Somehow after I had been messing with the vcr remote to do some recording, I can only change channels on the tv when the vcr is on and when I am using the vcr remote. It's like the vcr remote has taken over the channel button. When the vcr is off, the only thing that works on the tv remote is the the volume and input buttons. I've been messing with the split screen trying to get it it work...when I hit split screen on my Tv remote, I can get the Tv remote channels to work. But I don't want to have to watch in split screen. Does anybody know what sequence of buttons I need to press to get it back to normal? I've tried the video/tv button on the vcr remote.
Check if the remote is in TV position, that is, because most of the remote controllers have the feature that you can program them for use with another devices. Make shure that one button that says "TV" in pressed and released once before you try to change any function on the TV.

SOURCE: My Olevia TV will not change channels using the remote or buttons
First thing, check batteries in remote, next make sure there are no obstructions between your remote and your tv. i would then call olevia tech support and describe your problem. sounds like the remote sensor has failed. usually covered under warranty. check with olevia to see if they have a factory wide problem or issue with remotes. persistance pays off in this case so just keep on top of tech support. hope this helps, john.

try unplugging while the TV is still on and plug it back after 5 mins and check. it should work.
Mine did. I know this may be a crude method, but it worked.
