The tv locked out and i dont have the remote for it any more...how do i unlock the tv?

Hello
It will be very difficult to unlock your Apex TV without its remote control handset. If you can gather it from some amoung your friends or relatives, who own the same model set, just borrow it form them just to unlock your TV. After unlock, you can use any universal remote control suited for Apex. Proceedings are:
Apex TVs use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The override code for many models is 6688. Other sets may not have one, or may have a default code of 1225 instead of an override code.

1. To use the override code:

2. Hit the MENU key to get to the menus.

3. Go down to the SYSTEM menu and hit the right arrow on the remote control.

4. Once in the SYSTEM menu, go to PARENTAL GUIDE. It will ask for your code.

5. Enter the override code listed above. From here, you can turn on and off different rating restrictions, as well as set a new code.
No matter what the V-chip code is set to, the override code will still work. If you have a blank screen with a red key on the bottom left, simply press the (function or F) button and the mute button at the same time. This will unlock the screen and allow you to view the channel as desired
OK.
