Can you ID this TV model? Proscan RCA- jpg link picture
http://makeashorterlink.com/?W38753C86 shows front and back and remote.
I can't figure out what mode 27" TV I have. I bought it used and now I need to find a manual for it. I did a lot of searching on the web, including the rca web site, and found some clues, but still not sure what model it is. I found a web site that sells remotes and this link shows what the remote looks like. http://www.newtvremotes.com/Mfrs/TCE/TceTV/221115.htm My remote has TV guide plus on it and at least two extra buttons "fetch button and picture of ear phones". I found a manual on the rca web site very similar to mine but not exactly (model f27679) made in 1998. Mine might be a year newer, but not sure. I don't feel confident to take the TV case apart in order to find the model number. Can anyone id this mode looking at my jpg picture? thanks |

Can you ID this TV model? Proscan RCA- jpg link picture
Am I missing something here - the model & s/n are just about always on a tag
or sticker on the outside of the TV, generally on the back. I presume they aren't or you wouldn't have posted this. Did you find the place where they used to be? Not trying to be funny here, but did you use a flashlight to look for the sticker? WT "none" wrote in message ... http://makeashorterlink.com/?W38753C86 shows front and back and remote.

RCA places two slightly different stickers in two places, one inside one on the back of cabient that customers see. Servicers who opens these RCA for warrenty job has to record one more character that ends the serial number. Also the full service model is on back sticker, inside sticker has only the model number missing four or three characters. For examples on sticker on back; Model F27649 (larger print) Service model: F27649TX51 (smaller finer print) Serial: 123123123 Inside sticker (with case off looking at chassis somewhere) Model F27649 Service Serial: 1231231234 or a letter in place of "4" as 10th character, Later ones now have mixed characters: B231B30DXP, back sticker serial number shows: B231B30DX, all are examples. Yours have quide plus, that means either chassis CTC197 or CTC203 even ATC113. Don't worry about owner manual, set is simple to operate explore the menu, just disable the guide by first press menu then press 8 (that selects 8 for setup) telling all questions no, then select "begin watching..." oh, I forgot to add; disgard the address code. Headphones symbol for stereo (audio). Doggy button (fetch) is return to last channel you left from I think or fetch that selected item in the guide plus menu. I don't like guide stuff. If your chassis is CTC203, bring it to shop and have them remove coil at location: L14401 and clean waxy crap off both coil and circuit board, clear wax out holes the coil pins goes through and reinstall coil. This is a precaution to prevent blows up or future problems. Shouldn't cost you about 40 to 50 just for labor. The earliest symptoms of this failure is blanking out picture with audio still working, if not fixed asap at this point, some day one part shorts out and may take out the power supply. All are not expensive to rebuild basically annoying. That waxy stuff breaks the solder joint this is reason must remove part and clean everything to remove wax. FYI: to other techs, I just had an ATC113 come in with that classic coil coated in wax stuff for first time, fixed successfully as usual. Those RCA sets is decent and tube has fairly good life.

Best I can tell according to local laws here, that is a stolen tv set until
proven otherwise. All items that have serial numbers on them are considered STOLEN in some/many localities whenever the serial number has been removed from the unit. Just exactly where did you buy this tv set from? Out of the trunk of someones car? David none wrote in message ... http://makeashorterlink.com/?W38753C86 shows front and back and remote.

Thanks for the help, but I bought it from a well off family, which we are
friends with. And they have owned it since new. No need to assume! When you assume you .... "David" wrote in message ...

why turn off the tv guide, how does it work.
It would be useful to have tv guide, but does it work if you don't have cable? "Jason D." wrote in message ...

Correct Term should be "presume" therefore no-one is implicated as being a
"donkey's couzin"?? BTW inside the set there should be at least 1 probably 2 tags, if they are not there then someone has removed them for who knows what reason. If you do not want to open the set up then take it to a shop and have them do it and id it for you. IMHO!! "none" wrote in message ...
