Symphonic cst427g tv has the number 2 at all four corners of screen and numbers across the top, no sound and can't get rid of numbers nor get sound

Only if you have a source button on the tv itself. On many of the newer sets you have to have the remote to access your other inputs. Without the remote, nada. And forget universal remotes - they only provide for the most basic functions and video source is not one of them. And you get hosed on original remotes.

Note: Switch OFF and Switch On your combo, before entering each code.

Three digit codes for Symphonic are:-
033/ 053/ 189

Direct Code Entry

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
2. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
3. Enter the 4 digit code from the code tables. Note: after a valid code entry, the red indicator turns off. For an invalid code, the red indicator flashes.
4. With your device on, press CHANNEL UP. If the device responds, no further programming is required. Note: If some buttons do not operate your device, try one of the other codes for your brand.

You can also check according to the catelogue of that remote control also. The above given numbers are most common for all universal remote controls. OK.

Here are the steps on how you will program your remote control to your Symphonic TV

1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control.
2. Press and hold the TV key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on and remains on. If you release the component key at any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times, and the process is exited.
4. While holding down the TV key, consult the list for the four-digit code that corresponds to your TV and use the number keys
(0-9) on the keypad to enter it. While you are pressing the
numbers, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
5. After the fourth number is entered, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns on. At this time, release the TV key. If the illuminated ON•OFF key turns off, you have entered a valid code and have followed the correct
procedure for Direct Code Entry. If the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks
four times when the component key is released. This is an indication that a programming error has occurred. In that case, repeat the process from step 2. TIP: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control.
6. To confirm that the TV key is programmed with the correct
code for maximum functionality, test the TV. Attempt to
control a variety of the TV’s functions with the remote. If some of the features of your TV do not work, try programming the remote with a
different code in the list until you find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of your TV’s functions. Different codes can provide
different levels of functionality.
7. Remember to enter the code for future reference.

The codes for Symphonic TV are as follows:

1026, 1033, 1038, 1046, 1155, 1189

You have a vertical deflection issue on both. Sounds like a bad capacitor. This repair is tricky but not expensive. Have a shop check it for you. Thanks for using fixya.

Just draw your finger from left to right across the centre of the screen and you should be back to normal. Don't know what the numbered boxes are though.

hold down hash key for 3 seconds and it will go away
it is something to do with which line you are using,

Your set is going out with style. Time to go shopping.

It sounds like your tv has a programming problem not to do with the remote but the actual tv you will have to take it in to get repaired or you just might have to buy a whole new tv
