My 32" G.E. television can

Channel change button on the remote or on the side of the TV coule be stuck.

remove the cover of your remote then re arrange the rubber pad of your remote that's it..

Check and replace its main system memory IC. It is faulty.

You need to change the picture-size by using the TV remote and or cable remote.
On the remote look for P-Size, Zoom, Sreen size or Ratio.

This is my second set in as much days from Best buy. Exact same problem.
I just bought 32 inch 2 hours ago, and am using it with an antenna. Almost every time I turn to channel 5, the remote freezes and I can't even use the buttons on the side of the tv.

Hello,

The problem is either from the remote or the television, there has been so much heat on the control panel of the television, so it has melted some lead off a part of the control panel and bridging it to another part, so it is increasing both the volume and changing the channel in an upward direction.

The solution is to change the control panel of the television or correct it by using a soldering iron to melt off the lead from where leads meet.

If you remove the battery from the remote and it still does the same, then it is confirmed that it is the televisions control panel. But if after removing the battery it stops scrolling up, then the problem is from the remote and the solution is for you to replace the remote with a new one.

Take care and good luck

Here are all the codes I have
10171 10096 10187 10020 10381 10024 10030 11314 10186

here is how to set up without a code:

mode switch set to TV
PRESS & HOLD Mute and Select buttons at the same time UNTIL light blinks twice
enter 9911
keep pressing channel up until the channel changes on the tv
Maker sure to test the VOL button, if volume works
PUSH select key to set the code

THESE PROCEDURE CAN BE USED WHENEVER A REMOTE KEY IS NOT AVAILABLE.
CHANGE THE LAST NUMBER, 1 TO
2 for AUX1 (VCR and DVD)
3 for AUX2 (Audio Devices)

The remote may be malfunctioning. Take the batteries out of the remote and see if the problem stops.

If you are using the remote to change channels it sounds like either the front of the remote and/or the receiving “eye” on the TV need to be cleaned, OR (more likely) the button on the remote is sticking. It is actually a button that pushes on a membrane under the entire remote panel. This is generally caused by some sticky liquid (like Coke) getting spilled on it. If you are brave enough, you can take the remote apart and clean it with denatured alcohol. Otherwise you need to replace your remote. If possible borrow a universal remote and see if it still happens. If that doesn’t fix it you have a bad IR receiver and/or a serious internal problem.
