If you walk into the television room, you may find some foreign looking displays or menus on your screen. This can easily happen if someone has accidentally sat down on your remote or a child has been playing with it. In some cases, when you try to remove the display you end up with even more displays on your screen. Identify what is currently displaying on your Sanyo TV, and press the correct keys on your remote to remove them.
