Question
Hi I lost my old RCA remote, I then got a new universal one. I have an older RCA TV there is no option for video in the front panel menu. Nor does my input button on my universal work, All other buttons do. I unplugged it for a few days to reset it, still blue video screen.
so is there anyway I can make my TV go back to channels and not just video without the original remote?
thnx experts.

Answer
You must have a remote that operates the video switching function.  Try another remote.  You cannot toggle through the inputs from the front panel; it must be done by the remote.

Try a remote that has a button called "video" and see if that will solve the problem.
