On occasion, an RCA television may need to have certain options reset in order to restore default settings. Software resets, such as resetting the Picture Control, the Parental Control lock and the Wake-Up Timer, can easily be restored to the default settings by accessing the settings menu via the remote control. A Hard Reset is recommended if there are hardware problems with the TV, such as a loss of picture or if the TV isn't turning on properly.
Instructions
Hard Reset
1. Unplug the TV's power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Wait 5 minutes.
3. Plug the TV's electrical cord back into the electrical outlet. If this does not resolve the problem contact RCA Customer Support (see Reference for website) or a local television repair store.

5. Press or select 1 to open the Picture Quality menu.

7. Press the Menu button on the remote.
8. Press or select 4 to open the V-Chip Parental Control menu.
9. Press and hold the volume down and channel up buttons for 5 seconds once the passcode prompt appears. This will reset the passcode to 0000; enter this to access the parental controls.
Reset Wake-Up Timer
10. Press the Menu button on the remote.
11. Press or select 5 to open the Timer menu.
12. Press or select 3 to open the Wake-Up Timer menu.
