TV set to 'TV', should be 'AV1'

Ive got a sony bravia. My Sky tv is on 'AV1', and until last night you could just turn it off and on and it would be on AV1 and Sky TV would come on. As of this morning you turn it on and its on 'TV' not 'AV1', so you have to use the original; remote control to change it from TV to AV1.
Any knowlegable types know how to reset it so that AV1 comes on when you it off and on again?

Without a remote control, you can't select its inputs. If you wish to buy its original remote control, contact the authorized service centre, or authorized dealer to your device brand. They can either give you a genuine remote control to your device, or can direct you, from where can you purchase a suitable one.
To select a proper universal remote control, you should know about the number of digits to its set-up codes. There are 3 digit, 4 digit, 5 digit, 2 digit and even single digit codes, to some brand devices. After confirming this, check the sites linked here. Both the sites have set-up code list and set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. Check which brand remote control has set-up code/s to your device brand, and buy that one according to availability. Brand name of the remote control isn't a matter, but it should have set-up codes in its code list, to the device brand you have.
Please note: Every new universal remote control will have set-up code list, and set-up procedure along with its pack. Never accept a remote control, that hasn't both of this. For more details about the set-up codes, visit the sites.

A 4 flash indicates you have a backlight problem. Either the backlight inverter boards have failed or you have a backlight that has failed in the LCD panel. You will need a technician to check the set to determine which is the problem.

Click on the display button (upper left corner) as a short term fix - it will turn it off immediately - not sure of how to permanently solve this though.

You know how to reset the tv to its factory setting, I think you are a technician. Second thing you can do is software update. Go to http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=KDL42V4100&LOC=3#div_pos_30 . If it doesn’t work. Replace the Main board (UB board). Part # A-1547-086-A Cost approx $320.

I have a Sony Bravia TV and the screen seems to be locked on AV1 I can here the cable channel but can't see the picture. Is there any way for me to unlock the setting so I can see the picture?

Please try this:
With your remote set on AV1, push the input button and try to change the input using the up and down arrows. You want to set it on cable or whatever your TV input normally says. I have Satellite TV and mine says satellite. You should be able to easily change it with the input button. If you can't do it, change the setting on your remote to TV and then try the same procedure. The Sony Bravia has manual controls on top of the set as well. If you are unable to change your input using the remote, try the manual controls, however, your remote does need to be reset for the correct setting as well. Using the manual controls will just help you check to see if there is actually a problem with your TV. Is this a new TV, new problem?Have you changed batteries in your remote recently?

I hope this helps you. If not get back to me, and let me know.
Thank you for using FixYa.

I have a 52 inch SONY Bravia that has been stuck in zoom mode since last night. iI am unable to see the writing and/or tops of heads on top of screen. any help available?

Press the "WIDE" button on the TV remote a few times to change the TV wide mode settings until you get it to "FULL". If that does not fix it, look on your Cable box remote for an "Aspect" or "Format" button and press it a few times. I hope this helps.

RECENTY PURCHASED SECOND HAND TV WITHOUT REMOTE OR HANDBOOK CANNOT SEEM TO SET UP MY SKY BOX TO IT ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Does the S/H TV have AV1 & AV2 settings and a scart socket? If so just connect the a scart lead from Sky box to TV and select AV1.

If you have no scart socket on the TV you need to connect a coaxial (aerial) cable from the sky box to TV and tune in to a channel. It is possible to tune in your sky remote if you have the TV code.




Please remember to rate this solution.
