I am trying to scan for new analog channels. On my remote, when I go to TV MENU, and try to select the CHANNEL option, it skips right past CHANNEL and won't let me select it.
Check that the current input is TV. Press the Input button on the TV or the remote. If it isn't, press Input several times or use the Up/Down arrows. Once TV is highlighted, then either wait or press Enter to go to that source. Now try to access the Channels sub-menu.
I hope this helps. The manual for the Sharp LC-26DV24U is available at Sears Parts Direct: https://c.searspartsdirect.com/mmh/pd_download/lis_pdf/OWNM/L0810455.pdf .

(It's normal for most TVs to skip parts of the On-screen menu when the source isn't compatible with the options in that section. Note: if you are using a universal remote, even if there is a source/input button, you may need to try multiple codes for the Sharp brand to ensure that the Input/Source button works. The On/Off code is usually going to work with several codes.)

The only way your going to change the video mode is with the original remote. If you need another remote go to http://remotes.com or call 1800 remotes Theres a button on the upper left hand side of the remote called video mode. A universal most of the time will not work this function. You could ask around to your friends and buddies or relitives if anyone has a working Sanyo remote or go to a local retailer that sells Sanyo and see if he would let you borrow one for a little while so you can switch out of the video mode. Good Luck

It sounds like your TV is on a different input. If you watch your cable from an external cable box, and this box is plugged into your TV using wires that are yellow, red, and white, or red, blue, green, red and white, you're currently watching TV on a different input than the one used for the antenna. Channels in a TV are controlled by the tuner. The tuner is the silver, threaded, post on the back of a TV, DVR, converter box, or VCR, that you plug an antenna or cable wire to. The tuner contols channels while the other inputs on your TV carry a direct signal like a computer to a monitor. So when you use something other than coaxial cable to connect cable to your TV, you can't access the channel menu while on that input. To access that menu, change the TV's input or source to TV or stop when you see a channel number on the screen. You have to be on the TV or tuner input in order to access the channel menu. If you're on any other input such as, S-Video, AV1, AV2, component (Yp Br Cr), HDMI, etc. you will not be able to do a channel scan. You have to be on the right input or source.

During power up and first time use, there should have been an option for channel scanning as the initial setup wizard began. 
Alternatively, there should be a way to navigate to the channel scanning menu by selecting, Menu>TV>Auto Channel Search. I couldn't get the exact info from the model you listed, but I gathered this info from a similar owner's manual (lc-32sb28ut) from the Sharp webpage: http://www.sharpusa.com/CustomerSupport/ProductDownloads.aspx
Hope this helps.
Main system control memory IC fault. This is a very small IC; have 8 solder terminals, and can be located very near to the main system control-chroma IC. Check and replace it. Be sure to replace it with the same number printed on it; in all respect. Otherwise, it won't go. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Before replacing it, try a reset to this set, and then check.
