Reset locked out channels on Toshiba TV

Apr 18, 2007 1 Replies

My brother-in-law has just acquired a used compact Toshiba TV, not sure of the model. It currently skips channels 3 and 4 when scrolling up or down. There is a channel lock function, and when we try to enter it it asks for a 4 digit password, which we've not been able to bypass. We've tried uplugging the thing overnight.



The only way currently that we can get to either locked out channel is through a complex series of steps in the menu where you set which channels to skip. But setting these 2 channels to *not* be skipped does not work, once you've exitted the menu.



Also, I'm kind of wondering, both channel 3 and 4 are often used by cable companies with their set top controller boxes.



Anyway, any tips on how to crack/reset the code, or to regain access to these channels would be greatly appreciated.



Try code 1048.

If that doesn't work read the manual carefully. My Toshiba implies a 24 hour reset. I would assume the set would have to be plugged >My brother-in-law has just acquired a used compact Toshiba TV, not
