SOURCE: vx37l stopped working with FiOS remote

I read in another forum where Vizio sometimes uses Vidtech codes. I got 0205 to work on my new Vizio V037L with my Verizon FiOS remote (Phillips RC144).

SOURCE: vizio remote control not working

Hi, I had the same problem. My vizio remote for my 42 inch 2 month old vizio also seemed to stop working. Here's what I did: My vizio remote (like most remote's nowadays) was designed for multiple components (tv, dvd, vcr, etc). All you need to do to make the remote work again is set it back to tv. Now, the confusing thing about vizio remotes is that they actually have TWO places where you can switch the remote to the appliance you want to control. One is on top of the remote, the other is on the BOTTOM. Switch it back to TV using the BOTTOM. My remote had stopped working because I had inadvently switched it to another component on the BOTTOM component switch.

SOURCE: vur9 remote only controls the volume and nothing else, cant change channels or anything any suggestions?

Press the TV button on the lower right (not the upper right) to tell the remote to control the TV.

The upper buttons are the Input Selector buttons. The lower buttons are the Device Control Selector buttons.

I had this same problem until this dawned on me.

Problem with volume

Look for any jammed buttons either on the TV or remote. Try removing the battery from remote for some time. Try changing the input device to something that works well. Look for any audio loose contacts at rear.

Have you checked your remote to see if its working? If you have a digital camera or camera phone, point the remote at the lense and see if it shows up on camera screen. If it is working then the IR sensor on the tv could be bad.

Picture does not fit into 52 in as if there is a zoom on can't see writing at bottom of screen, for example basketball scores

You have to press the hd zoom# or format or wide (or etc.) button on your cable tv or satellite tv remote. If that isn't doing anything then you might have your cable box or satellite tv receiver set on the wrong resolution for your television. Your television's remote might also have a wide or format button on it that needs to be pressed. Also make sure your television is on the right input.

How do I get the basketball scores to show on the bottom of my tv?

Usually these scores only show up on sports networks (NFL Network, ESPN, CBS Sports, etc.). On DirecTV there is a button on the remote that shows the scores, but again, they are only available on sports networks. Some newer internet connected televisions have buttons on the remotes that show the scores.

I have a 52 in LCD tv. the picture is too big. i cannot see scores from basketball games becuase the print is outside the picture. i have adjusted the vertical but it is outside the frame on all 4 sides.

Use ur remote push view mode.U get four modes.The best two modes.Side Bars or S.stretch pick etheir of these modes will make it small picture and fit the screen.

Mintex 37 inch wide screen. remote is working however cannot change channel, input source or volum. only turns tv off. The buttone on tv doesnot work connot change input source or volume

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.
