JVC LT-32DA8BJ lost DTV

Hi all.

i have a JVT 32" LCD tv that i have had for a few years now. the other day it stopped showing me the AV source for DTV and HDMI 2. I get my Sky box from down stairs on the analogue TV and my Xbox on HDMi1. it also shows the est1-3.

I have tried the disconnect completely for hours and re plug everything back in with no luck.

is there any way to reset the TV back to factory or try and get my Digital TV menu back? I have been through all the menu options that are left and I have hit a wall with ideas.


Thanks in advance

    Can you get into any sort of Set-up or Installation menu? If so is there an option to Reset to Factory Defaults or similar. If there is and it lets you select it, try that and see if it makes a difference.

    There is a button on the remote to switch between ATV and DTV (analogue and digital)
    See page 5 here http://www.jvc.co.uk/files/instruction_manual/lct2016-001b-u.pdf

    Did you google the model number in the OP by any chance? :)

    I saw that same link when I did so but the model numbers on page of the PDF didn't seem to match?

    Sorry, my mistake :o the hour is late

    The link I gave was one of the first hits but I now realise that it's the wrong model
    I haven't located a link for the OPs TV user manual that's either free or works.:(

    Confused me at first as well.

    I did find one site that claimed to have a free download of the manual but it had a very broken link to it so not much use.

    Though it is very possible that your suggestion about the remote applies to the OP's model as well. Would not be unusual for a similar button to exist on different models.

    Many JVC sets are just cheap Vestel sets, and prone to corruption of the EEPROM memory, which commonly causes such problems.

    You probably need to enter service mode and reset it to the original factory defaults, and reload the initial settings.

    My Hitachi/Vestel Plasma does similar things once or twice a year (which was how I came to get it for nothing).

    This model was JVCs own FT3 chassis. To recover from this problem you need to set the TV to "shipping condition" which rewrites the EEPROM with default settings, unfortunately you need a special JVC service remote to do this.

    You will obviously need to find a dealer with the service remote and you may find this a problem now.
