Insignia Digital-to-Analog Converter for Analog TVs - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Sound problems with recording to vcr using converter box
If your TV has no scart connection, no HDMI connection, then to be honest I would get a new set. There are plenty of good second hand models around, which will be better than your old set and come with a digital tuner built in.
As for the VCR, that should have a scart socket and so should the converter box. Once connected via the scart socket you should be be able to record the shows easily. If the converter box comes with a volume control, you might need to set that up to get it right. If the VCR has two scart sockets use the second one to connect the box. Use the first to connect to the TV for viewing your recordings only.
If it has only one scart, then look around on Amazon for one of these scart switching boxers.

My tv won't take commands from my remote, it will shut down, but not restart
If you are using a none original remote then not all remote codes will work all the functions. Some codes are designed for different models. So you might have to try several codes before all functions will work. Even then some might still be missing.
If you are using a new genuine remote and it's still playing up. Then either two possibilities can occur. The set has been switched to work a different remote. Or there's a fault in the set that has either effected the remote functions or has caused the functions to cease to operate, even though the remote is sending out the correct signal and the set has received it.

Hearing my television through my home theater system
Without knowing anything about your TV receiver all I can assume is that the TV has a least an RCA analog audio OUT. Run that to any available analog input on the HTS. make sure the TV's audio controls (hidden in a menu somewhere) is set to Fixed so the TV volume won't affect the HTS volume. Then you can turn the TV speakers off and still listen through the HTS.
You'll only get stereo this way. Ideally, you would have a digital audio source for the TV audio signal.

Converter box turns off by itself when watching tv.
Check the settings in the menu--many boxes have "power save" mode and will shut off after anywhere from 2-12 hours of inactivity. You should be able disable it or change it to a longer time.

No signal
Call the station to see if they are testing their signal. Also check the signal strenght: turn to channel WGEM and usung the signal meter in the converter box check to see if you have a strong signal. If signal is week change the direction of the antenna or get a signal amplifier; especially if you live more than 10 miles from their broadcast tower.

Black box in front of picture
If it's the box,just press the CCD button on the controller until you see CCD off .(Try this one first since it just started with the box)
If it's the TV,just go into the setup options and turn off the closed caption feature.

I have a spare insignia
Usually spare remotes are already programmed to work with the unit already. Especially if the spare remote came with the unit. But if not and the spare remote is not meant for the same model then there is no way to program it to work for your unit. Usually the remotes of products which are the same model work interchangeably with each other.
The particular remote you have was made for LSX300-4DM, NS-DXA1, NS-DXA1-APT, IXV-6472 models which have been discontinued and the remote does not have any provision for programming new devices. But you can try using it direct if it works.
Hope this support has been helpful?
Thank you for visiting FixYa.

I turn on tv which
Hello,
is this your first time of using the Insignia box with the TV? I think you are having a bad connection that why there is no display.
Connect the TV to a DVD player and check if it's going to display on the TV....
Cross check your connection between the Insignia box and your TV, then give me a feedback.
I look forward to your reply.
Bye for now.
