I had a similar magnavox ptv that was doing some weird things (missing convergence menu and some other system control related fault). I temporarily removed the memory battery, which allowed the system to reset, and after reinstalling is, set worked ok. It's a coil cell with tabs mounted on the signal process pcb under the big shield. It may be weak, should be about 3.6 volts.
