20 Most Recent SVA-USA HD4208TIII-VR 42 in. Plasma Television Questions & Answers

If the screen is black and the sound is working, it sounds like possibly one of your cables might have worked loose. I would check them all, and make sure no one accidentally took one off and put it in the wrong place (kids?) or maybe someone bumped into them and one is loose. Or, depending on how you have it all set up (there are ways to get sound without picture) it is possible your source is set incorrectly and you can still have sound.

I have the same problem now..Where you able to fix your problem? I bought a universal remote but it won't work.

Was it working befor you got it off your friend???

Try going to menu and finding sound or audio and scroll down to caption and switch to off.

Sounds like a version of closed captions. Go to menu section and make sure closed captions is off

The issue with these TV's are the boards internally go bad, for Power the three capacitors get round at the top and either you replace the whole board from SVA fro 300.00 or buy three capacitors and replace them

common problem power supply need replacement

Lets start from the top, first off do you have a cable box, antenna, or dish type service?

Just Repaired a HD4208-III with the same problem, found faulty
Relay RLY8002 (Faulty Contacts) Replace both RLY8001 &
RLY8002.

could be the power supply or the logic board

The only remote that works is the one 4 all. Call ONE 4 ALL for the right model number. They then can program the remote on the phone to operate the SVA tv. It worked for me until the set died this week. Guess why I am looking on this site.

Switch to Air, or ASTC in Menu, re-scan. If it's cable, switch to cable, re-scan.

Closed caption function is On. Turn it OFF.

If it is a burn our then the panel is kaput, otherwise, it must be the inverter.
