Resetting lock and accessing menu with universal remote

A universal remote can work with your TV, but whether it can access the menu depends on the specific model of both the TV and the universal remote. Universal remotes are designed to be compatible with a wide range of devices, including TVs, DVD players, audio systems, and more. However, not all universal remotes have the same features or compatibility with every function of a specific TV.
Here are the general steps to set up a universal remote with your TV and access the menu:

1. Check Compatibility:
   • Ensure that your universal remote is compatible with your TV model. The packaging or user manual of the universal remote should list compatible brands and models.
2. Find the TV Code:
   • Locate the code for your specific TV model in the documentation that came with the universal remote. The manual should include a list of codes for various TV brands.
3. Program the Universal Remote:
   • Follow the instructions in the universal remote's manual to program it for your TV. This usually involves entering a code that corresponds to your TV model.
4. Testing:
   • After programming, test the basic functions like power, volume, and channel to ensure that the universal remote is working with your TV.
5. Accessing the Menu:
   • Most universal remotes have a dedicated "Menu" button or a button labeled with a similar term. Press this button to access the menu on your TV.
   • If there isn't a specific "Menu" button, look for a button with an icon that resembles a list, settings, or options. Sometimes, these buttons serve the same purpose.
   • If you're unable to find a dedicated button, refer to the universal remote's manual for guidance on accessing the menu or adjusting settings.
6. Navigating the Menu:
   • Once you've accessed the menu, use the arrow buttons or navigation buttons on the remote to move through the menu options.
   • Some universal remotes may have an "OK" or "Enter" button that you can press to select a menu option.

Be careful - most universal remotes only control the most basic of functions, volume change, channel change, mute, on/off. They rarely include operation of sources, menus, etc.

U are , no doubt, going to need an original unit for the menu access.
Check for remote on ebay or google.

The Universal Remote can be used for the basic operations like turning ON/OFF, changing the channels, changing the volume. However, the main features like TV Guide and internal menu settings cannot be accessed using the Universal Remote. To access the all features of the product, it is required to use the Remote supplied with that product only.

I bought a universal remote from kmart today to try and access my tv menu to turn child lock off but all buttons are locked i need help

unfortunately no they make it that way for a reason. might get one cheaper on ebay alot of good deals. or just order the original remote to avoid further problems

If you are unable to access the TV menu using the buttons on the TV itself it is possible you can with the TV2 remote if it still controls the volume etc. for this TV. If it doe not you will need to find a code for your set in the manual for the receiver or you can go to the following link to find that info as well.http://tech.dishnetwork.com/departmental_content/TechPortal/content/tech/receiver/625.shtml
Assuming you have control of the volume still press the small TV button on the top left of the remote. Now press the menu button and you may be able to access the TV's menu. If so you need to run a channel scan/auto program the TV. You may need to use the buttons on the TV still to maneuver through the menu.
If you are still unable to access the menu you may need to purchase a universal to access the menu.

on some models the menu button is on the front disguised as the volume up/down or channel up/down buttons. you have to push both up/down buttons on either one of these to bring up the menu.

mute on the remote and menu on tv

service mode and go to factory reset

I have never heard of FDA lock. If you mean FPA lock, this is the Front Panel Access lock (also called Child Lock) built into the TV. To unlock FPA, turn the set on with the original remote, enter the menu, navigate to the page with FPA and set it to off.
