Thank you in advance most kindly for your assistance. The dog jumped on remote and hit some button; now the TV menu keeps scrolling down, stuck in preview mode or demo mode. I don't understand the lingo but the words srolling top to bottom distact from the excellent picture. How do I make it stop? Hubby lost manual; TV from about 1989 Sears. Tried opening front panel: on TV push + and - at same time; tried push channel up and down same time. Each about 30 seconds. Driving me nuts.
I have the same problem, don't know what to push on the remote to get it to stop, we have an RCA learning remote as the dog destroted the origional one it is sure hard to watch TV with this info scrolling all the time.
Whats the model Number from both dgh42 and bonbon, as the auto scroll is done differantly on all sets. Oh and do you both have the original remote controls for your sets?
I have the LXI 20" TV. The remote fell and now the tv is in demo mode. The model # is
56442455950. I have tried the normal combo's but no luck. I have the originial remote.
Any help on what the correct combo is to turn this off would be great.
Thanks

scrooing like all others model # is 564-4290595
Press on hold one of the control buttons (under the flip door) on the front of the tv for three seconds. The green screen text (like A/V) will flash when demo mode is deactivated.

i am having the same problem as above but the one button three sec thing will not work. any ideas?
Try holding control and left arrow for three seconds.
the hold button for 3 seconds did not work....i do not have the original remote
I do not have the original remote and the hold any button does not work, what else can I do?
I have that same 1989 model that I bought new at Sears. I no longer have the manual and the remote is long dead. My question is this: Even after all this time, it has a very crisp picture and the color is perfect. Was this an early HD-capable model? How many lines of resolution does it have?
