This TV belonged to my late son-in-law. Need to sell but need a remote. Not connected to cable or other service, it's stored in garage. Will have to demo it for people using VCR but not sure how that works!

go to home depot, buy a universal remote for chamberlain, thats all we sell at my store. And we dont stamp our store name on it. Its straight from chamberlain.
The PS being gone has nothing to do with the problems with the TV turning on and off.
The TV clicking on and off might be related to an issue with the TV itself
On the right hand side of this television there are panel buttons. It appears that your son in law knocked the tv out of the correct input. Press the input button in order to cycle through the 5 inputs. Typically pressing the input button on the side panel of a television and pressing it again and again and again will make it change inputs. Universally the buttons on the tv panel function as follows: Channel up moves the cursor up. Channel down moves the cursor down. Volume + moves the cursor right. Volume - moves the cursor left.
Hope this helps
Im sorry but im laughing about the son-in-law part. Try pushing the select button on the remote. the button might also say input, or line. Try those as well.
Your problem is likely not your TV. It's due to the signal being provided by your cable company. I suggest that you contact the cable service provider which you are using and advise them of the problem.
Assuming the machine is working correctly, there is only one reason why the picture will be distorted and that is interference.
Here are a couple of things your son-in-law may be able to check for you.
Firstly, make sure that the DVD/VCR is connected to the television using a scart lead. The DVD/VCR was probably supplied with one. It is a short cable with a large rectangular connector at each end.
If a scart lead is already being used, there may be other units connected to the tv that are causing interference. Try removing all the other units like cable tv, satellite receivers etc and see if the DVD/VCR is any better when it is the only unit connected to the tv. If it is, you will need to use a scart selector box so you can switch each unit connected to the tv separately. (Sorry I know it's getting confusing now!)
If it still isn't any better, ask you son-in-law to check through the menu on the DVD/VCR and look for a setting for Video Format. This should be set to PAL Format unless you are in North America in which case it should be set to NTSC Format.
Hope this helps, please feel free to ask me for more info if you still have problems.
