Television and Home Theater

I cannot get excess to the menu on my remote. I went out and bought another one and programmed it. I found that the volume and channel buttons only work. No excess to the menu screen is possible. I don't know what's the problem. Any help is appreciated.

thanks, elmano

My RCA Projection Television has a picture that looks like I should wear 3-D glasses. The picture itself bows inward toward the center from the top and bottom. You can see all three colors around people and objects. If someone knows anything about how to fix this or if it even can be fixed,please post ASAP. I've also had this TV. since 1999, if that has any effect.
