My ty powers up and has split screen one to left visible one to right looks like no channel menu comes up on left screen then tv shuts off and wont turn back on

hit menu button on your remote, navigate to channel setup menu. on the sub-menu, set channel fix to your channel that you require. now when your tv powers up this will be the default channel. if this doesn't fix your issue then try cycling through video inputs tv/video button on your remote.

What is your signal source, OTA or cable? Did lightning or another type of power surge recently hit? Make sure you have the TV on the desired input.

If OTA check your antenna direction and that you have the Channel Setup (from the menu) set to Antenna. Also check if you have the right antenna to get stations in your area. Antennaweb.org gives the most likely channels and directions. tvfool.com will give more detailed information and more stations. Both sites assume outdoor antennas but the direction information is always good. Look for new construction or big trees that might block the signal. Do you have multiple TVs sharing the same antenna? You might need an amplifier.

If cable, check the Channel setup. Check for someone recently damaging your cable installation (cutting the wires, trying to split the signal to get it for free) Splitting the signal to multiple TVs may also be an issue, get an amplifier of the correct type. Some cable systems may require a bidirectional amplifier.

If you recently had a power surge, see if the TV works with other inputs.
Tuners can be replaced if the TV is worth the labor costs for you.

I hope this helps.

( My household had three tvs and a digital to analog converter that lost their tuners after a nearby lightning strike. We chose to replace the TVs since two were over 15 years old and the third was also out of warranty.)

Hold VOL - on the TV then aim the remote at the TV (watch so that your arm doesn't block the remote signal and press PIP or the SPLIT button. Do this together for at least 5 second. I hope this helps.

if the tv width is ok try entering to service menu (do not use remote control) as follow:
1) turn the set on.
2) press the menu button and hold it down while pressing the power button.
3) while holding down the menu button release the power button and press
the volume + button.
4) The screen will display a one line menu, on the left the parameter P00,
and on the right the value of the parameter V00
5) release buttons.
6) using the volume + button change the right parameter until 76
7) using the channel down button change the left parameter until 06 (vertical size)
8) whith the volume + or volume - adjust the screen size.
9) when your tv is OK back to parameter 00 using the channel up button.
10) press menu button.
and trouble solved.

try looking under your TV's menu, find the pip or split option and set them up, then on your remote, you should have a pip/split button..see if you can now watch tv with pip or split. If you need more help please be more specific about what the tv is doing when you push those buttons on the remote etc.

what are you using as input? On this set only digital channels can be the main picture. You can try the exch button to see if it comes back right also.

it is probably the x and y panels

very expensive!!

tv only gets 22 channels.

When you say messed up do you mean the convergence is out? please explain a little more detail as to what you are seeing. Also when its messed up if you press the menu button on the remote does the menu look good?

when picture is displayed on your tv after pressing menu,press the channel up/down button on the remote or tv. there can also be a button that shifts right to left. this may hilight the the settings you want to change. if the up/down button scrolled you thru the settings, then the right/left buttons should change the settings.
hope it works
