Gerry,
BEFORE doing any of the things that Jim has suggested (which are a very
good methodical way to solve problems with your TV and components) I
would do the following. Turn on the TV and then either take the
batteries out of the remote control or move it out in the backyard or
somewhere too far away to operate the TV and then transmit. It would be
shame to find out that the problem was RF getting into the remote which
was then bringing up the menu on the TV. I really doubt this is the
problem but since it is so easy to try I would do it first just in case.
