On all channels there is a large black square in the center of the screen,
blocking out all but the edges of the picture! It is impossible to watch
the tv. If I show any part of the menu, the black box goes away. But
it comes back once the menu is gone, blocking the picture.

Check the TV's closed caption settings. It sounds like you have one
of the never used text modes turned on. Either turning off captioning
all together, or changing the mode should fix it.

You suggestion solved my problem also (two years later).

Thanks, Scott
