including parental controls, picture, and audio settings.

How to shrint screen

Hello, AE -

Are you asking how to make the picture on your TV smaller ("shrink it")?If so, without knowing the make and model of your particular TV, I can only give you general instructions.

You will need the remote control which came with your TV (not a remote control for cable or satellite dish TV service.)

Turn the TV ON.With the remote control, press the MENU button. One of the MENU choices which displays on the TV screen should be SETTINGS or SCREEN RESOLUTION. Choose that.

You will be provided a list of screen image sizes. Move through each option to determine which size you prefer.Once you have landed on the screen aspect ratio (another term for picture size) you prefer, press the OK button on the remote control. Choose to keep the chosen setting and EXIT or ESCAPE the MENU options.

Best wishes.

Got a Sanyo DS25320 and using a universal remote. The screen is blue and says Video and when I hit menu it only gives me the option of auto/ manual/ game or language, can not get to the other selections....

The tv universal remotes are having very limited options in functions and tv universal remotes are only work correctly are like buttons power on/off volume up/down and channels up/down.Menu button and a Video setting option modes functions setting are another story all together.These two functions Menu button and Video setting modes funtions will not work correctly in any tv universal remotes.Because these Menu and Video setting modes are belong into the internal setting of the tv itself.It will only work correctly with the tv original remote only.Try website like Remotes.com to buy the tv original remote to use.

Getting a specific channel on the TV without using a remote

Usually if you go into the setup menu, there is an option to allow you to either "scan" for a channel, or "input" a channel. In this case, select "input" and see if the TV will allow you to press the up and down channel buttons and go to a specific channel. If so, when you get to channel 4, press the "add this channel" option (or whatever the menu option says) and you should then be able to go to channel 4 using the buttons on the front without skipping over it.

I have a philips Matchline tv (29pt6361/79r) the tv works fine except it automatically turns the volume down without any buttons on the remote or tv being pushed

well depends on how far it turns the volume down as to what the cause is and if the volume bar on screen display comes on when the vol. goes down. if it just goes down a little you probably have the "smart sound" setting turned on in the audio menu turn it off and see if prob. goes away. if the vol. bar comes on the screen whenever the vol. goes down the you most likely have a bad button on your front panel and it doesn't have to be the vol. down button. it you think it is the button it would need solder work to be changed most likely shop job.
