There are two types of reset to TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience.

SOURCE: Our tv screen is dark

Try entering the "picture" sub-menu in your settings, then set the choice on "vivid" (or whatever the brightest setting is). If that doesn't work, try attaching the device on another input. Occasionally, if you are using the coaxial output of your device (the screw-on cable), it can give you a dark picture. If you have another output on the device, try it instead.

SOURCE: I have cello TV and now no channels . have tried factory reset and still shows message as Database empty. What can you suggest?

To Get free broadcasts you will need to 1) have an antenna and 2) run the Channel Scan or Auto-TUne program. Any antenna will work - Rabbit ears etc. Once connected you need to go to setup and run the channel scan - it will find the digital channels in your area and load them into the database. You can get an antenna at Radio Shack, Meijer, Kmart etc. any place they sell TV's. Like I said even the old Rabbit Ear antennas work fine for Digital TV.

How to disabled key lock on ultra samsonic television

Hi, I don't actually know how to unlock your specific TV. But here is a basic guide to unlock your tv.
    1)Turn on the TV and grab the remote.
    2)Look at the screen. If you see a blank screen with a red key on the bottom of the screen, press 'Function' and 'Mute' at the same time. This should unlock the channel. This should unlock the channel. This is an option for people who want the TV to stay locked out, want to be able to bypass the lock to watch a certain show or channel. All others channels will remain locked and the TV will fully lock when it is turned off.
    3)Unlock all of the channels on the TV by entering the factory reset code. There are 3 main reset codes that TV Manufacturers set. These are 0711, 6688 and 3308. Try each one until you find the one that works. This will factory reset the TV.
    4)Call the technical support service number in your owners manual if none of those codes work. A technician can help you troubleshoot the television because the problem may not be the locking control. When you call, make sure you have the model number and the serial number.
    5)Or take it to a TV repair shop.

Hard reset

Most TVs have a parental control lock that can be set to prevent children from watching specific television shows. In order to activate or deactivate the controls, you need to know the four digit security code or parental lock control password. If you forget the number you chose or if the lock gets set accidentally, it is still possible to unlock the TV.

How do i disable the child lock

Many Jensen TVs have a parental lock that can be set to stop children from watching certain television shows or channels. In order to activate or deactivate the controls, you have to know the four-digit code or parental lock passcode. If you forget the passcode or if the lock gets set accidentally, you can still unlock the TV.

Turn on the TV using the remote control. In most cases, you will need the original Jensen remote to unlock the TV if you aren't sure of the unlock code. You can purchase an original replacement online if necessary.

• Look at the screen. If you see a red key on the bottom of the screen, press "Function" and "Mute" on the remote at the same time. This will unlock the channel. Do this if you want to bypass the lock to watch a certain show or channel while leaving the TV locked. All other channels will remain locked and the TV will lock again when it is turned off.

• Unlock all of the channels on the TV by entering 0711 or 3308. These are the Jensen factory reset codes that will reset the TV to the original factory settings. By doing this, you will loose any information that you have stored in the TV, such as channel labels and schedules. You will have to program the TV again by going through the entire initial set up.

•Call the technical support service number in your owner's manual if neither of those codes work. A technician can help you troubleshoot the television as the problem may not be the parental lock feature. Have the model number and serial number of the TV available when you call.
• Take your television to a TV repair shop if neither of the codes work and the TV locked by itself while it was turned on. In this case, the TV may need to be rewired
