See if this helps: Mitsubishi Parental Lockout, or Inputs Locked Out, or Tuner Out TV's---Input Locked Either unit comes on in the EXT 1 mode, with that function locked or you select one of the video inputs, and get a screen, Input Locked, enter personal code. Do this-- To unlock, using the Original remote, press 9 and QV. Then go to the main menu and select channel lock and turn that off. When it asks for a password, press 9 and QV again. One Member Suggested The Following For These Lock Problems: You need to do the 9 QV and then go into the set locks and set a lock for the channel or input. Then use the same code to unlock it. I have found these get glitched and the space in the EPROM is scrambled. Then when you enter data over the scrambled stuff it gets corrected. TV's---Tuner Locked No picture, screen says, tuner out. Unit in monitor mode. Go to initial setup menu, change monitor mode to off. VCR---Press "Display" button for 10 seconds. EXXIS Time Lapse VCR's---Unit in lock mode ( Unit Made By Mits ) The lock mode on some units is activated by pushing the search button on the front of the machine for 15 seconds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Service Mode TV's For Factory Menu, press Menu, 1,3,7, 0 Service Adj Mode, press Menu, 2,3,5,7 Convergence Mode, press Menu, 2,3,5,9 Use the Video or Audio buttons to enter two different groups of adjustments.
