How to unlock locked menu on tv Can't Post

I have a problem with my JVC TV. Since my daughter had her friends over and they used a Mac computer via a HDMI cable connected to my tv. When they connected the Mac, a JVC logo appeared on the screen and the teenagers tried to get it to disappear. They managed to do this but all my channels were completely mixed around after this and some were missing. I wanted to go to the menu and make an auto search for the channels but the menu was and still is blocked. When I press the menu, I cannot navigate to the sunmenus, and not even to the head levels in the menu, It is somehow stuck at the PICTURE menu. I cannot select other items such as sound, features or set up - and I cannot choose the sub menus under picture either such as picture mode, contrast etc. Therefore I cannot do anything, it is completely frozen and I cannot do autosearch or change the picture settings (they are also wrong after the mac was connected) and picture frame seems bigger than the screen.
I am really frustrated and have tried everything, just nothing I can do to activate the menu again :-(
Also, on channel 2, somhow there is a small icon with a book, I cannot remove this either.
In the 'information' tab menu, I cannot navigate either and there is a little lock under the PR menu but I cannot choose or navigate to this sub menu.
WHAT IN THE WORLD CAN I DO?
Best regards
Cecilia

Thanks for the advice, however, I have really tried googling a solution without any luck though :-( The main problem is that when I choose menu, I get stuck. I cannot Use the Up and Down or Channel buttton to toggle through the menu selections and therefore I cannor get to any setting selection that would allow me to reset or unlock the padlock icon.
If you have better skills in what to search for to find the right solution, I would be very happy if you would share your results or advice with me.
Best regards from Denmark.

A model number might help, but the JVC instructions that I have say press the press the display and video status buttons together and the service menu will be displayed. I'm not sure that getting into the service menu will help in correcting the problem that you describe though. I think what you want to do is SET UP which again the instructions that I have say press menu 3 times (MENU appears), press 9 (INITIAL menu appears), press 1 and the set should automatically program active channels

Thanks for your reply Mel! I can get to the service menu by pressing the menu button on the remote, but I only get a display of the menu, I cannot navigate up and down and choose between the different menus or choose any sub menus :-( How on earth can I activate the navigation options in the menu? The model is a LT-32A80ZU

Go to JVC Support and download the users manual for instuctions. It looks like the closest that they have to your model number is LT-32A200 but it may be close enough for your purposes.
