Hi,

I have an old Hitachi TV, model CT2043B. The internal speakers have been
turned off in the settings, and I want to turn them back on. The thing
is the remote "Sound" button does not work anymore. I tried universal
remote controlers, but they don't support the "Sound" button, only the
"Menu" button. I prefer not buying a replacement remote as only the
"Sound" and "Picture" buttons are not working on the original remote. I
did try to clean it with no luck. Is there any way to reset this TV
setting to the factory default?

Thanks

You need a working remote control to make those changes.
You might want to email oneforall with the make and model of the tv and
the buttons required. There is a good chance they have a universal
remote that with some special programming will provide the needed
functions.

If you are lucky enough to have a remote that doesn't work just because the
button won't contact properly then you can still do what you want by opening
up your remote. If you pop open the remote and trace out where the buttons
would be making contact you can examine the traces to see where you can just
temporarily jumper to get the same effect. If it is an actual component of
the remote that is toast then you are out of luck. I've had to do this
numerous times for other folks until they could locate a replacement remote.

Cheers,
Lawrence

For future reference, Hitachi specific replacement remotes are
available from Moteva. They do have the "picture" and "sound" buttons.
