DEW means that there is condensation inside the unit. Turn it off and unplug it for a few hours. The unit needs to reach equilibrium with the temperature and humidity with the room. The TV is cooler than the room and the moisture will continue to be a problem until the components of the TV reach room temperature.

If you fail to allow the TV to reach equilibrium, some components may become damaged by the moisture. If that has happened, resolving the error may take major repairs. Electronics do not like moisture.

I hope this helps.

Part # is C1035a

Pretty cheap considering you want a perfect replacement. To be honest though, they'e exactly like Directv Controllers. GREAT REMOTES. Get the genuine remote replacement. Hope that helps.

Hi! actually most sansui are manufactured from china, so you should try the codes designated on china brand of tv"s.

try here, they are about ten bucks.

Did you check the fuse inside the plug on the 12volt cord?

I'm sorry, but this tv is not digital. You might be able to use an inverter that converts 12volts DC to 120volts AC to power a digital converter box.

You may be able to order a new cord from Fox International 888 369 0304.

i have sansui sv-2102.now i change ic tea5101a and i put tea5101b.now i have probelem with green picture. tea5101a not avilable.now what can i do ?

there is what is called a "dew sensor" in a lot of vcr's that keep you from playing a tape if it senses moisture in the unit because a tape will stick to the video head and get all bunged up. sometimes they go bad and will keep you from playing a tape even when there is no moisture present. if your are electronically inclined you can take the back off and locate the dew sensor, then disconnect it. the constant whirring noise is the unit's way of trying to dry off the video head cylinder. the dew sensor, which is usally located behind the video head, is a dark grey thing about a half inch by half inch and has two wires going to it.
