The Magnavox TS2560 B101 television can become stuck in demo mode, which prevents normal operation. Users have reported that pressing both the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously on the TV itself effectively exits demo mode. While universal remotes, such as the Phillips Magnavox model, can be used to control the TV, they may require specific programming codes that may not always work. If all else fails, obtaining a replacement remote directly from Magnavox is an option, though it may be more expensive.

Go buy a universal remote. I've had to do that in the past. The Universal remote will set itself to the tv so you can go through the set up.computerex said:Hello. I have a Magnavox TS2560 B101 television that is stuck in demo mode. My parents have thrown away the manual along with the remote, and none of the keys on the TV will work. The demo mode simply shows all the TV's features, and plays continuously. The only way to turn the television off is to pull the plug. Does anyone have a clue as to what to do ?
Your remote doesn't automatically scan for the code, then blink, then shut off and store the code for you? Mine did and I used it on 3 different tv's.computerex said:Thanks for your suggestion Evo, however unfortunately I have already attempted, and failed at trying to get the T.V working again using a universal remote. The remote I am using requires me to input a 4 digit code that configures it for each device based on the manufacturer. None of the specified codes seem to work, but I wouldn't know anyway because if you are searching the remote's internal library for the correct code the only way to tell weather the correct code is found is by changing the channel. Unfortunately I can't do that as the TV is stuck in demo mode!
