One day my tv started displaying numbers and letters and you cant get it off the screen. the buttons dont work because the tv wont recieve any signal. when i hit the menu button on the tv it changes between different things. here is what it says on different screens:
1st screen- 5Z38-919 38
2nd screen- BRT 98=o(66)+u(32)
3rd screen- CNT 78=o( 0)+u(78)
4th screen- CLR 60=o( 8)+u(52)
5th screen- TNT 68=o(36)+u(32)
6th screen- V-TNT 78=o(36)+u(32)
7th screen- S-TNT 62=o(30)+u(32)
and it goes on i don't know what to do.

after getting into it with a customer service rep at Sylvania AND philips (who produced the universal remote control that brought those codes up for me) I just turned the TV off with the power button on the TV (instead of unplugging it or trying to turn it off through the cable box) and that worked.
