HI evrryone i just bought a 32 inch plasma flat screen tv from a guy and i have the remote and everything but the channel wont change... the buttons on top of the tv if you press it turns off the tv and if you press any of them it turns it back on and the remote does nothing although it definatly works already been checked. i just wanna be able to watch a dvd player in it does anyone know of a way to either change the channel on the tv or is there a way to use a dvd player on channel 56? someone please help... please

Do you have the owners manual my friend, and did you see the set working before you bought It?
A DVD player won't be on a "channel" (unless you've hooked up an external RF modulator. If you don't know what that is then you don't have one.) DVD players are connected to TVs with line level connections like S-video, component video, and the like. The TVs remote should have a button labled "Input" or something similar. Turn your player on and cyclet hrough the inputs until you find the one the DVD player is connected to.
If you can't find a picture this way, then you need to check your wiring and/or setup options.
thanx for the responses. i dont have the manual.... the remote doesnt do anything! the tv works but only for channel 56.... any other thoughts or ideas?
It is possible that the TV has been set to one channel only. There should be a way to access the menu from either the front panel(or top...) or the remote. Try the auto-program option.
Let us know what happens. Also, please post the make and model number of the set.
