Hi there Stacey, my name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. We do not promise that our remote will control all the functions of you TV. The codes used to program your DISH remote to the TV may be limited to some functions. You can try addressing your remote to the TV using different codes. I have listed the steps below to assist with programming the remote to your TV. If you have any other questions, let me know at [email protected]!

You can lookup the different codes here: http://www.mydish.com/support/apps/remotecodes.aspx?WT.svl=leftnav

1.) Press and hold the clear TV button until all mode lights light up.
2.) Release and TV light will be blinking.
3.) Enter code and press #. The TV button should flash 3 times.
4.) Try functions (Volume, Power, etc..) and see if it is working.
5.) If no function, repeat steps 1-4 with another code.

Try to push the TV button that is lit red at top middle of remote for 5 seconds in stead of hitting input. In other words by holding the tv button down it might trigger it to respond better. Thanks Mike

hi i have the same problem. yamaha rx-v870 with a remote control that works perfectly except for the volume up/down. i pressed the buttons for a minute and applied some lemon gunk remover liquid and this helped for a very short period. i am wondering if the problem is with the little motor inside the receiver that rotates the volume knob itself, as opposed to an infrared problem on the transmitter/receiver.

It is possible that those buttons have failed, but a bit more likely the remote lost the codes for the TV itself... since almost everything the remote controls... is on the DVR. I apologize if I am guessing wrong in assuming other "TV" buttons (like INPUT) don't function either.

To re-program your remote to recognize your TV (like when the tech first set up the system) choose from the following receiver types to find the correct remote control TV codes for your Zenith.

Remote TV Codes for 722/622/612/411/222/211 Receivers
Remote TV Codes for 625/522/512/510/508/501 Receivers
Remote TV Codes for 811/381/322/311/301 Receivers

Do you have fresh batteries in the remote? You did not provide your TV brand so I can't provide you the codes for your specific TV. Below I have provided instructions on how to perform a power scan. If this doesn't work, you may need a new remote.

• Remote: Basic Remote (Television Only)
  1. Turn the Television On.
  2. Press and hold the clear TV button for three seconds until the LED flashes.
  3. Press and release the redTV Power button.
  4. Press and release the Up or Down Arrow on the remote until the television turns off.
  5. After the television turns off, press and release the # button.
  6. Test functionality with the TV.
  7. Return to Step 2 if the remote is not able to turn the TV On/Off, change the volume and mute the television.

I don't show we have a code for the TCL (Australia) brand TV. Below I have provided instructions on how to perform a power scan.

You were attempting to perform a power scan initially. The second procedure is manually attempting to address the remote to your TV. I will give you the procedures again so you can try one more time. Emerson TV is one brand we have a low percentage of success getting our remotes to work. If it still doesn't work, we could try replacing the remote.

TV code: 623, 667, 666, 233, 516, 537, 544, 642, 655, 699, 000, 999, 888, and 720.

Remotes: Basic (Television Only)

1. Turn the Television On.
2. Press and hold the clear TV button for six seconds until the LED flashes.
3. Enter the three-digit code using the buttons on the number pad.
4. Press #. Note: The LED will flash three times.
5. Test functionality with the TV.
6. Return to Step 2 if the remote is not able to turn the TV On/Off, change the volume and mute the television.

Remote Power Scan: Basic Remote (Television Only)

1. Turn the Television On.
2. Press and hold the clear TV button for six seconds until the LED flashes.
3. Press and release the red TV Power button.
4. Press and release the Up or Down Arrow on the remote until the television turns off once every second.
5. After the television turns off, press and release the # button.
6. Test functionality with the TV.
7. Return to Step 2 if the remote is not able to turn the TV On/Off, change the volume and mute the television.

If I read your post correctly it sounds like, the remote no longer works the volume or power for the TV set. If this is correct follow the steps below for a Power Scan. If this is not the issue or the steps don't work feel free to contact me and we will sort this out!
Power Scan
1.) Hold down the clear "TV" button on the remote for four seconds, then press 500 pound ( #)
2.) Hold down the clear "TV" button on the remote for four seconds, press the big power button once.
3.) Press the channel up button once per second until the TV turns off then press pound (#).

Try several functions Mute Volume and Power to make sure the remote works properly then press "SAT".
