I have a remote control TV. It is an old unit.

Suggestion. Check the battery in the remote

If the VCR button lights up when you press the Power button, you are not in the correct mode to operate the TV. If the remote is programmed correctly, when you are in SAT mode, you can press the large RED button to turn your receiver off/on. The RED TV button will turn your TV off/on. I have provided links to program your remote to your TV again. I have also provided codes for your Sanyo TV.

Instructions to program your remote to your TV (begin with step 6):

Here are the TV codes: 590, 683, 589, 542, 652

I hope this helps.

You can quickly test the remote in question with a digital camera... please vist my Tips & Tricks so see how.

Remove all batteries from your remotes. Unplug the unit for several minutes. Plug unit in and use the controls on the set to turn it on and adjust the volume. This will eliminate the remotes. They could have a button stuck. If this does not work you may have a legitimate problem and need a tech.

Must be the IR receiver usually is soldered on a circuit board. Time to call your warranty..

called my daughter and she was able,to find code out for 27" Magnavox/Phillips...its 0054....worked the first time on the large I think "living Solutions" remote for the elderly....

Try to locate the line of sight sensor on your TV that does not respond to the remote. The lack of response indicates that the sensor on the TV needs to be cleaned. It does not take much (dust, wax, cleaner residue) to block the signal.

I'm not sure what type of TV you are using,, but most all Large Screens have a reset button someplace. You should be able to reset the TV and fix the problem. Its not the remote, making the image appear, but a command from it was misinterpeted. Sometimes turning the set off will work, but most often it needs to be reset.

EXCEPTION... if you are using a cable box. Disconnect it from power, wait 1 minute and then see if the problem exists. If the cable box is on even with the DVD you may still have this issue. Please reset the cable, and if that doesn't work, reset the TV.
Thanks! //D
