Larry, further to my preevious mail it seems obvious my last one with the details of the problem didn`t get posted so I`ll put it down again here.

I was attempting to use a hack code to make my Sony dvd player (NS355) multi region. The solution, obtained from a hacking advice site on the web gave a long list of instructions which required an 'all in one' remote control.

I began to follow the instructions but after about the third step (where I was asked to punch in 0-5-3-3) I was then asked to press the tv button at which point the light would blink twice. It did not and I realised it had not worked properly.

 I then tried to use the original remote that came with the tv set (an LG 32LX2R) but it no longer worked. I believe that when performing the hacking operation, pressing the dvd button had not worked and I had actually been altering the tv settings as opposed to the dvd player.

 Somehow I have altered the factory settings that align with the original remote control and now need to find out how to bring it back to its original state. To switch off the tv now I have to do it manually. To change channels I have to use the set top box remote. Otherwise the set works fine.

Any ideas how I get everything back to how it was before? The remote control i am sure is fine. Its just the settings ithin the tv set itself that can no longer receive signals from its remote.

Thanks, Frank Allen

Thanks. I`ll try that and let you know what happens later.

I wasn`t sure how long 'at least a few hours' was so I left the set off and remote batteries out for 7 hours. Tried it again. Still the same. Had to switch the set on manually. And the remote doesn`t operate anything on the tv.

I`m just off out fo something to eat so I`ll check my messages when I get in and see if you have any ideas on where to go from here.

Larry Dillon said: You have to unplug the set not just turn it off my friend

Hi Larry,

somehow my last reply doesn`t seem to be on here. I did in fact reply to your last message explaining that I did actually unplug the set totally as requested (sorry , phrasing was bad) but no luck. So any ideas how we progress from here? Don`t know where the lost messages are going. That`s twice I`ve replied and it`s been missing from the site. Sorry.

Frank.
