If it is a RCA 36V550T do you hear a high pitched sound from set before you try to turn it on?The model indicated is well known for the High Voltage transformer and or a sweep transistor failing.The transistor is easy to check with a ohm meter and if shorted 100% chance it and the transformer are both bad (usually just the two parts)?

That's a CRT... it's inherently analog. If you use the right equip, you could get a digital signal to display on it, but the picture would still be analog.

that need more information for it.

Try going into your display properties, and adjusting from there. Right click anywhere on your start screen, and select properties. Then select display properties. Hope this is helpful

Look at your remote or On-screen menus for ratio settings. The remote might say zoom or ratio. The menus will probably have it under video and then Aspect Ratio. You'll probably need to hit go through several settings to get to the correct ratio. (some choices are 4:3, 16:9, Full-screen - the best choice depends on the set and the source video)

I hope this helps.

(my remote (slightly different TV) has the zoom just above mute so I hit the wrong button often.)

hiya sounds like the remote has de-registerd it self with the telly. all you need to do is find out the infered codes for that telly and do the [set] - [TV]combo with the numbers after.

If the front panel lock is on, you will need a working original remote (or a universal remote properly programmed for RCA) to turn the set on. The IR receiver is next to the buttons on the fromt but the RCA IR receivers are very reliable, and I have yet to see a bad one in a modern RCA TV. Once you turn the set on by remote, you can enter the menu and turn the FPA off.

Try to check the power supply output side where anything could came into contact with positive and negative line for which when you press play button then it shuts down.

RCA video cables handle analog signals. HDMI cables carry digital video signals. You need a converter. If you are using a component video converter, check if you swapped two of the three RCA video cables. (There are some A/V projectors that can do the translation of RCA and HDMI internally. Most TVs do not.) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells (One of my family's TVs used a dongle to condense the analog video signal to a single port, swapping blue and green gave a black and white output, IIRC.)

Most modern tv remotes are not normally designed to be repaired. You will possibly need to replace it. there are plenty of cheaper after market version that will do the job just as well. Your other option, and yes I know this is a silly answer, when you want to mute the TV is to simply press the volume down button to zero then turn it back up when you want sound.

you will need to rind RCA to whatever input is on your tv google RCA to HDMI copy and paste link for manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/313476/Rca-Vr677hf.html#manual
