Remote Control Problems
ProblemSolution
The remote control doesn’t work. If you have problems with the remote control, press any button on the remote to check if the light on the top comes on.
If the light comes on, move closer to the TV when you use the remote control and aim it at a more direct angle. Make sure the room lighting is not too bright and not shining directly on the remote control or the TV receiver window. Also clean the transmitter area on the top of the remote and the receiver window on the TV to see if that helps.
If the light doesn’t come on, make sure the batteries are inserted correctly and are working. If necessary, replace the batteries.
Make sure the equipment switch at the top of the remote control is set to the device you’re trying to control.
If you still have problems with the remote control, try the other suggestions on page 34.
