YOUR HAVING PROBLEMES WITH YOUR VERTICAL DEFLECTION CHECK FOR WELDING CONTACTS

You can likely buy a replacement remote here:
Remotes.com
'Universal' remotes exist only in your dreams; there is no such thing since the manufacturers cannot agree on a basic code set that would work with any set. None of them can control every function of every brand and model made.

Hello MCNJC,
Get your remote and go to the close caption in the menu or the CC button on the remote. Set the close caption to off, or set it to CC1 to see close caption. NEVER set it to TEXT 1 or any TEXT at all.

Best regards

Black square in the middle could be closed captioning. Light engine is approx. $700 to $1000 for the parts alone. Time consuming job to change - 2 hours - so expect a hefty labor charge as well.

either your lens is defective or its the light engine

I checked out past posts on your forum and found the answer there. The TV is working great. I did have a bit of trouble finding the cc in the menu, but finally found it and the problem was solved by turning the cc off. Now I just have to make sure that they don't turn it back on!

Thank you!!!!!

Turn off the closed caption on the TV set. Someone has turned on that feature. Good Luck

you have accendly turned on closed caption. the closed caption you have tured on is not the normal closed caption we are used to . it is called colsed caption text. either on your remote or in you manu, find the way to turn off cc & you should work ok. good luck.
