What's Wrong
• If you don't press
a button for 20
seconds in a
programming
sequence, the
remote shuts off its
programming
function.
• The keys have two
sides.
• The remote may
not be in the mode
for the equipment
you want to
control.
• The remote control
needs to be pointed
right at the TV (or
other equipment).
• The remote control
may be missing
batteries, the
batteries in the
remote may be
inserted the wrong
way, or maybe the
batteries are weak
or dead.
• The remote isn't
set up to control
the equipment.
• UHF signals from
a neighbor's
remote may be
controlling your
receiver.
• You have
accidentally
changed the
channel on your
TV.
What You Can Do
Start over again.
Turn the keys over until you find the
correct key.
• Press the correct mode button to set the
remote to the mode for the equipment
you want to control.
• The remote control uses IR signals to
control all equipment except for the
receiver (when using UHF). IR signals
travel only 40 feet or less, and can't go
through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control right
at the equipment, with no objects to
block the signal path.
• If the batteries are missing or dead, put
fresh AAA-size batteries in. If the
remote has fresh batteries, check
whether you put them in the right way.
If you didn't, take them out and put
them in the right way.
• Make sure you set up the remote
to control all the equipment you want
to use. See Program the Remote to
Control Your TV on page C-4 and
Programming for Other Equipment on
page 2.
• See Avoiding Remote Conflicts on page
9 for instructions to correct this
problem.
• Make sure your TV (and VCR, if
connected) is tuned to the correct
channel. Also try using the RECOVER
button as described on page C-6.
