I can not program the tv with the cable, which input goes with the cable channel. I have a 32 inch RCA with SRS . HELP

1. Find codes for each device and brand on

page numbers shown below.
2. Press and hold the TV, VCR1, VCR2•LD,
SAT•CABLE, or AUDIO button you want to
set up.

3. Enter the three digit code from the
TV, VCR, Laserdisc Player, Satellite Receiver,
Cable Box, or Audio code list.
Device Page
TV 11
VCR 12
LaserDisc Player 13
Satellite Receiver 13
Cable Box 13
Audio Equipment 14
4. Release the device key.

5. With the device on, press another button, for
example CHANNEL UP. If the device
responds, no further programming is
required. If the device does not respond,
repeat 2-4 using another code.

it sounds like you either need to set the input on tv or the output from your source to be correct

if you give me more info about what you are hooking up and to what input with what types of wires i might be able to help more

let me know

good luck!!

1. Connect the RCA Output on you Cable Receiver to the RCA Input on your RCA TV, taking note of which Input you plugged into, e.x. DVD, GAME, etc.
2. Turn on your Cable Receiver, and your TV.
3. On your RCA TV, change the Input to the Input you plugged your Cable Receiver into.
4. You should now be able to change channels using your cable box, and view it on your TV.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_69f3cc28d95bf514

You should not have had to choose cable or air. When you have satellite it is considered the same thing as cable. Air is over the air rabbit ears antenna free programming. When you are connecting a satellite receiver you only have to turn to channel 3 or pick the correct av, component or hdmi input. Oh you must be connecting more than one television to the same satellite receiver. When that is the case tv #2 usually has to be set on a different channel and the satellite tv company tells you which channel. You still use the satellite remote to change channels and leave this television on one channel at all times. This television is good enough for its own hd satellite receiver connected with component cables or an hdmi cable though in order for you to see its full potential for displaying hd programs.

At least you know the set does work. I'm also assuming your satellite receiver is working and that all your cables are good.

There are two ways to hook up to the TV: RF (antenna) and the A/V jacks. Maybe the seller was using the RF input (the threaded round connector where you screw on a cable connection, then choose channels with the set's tuner), and you're trying to connect using the A/V jacks (the red, white and yellow RCA jacks). If that's the case you need to switch the TV to those inputs. You may need the original remote to do that if the TV doesn't have a front panel TV/AV button.

The other possibility is you're connecting the satellite receiver to the RF connector and the TV isn't on the right channel (usually channel 3 or 4). If you're using the RF input, have the TV autoprogram and it should find the channel. Most sets can do that from the front panel menu button.

Hope this helps. Thanks for sing Fixya!

Unplug TV set from the outlet, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, select right input with your remote if you using cable box or Punch the channel that you want to watch if you have cable service connected directly to the TV.

so is this sound on the tv or a sound system

I had the same tv at my motel and wanted to hook up my Wii. Turning to Channel 999 worked.

Hi,
Are you sure it says unusable signal instead of unstable signal.
This means that you have the wrong input in place in the tv. If you got the original remote with it there may be an input button. on it. Some RCA's use 00 for the video input. If your cable goes directly to the antenna connector on the back you should get all channels when you do auto search in the menu provided you have the right input programmed. If you are using a cable box the tv must be on channel 3 or 4. video input uses rca cables red white and yellow to the proper input on the tv but there again the input must be set correctly. Possibly in the menu do a search there. Hope this helps.

Try the old RCA/GE channels of 90/91 or 92 to get to the inputs. Or try entering channel 00. Let me know if that works.
