Audio Systems: tv has blue screen after installing dvd, antenna cable, speedy reply

Question
Dear Kevin,

Thank you for your speedy reply.  Unfortunately, It didn't work.

The remote control has a button labeled 'input' which gives me the blue screen entitled video and is what I used to receive input from the DVD player. It is a toggle: I press to see 'video' then press it again to see, momemtarily, the picture on what ever channel ws set, then the blue screen.
Press it again  and video appears and so on.

Is there some kind of reset button somewhere?

Could the TV have received some disabling code from the remote for the DVD? I was experimenting and I probably pushed all the buttons on the remote.

Thank you again.

Judith

I attached a dvd to my jvc tv and now have a permenant blue screen. When I switch channels I very briefly see the picture then blue screen reappears.

I removed the dvd and vcr and the problem remains.
The remote has an  input button which gives a blue screen with the word video .
The vcr was attached via the antenna cable. I attched a Koss 2161 through the component inputs.
Thank for any help you can give.

Dear Judith,

Your TV's remote should have an input selector button, which either scrolls through a number of options or toggles between the antenna and whatever else is directly connected to the TV. Sometimes the input button is linked to a set of arrows which will scroll through your input options. The point is that they're all a tiny bit different. (I know, maddening at times...)

You need to find the input option which says "TV" not "video". Once you have found it, your TV picture will come back and the blue screen will disappear.

Good luck. And thanks for choosing allexperts.com!

Kindest regards,

Answer
Dear Judith,

Sorry. However, without having the unit and its manual in front of me, that's about the best I can do. Sounds like the TV isn't responding to the remote's command to switch modes. The remote is just a switching device. The failure's probably with the TV. I can only suggest you take the TV in to where you bought it and see if they can figure out what's gone awry.

You could also try the JVC web-site: www.jvc.com.

And, no, I don't think the DVD player "fed" anything into the TV. All it feeds are A/V signals, and none of those are powerful enough to corrupt another unit's internal programming.

Kindest regards,

Kevin
