Ws 65711 65 in. rear projection. can not get the remote to work. has new batteries in it.

did you try new batteries in the remote? if the tv has buttons on the side and one of them being power di you try to push that? did you push tv power or cable power holding the buttons longer? those things might work.

If the tv was moved it may have a loose cable...you can get remotes for way less than that.

first you need the original remote to do this, with the set on use the remote to enter the following (menu) 8,2,7,0 this will bring up the options menu the first thing in this list is "Inital" and should already be highlighted then simply press enter on the remote, this should reset the tv

Is your remote one of the "universal" ones that allows you control multiple boxes?

If so, be sure you are selecting the correct input (TV, DVD, AUX, SAT...etc).

It's also possible that you will have to reprogram your TV to accept the remote's input. This can happen even if the TV and the Remote were sold together. Check your TV/remote manual for the syncing instructions and associated codes.

You could try a replacement remote from www.Remotes.com
You will need an original or the replacement to access some of the features of your television

I hope that this helps.

There is usually a remote module mounted on the inside of the front of the tv that senses the remote signal. This controls all functions of the tv. If you are not comfortable in troubleshooting this, I would recommend a repair center.

Thats great that problem is resolved. Have a nice time.

you will have to get a new mitsu remote in order to make the adjustment. Most universal remotes are made to just do basic functions, unless you start getting into nice sony touchscreen remotes but then they cost 100 by themselves.
the remote to a mitsubishi wd55513, wd65513 etc will also work on this set, I have done it before.
Here is one on ebay:

Remote batteries.

Take out the batteries or simply reprogram the remote by using the manual search function on the remote. There is probably a couple of different settings in the remote for this type of TV set, Good Luck
