Why can't I change channels with remote - Samsung 40 LN40D630 LCD TV

hi

are you changing channels on the remote or on the tv?

take the batteries out of the remote and try and change the channels on the tv. if you can change channels fine on the tv then the remote buttons are stuck. usually in the battery area on the remote is a small screw take that screw out and disassemble your remote and use a q tip and rubbing alcohol to clean out your remote

There are manual controls for the channel change on the TV just look.

To see if the problem is with your remote control, go to the receiver and use the channel up/down buttons on the receiver itself. If you can change your channels with the buttons on the receiver, the batteries in your remote control probably need to be changed.

If you can't change channels from the receiver, turn off the receiver. Then unplug it for at least 15 seconds. Plug the receiver back it and turn it on. Again, try changing channels from the receiver itself.

Tune to a channel, and while programming is playing, try tuning to the missing channel by entering the channel number on the remote control keypad to see if channels change. Do not try to select the channel from a channel list, program guide, or favorites list.

If this approach takes you to the correct channel, you need to adjust your favorites list function. Press the "guide" button on your remote. Look for a button on your remote called "fav" or "list." Press it several times and watch for an indication at the top of the guide that you are moving from "all channels" to a particular favorites list.

If you are locked on one channel only, your Channel Lock feature is likely active. Consult your owner's manual to unlock the rest of your channels. See your owner's manual for information on managing favorite channel lists and locking out channels. Enter your password, if necessary.

u have to press the enter button after entering the channel number

Try to change channels by manually entering the numbers on your remote. If this works then you need to reprogram your channels.

See if you can change channels by manually punching them in on your remote. If so, you need to go to your menu, channels and autoscan your channels again. Then you should be able to use your forward and backward buttons again.

some remotes used to have a key to switch between single or double digits marked ( -/--)

make shure it is turned on the sat setting

The button on the remote next to 0 and below 9 has to be depressed to _ _ before you select any 2 digit channels. I had the same problem and accidently figured it out. Hope it helps. TC

my universal unit won't change the tv channels, everything else works except the channel changing. Does anyone have a solution., The company is only open during the week.
