I have a 32" Magnavox model number MS3250C121 about a month ago when we turned it off then turned it back on the picture wouldn't come back. The sound was fine. After a while of being left on the picture came back it was in the center of the tv all wavy with white lines at first then it went back to normal after a few minutes. The next time we turned it off it did the same thing. So we decided to leave it on. About a week ago the side of the screen would sort of wave a bit but then go back to normal hardly noticable. A few days ago it turned its self off. The power light comes on but the picture will not come back. And if we leave it on it turns its self off. Any ideas what it might be and how to fix it? Thanks. |

I have a Magnavox TV (sorry, don't know the model#) that a friend just gave us. Picture's great, I just can't get the remote to work from a distance farther than 2 feet away from the set. It's not the remote, as I've tried three different ones.
Is there something I can do to increase the tv's infra-red range? |

I purchased a used Magnavox TV Model TP2792 B103. It doesn't have a manual. The problem is the previous owner changed the channel display. For example, he changed things from CBS to SNOT, etc., & he fogot how he did it. How can I get my TV to show the proper station display? The channel numbers are okay, but they don't match the right stations. Thanks for any help. |

At the end of a movie I went to change the channel and the tv went into "demo mode".
A self-promoting advertisement for the tv scrolls over and over. The television displays what is in the ad (eg. the caption comes on when they talk about caption and the sleep timer is demonstrated). The sound and picture quality are fine, but I can't watch real tv because the set won't respond to the remote or manual stimulation.

Hi, I have a Magnavox television (I don't know which model). I have had it for a few years and enjoyed it very much. All of a sudden something happened with the color of the picture. It seems to have mixed colors of green, yellow, green, etc. all over the place. I tried fixing the tint but nothing helped. Please e-mail me at JerseyNets144@netscape.net if you can help me in any way. Thanks |

I have a 46" Magnavox approx 8 years old. 2 of the 3 projection lens are not working. Is this worth repairing or should I just buy a new one? What would be a estimate of what this could cost?

I have a 1995 magnavox (FP5230 W105 model). I have my dvd player connected to my tv. But when I try to watch a movie I do not get a picture. I can here it but I can not see it. I thought it might be the dvd player but I tried it on another tv and it worked fine. Any suggestions as to what is causing this problem? |

We have an older 25-inch Magnavox TV (Model #13PR12 C121). We've never had any trouble with it until today. It just went off and we can't get it to come back on! I've tried using the remote, manually turning it on and even unplugged it briefly (one of the troubleshooting tips in the manual) and then tried again. Any ideas? |

We have a Magnavox RS2745-C206 chasis# 27S101-00FF. All of a sudden, the tv will not turn off - we have to unplug it and when you plug it back in, it comes on but you have to press the on/off button in order to change the channel or anything.
I noticed that on a few posts - someone said something about demo mode. Any ideas? |

Nerdly Guy - thanks for the information. We have tried to do that hold the vol+/- button down and it goes all the way through the countdown but - it still will not turn off. We e-mailed Magnavox directly, they gave us a phone number to call. We will post the results for anyone else that is having the same problem. |

I have a 24 inch Magnavox tv/vcr/dvd combo that is 2 months old. MWC24T5 My problem is when I rewind a VCR tape, the tv shuts off. I turn it back on and it ejects the tape. Very annoying. I hope someone here can tell me something very easy I need to do to stop it. Could you please reply via email? Thanks a bunch! RockAnnK@aol.com |

We got a Magnavox 27" TV, Model #27MT3305/17, and it is turning on by itself. We called Magnavox and the CSR joked that the TV "was lonely" and "crying out for attention" (REALLY) but offered not fix other than to take it for service. Luckly it is still under warranty.
Anyone have this problem? Any suggestions on a fix before we have it serviced? |

I just purchased a 27" Magnavox Model #27MT3305/17 and ever time I turn it off using the remote control it automatically comes back on in 2 - 3 minutes. If I turn it off from the tv set it doesn't turn back on. This model does not have an auto-on/wake feature so I don't know why or how it turns it self back on. is this a defect or possible issue with the power surge strip that it's plugged into? I have a clock, lamp, and dvd player plugged into the same strip and have no issues with any of them; just the tv. I bought it from best buy and thought I would post this before returning the tv. |

I have a Magnavox 27MC4304 TV/VCR/DVD combo. Got it from Home Depot earlier this year. My huge problem with this unit is that it wont play any DVD's! It says the disk is not in the right format to play back...and it says this no matter what disk I put in there (region 1, 2 or region free or a music CD). Was unable to return it to the Home Depot as I had it too long which I think was BS, but there you go and haven't been able to find a solution for this yet. Any ideas from anyone? |

I bought a used Magnavox 25" tv that works great except EVERY time we turn it on it takes about 5 minutes for the picture to show up. The sound is fine but the screen stays black or snowy for about 5 min. and then just suddenly pops on normally! It's as if the tv had to warm up every time you turn it on! I have no idea why??? |

I have a magnavox: 27MT3305/17 bought 2 weeks ago. For the past few days it keeps shutting itself off, every hour or so, in the beginning, and as the day progresses it does it every few minutes sometimes even seconds later after you turn it back on.. |

Return it and get a new one. Philips/Magnovox products are poor quality, buy a different brand. |

The lights come on, but the screen doesn't come on. I tried unplugging for sevreral hours then plugging back in, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? |

I have a magnavox television. I can turn it on and in about an hour I get this black square box in the middle of the picture and it has some type on code at the top. The only way to make this box go away is to turn off the television and turn it back on again or mess with the volume button. Does any one else have a problem like this or similar, if so what do you do? |

I have two Magnavox 15MF050V/17 tv/monitors and each will power itself off after about a half hour of operation. I have contacted Magnavox about this and their only advise is to make certain that the power cord is plugged directly into an AC wall outlet and not into a power strip, UPS or extension cord, This all sounds sort of fishy to me. Anyone else having this problem? I am beginning to believe that Magnavox dumped a bunch of these units on an unsuspecting public and is hiding behind their pathetic 90 warranty. |

I also own a magnavox 15mf050v/17 LCD TV. At first I tried using it as a monitor, but the screen would turn itself off after 20 minutes, then when I turned it back on, it would last 10 minutes before turning off, then only 4-5 minutes. I thought that maybe I had not configured it properly to work with my computer, so I tried using it as just a TV. I had the same problem. If I don't use it for an three hours, then I can get a good 15 minutes of tv watching before it turns off, then 8 min, then only 4 minutes -- until off course I let i rest for three hours. This was my first foray into LCD, and I have to say I'm very dissappointed with Magnavox for selling such an obviously deficient product. Unfortunately for me, I was naive enough to believe that the 'turning-off' was my fault at first (as I mentioned, this was my first LCD TV experience, and I thought I was setting it up properly), by the time I realized the TV itself was to blame the 90-day warranty had expired. The people at Magnavox were not helpful at all. |

MAGNIVOX GONE DARK! I have a new flat screen Magnivox. It's connected to a Comcast cable outlet. Two days ago there appeared a large dark shaded box covering most of the picture screen. The wierd thing is that it's only on certain channels including CNN. No matter what I do with the TV or the remote, it doesn't go away. The user manual is of no help. There is also some kind of indistinguishable icon in the upper right corner of the screen with an X through it, which may have something to do with the problem. Is this some kind of parental control?? Please help us clear up the screen. Thank you. |
