Also:
try resetting via the side button with the unit on.

unplugging the unit from power for some minutes (not seconds).
Do all the above one after the other before using the WDTV.

well 1st before id go changing any parts I look at weather or not the input is selected correctly over to the input that im providing a known good picture signal with (antenna,cablebox,etc.), you'd be surprised how many times I get a call and I go and use the input select buttons on set itself (NOT REMOTE) and whhoolaaaa! there it is , of course I always hear next I didn't change that !!
a short comings of todays modern TV's if you arnt having any signal into it ,the screen is black and the set-up menu wont display on a black screen

you need to explore menue for tv options and select the proper input as well as other options.

click the i botton on the remote and it will go away

upon hitting the power button, the red light showing on the front of the tv should flash a couple of times, the screen should come on and the light goes off..the red "stand by " light stays on and we cannot get the screen to come up..needless to say, cannot get to the menu to change any display options...any suggestions?

can't get the frame to cut off and start back up to show the setup program

I need a code to unlock my TV its a VS-5004R mitsubishi TV?

I found this online somewhere and it cleared my problem.

(my problem was a blue screen that said my input was locked enter in your code using the 10 key pad. Both inputs were locked, I used the steps below and it cleared it. We are now watching a dvd for the first time in months!) Thank you Bob Waterman whoever you are!)
