My tv remote isn't working?

Question

Okay, I got a Sylvania tv set and its original remote isn't working. I then went and got a universal remote but that didn't work either. It works fine on my dvd player and other tv set. So, maybe its the Sylvania tv?

Answer 1

Try checking the battery.

Then go to an electricity store, maybe that would help you.

Answer 2

If you have made sure the batteries are good and the correct programming code is entered, it could be your TV. Make sure the infrared receiver on the TV is not blocked or so dirty (pets love to l**k them) it cannot receive the signal. It doesn't take much to block an infrared signal.

Answer 3

It might be, but you should also note that each "universal" remote only works with a certain set of TVs. In particular, it could have been made prior to the introduction of your set, or it may not have many codes for Sylvania-branded TVs.

Sorry, but that's life.
