We accidentally hit some button on the control that made a big black square come over all our channels. We have tried everything and cannot get this off. We realize it is locked and have tried changing the code, turning off all power and everything. Cannot see TV, please help!

Ur tv Closed Captioning is still on like CC 1,2,3 or Text 1,2,3 is on.Look in ur remote control for a button said CC press it make all CC 1,2,3 to all off.Go into memu find closed caption function Text 1,2,3 turn it to all off.These steps,will stop random squares boxes lettering showing up ur tv any channels.

Check your closed-caption settings. You will probably find the TV is set for "text" mode right now. There's usually a single button (may be marked "CC" or "Caption") on the remote control to choose the setting. It's easy to bump the button accidentally and set captions without realizing it. When set for text, the TV blacks out the area where the text would go if there was any. Turning captions to "off" will clear up the mystery.

hello on the remote control it should say tv if you press it .it should take you back to normal view . or if you keep pressing that button and go through all the channels it should bring you back to normal tv

You have accidentally gotten the Closed Caption turned on....

Here is how to turn it off....

1) Press the MENU button either on the front of the TV or on the original TV remote.

2) Use the Volume + or Volume - to highlight "SET"

3) Use Channel - or Channel + to highlight "CLOSED CAPTION"

4) Press Volume + to access the CLOSED CAPTION menu.

5) Press Channel - or Channel + until OFF is highlighted.

6) Press Volume + or Volume - to confirm selection.

7) Press the TV/AV/EXIT button on the remote to exit or the MENU button on the front of the TV.

GOOD LUCK and please rate this solution...

go into your menu and access the closed caption modes. someone has accidently put your tv in the "text" mode. turning off the closed caption feature will correct this.

Don't be panic.
Check the batteries of your remotes control. FIRST
Be sure to aim the control to the sensor of your tv.

Usually you have one remote for your tv and the other to control the cable box or digital box.

You have to set the RMC10 again using the code of your tv Silvania (like the first time)
Then set your tv on channel 3


Another thing, be sure that you are hitting the right buttons.
The control doesn't work if you hit on the top any key instead of cable
What i mean?

The remote has on the top 4 key usually (tv, cable, vcr, aux, etc).
You must hit first cable to set the control to cable

1, Manually turn on the device(TV, VCR, etc.) to be controlled.
2. Press and hold the code search button until the red indicator stays on, then release the code search button.
3. Press and quickly release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, ect.). The red indicator blinks off once.
4. Press the Channel up button repeatedly(up to 300 times) until the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks off with each button press. If you accidentally overshoot the code required, press channel down button to backtrack through the library until device changes channel. Pressing Channel up changes direction forward again.
5. Press and release Mute to install code.

Thank you for using FIXYA!

Let me know how it is going!

unplug the set for a while , but this problem will return because of a malfunction in the EPROM CHIP , this controls the menu and a few other functions

You should try and download the users manual if you do not have one...I remeber seeing in it that after hooking every thing up, you have to do the channel search twice before the unit will work properly..This is highlited in the manual with correct hookup diagrahm..

Shut off the closed captioning and your problem will be gone.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dewayne_4a10eab6caecdb92

if your big black square starts about the middle of the tv & goes down close to the bottom, you have closed caption text turned on. normal closed caption is small, but test caption, is just a big black box with no writing in it. go into your menu & shut it off, it could even be a button on your remote called, "caption", or "cc". good luck.
