We do not have the original remote, it was broken last year. We replaced it with a Phillips Universal remote which has worked fine until recently. The tv was in video mode when the batteries were knocked out. We cannot reprogram the tv code because it is stuck in the video mode. Is there any way to get the tv out of the video mode from the back or somewhere else? Thank you for your time

It shouldn't make any difference what mode the TV is in when programming the remote control. After you replace the batteries, just reprogram the control with whatever code you used before. If you didn't make a note of the code, use the remote's code search feature. That only needs the TV to be on, so that it shuts off when you find the right code. Once the remote has the right code back in it, you'll be able to switch the TV out of video mode.
