    Push the "ON" button on the side of the TV and during to power up time , repeatively push the menu button. Might have to repeat the steps a cpl times. It worked for me.

My Bruhm 32 curve tv is stuck in usb mode, and i dont have remote
If your Bruhm 32-inch curved TV is stuck in USB mode and you don't have a remote, there are a few different things you can try:
  1. Try using the buttons on the TV itself: Some TVs have buttons on the side or bottom of the screen that can be used to navigate menus and settings. Look for buttons labeled "menu," "input," or "source" and see if you can use them to switch to a different input or exit USB mode.
  2. Unplug the TV: Unplug the TV from the wall outlet for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the TV and clear any issues with the USB mode.
  3. Obtain a replacement remote: If you don't have a remote, you may need to purchase a replacement. Check with the manufacturer or a retailer that sells Bruhm TVs to find a compatible remote.
  4. Use a universal remote: If you have a universal remote, you may be able to program it to work with your Bruhm TV. Consult the manual for your universal remote or contact the manufacturer for assistance in programming the remote.
If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Bruhm customer support for further assistance.

Vizio tv the menu button dont work, could it be the remote or main board
Is it the original Vizio remote? If it is, then the button is probably just defective. If it's a universal remote, you might need to try a different program code. If you have another Vizio TV, you could try using it's remote to see if the menu function works on the TV you're having trouble with.

Sanyo model # ds19310 16 jnch tv stuck on video chanel wont change to any other chanel volume works pat of menue works but the channel search and two other chanel menue controls are not available tv skips...
Hi there,

If you still have the Sanyo remote, you just need to press the INPUT button on the remote. The channel search and some other functions are disabled when the TV is in video/AV/game mode.

If you don't have the Sanyo remote, but you have a Universal remote which you use with the TV, look for a button labelled INPUT or SOURCE on this remote and try pressing it.

If you don't have any remote for this TV or you are using a universal remote which does not have an INPUT or SOURCE button, please reply to me from within this page for further assistance and let me know the brand and model number of any universal remote you are using. There is no option in the menu for doing this, but there a couple of methods which work on some TVs

Hope this helps.

Regards,
BElectric

VCR stuck on menu screen
Thank you. I did fix the problem. Reviewed the instruction manual for the Samsung VCR and removed the SAFE reading on the VCR by just holding down the TV-VCR button on the RCA universal remote for several seconds which then released the frozen menu screen. From there I was able to reprogram the TV using the instructions and codes for the RCA universal remote. I still have to reprogram the VCR.

Sanyo stuck on video mode
Yippie, I figured out a solution that worked!!! I have a univeral remote from comcast, on that remote near the bottom left is a small button that says (input) tv/vcr, press that one time and whala!! the tv video screen was gone, I had to manually change the channel from the tv channel button on the unit. once I changed the channel to 3, my universal remote worked... the button is the second one from the bottom left... I was on hold with sanyo for a long time and just kept trying on my own, so good luck!!!!
