Would
you like to program the Universal Remote that came with your Dish Solo
DVR VIP 612 to control the volume of your receiver, tuner, or stereo
instead of your TV's volume?
The
first step in using the Universal Remote Control that came with your
Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 to control the volume level of your receiver,
tuner, or stereo is to program the remote to control your audio device
using the AUX mode button.
Once
your remote controls your audio device in AUX mode, you probably want to continue to control the
volume of your stereo even if the remote is in SAT, TV or VCR mode.
To setup your Dish
Solo DVR VIP 612 Universal Remote to control the volume of your stereo
regardless of which mode it is in, follow these steps:
Press and hold the AUX
button until all the mode buttons are lit, and then let it go.
Press the POUND (#) button.
Press the PLUS side
of the VOLUME button.
Press 0.
Press the POUND (#) button. The AUX button flashes three times to tell
you the programming is complete.
Confirm the VOLUME buttons
are operating the tuner/amplifier's volume control by pressing SAT or TV, and then adjusting the volume. Your tuner/amplifier's
volume should change rather than your TV's volume.
Your
Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 Universal Remote is now setup to control the
volume of your stereo regardless of which mode it is in

You have two choices to make. One is to get the TV repaired. The second would be to get and outboard tuner box, and feed the picture to the TV, and the audio to a stereo, or other audio amplifier. Those tuner boxes are very cheap compared to getting a repair person to fix the audio problem.
1
Make sure that your audio cables are plugged in properly to the correct ports if your audio is distorted or noisy. Every cable should be inserted completely. If you still encounter bad audio, replace the cable and then attempt to use a different device with the old cable. This will help you pinpoint the source of the bad audio problem.
2
Use the "Volume up" button on the remote or TV buttons panel to turn up the TV audio volume if the volume is quiet. If the volume is still quiet, check to see if your audio source device has volume settings. If it does, turn the up the volume on your device (see your device documentation if you need help with this).
3
Press the "Mute" button on your remote control to disable the mute function if you can't hear any audio. Once disabled, press and hold the "Volume up" button on your remote control to turn up the volume. If there is still no audio, press the "Menu" button on your remote control, select the "Audio" menu, and ensure that the "TV Speakers" are set to "On." If you are still not having any luck and are using the built-in TV tuner, open "MTS Audio" inside the "Tuner" menu and make sure it is set to "Stereo/English." If there is still no audio, verify that all your audio cables (including the antenna cable if you are using one) are plugged securely into the proper ports on your TV and audio source device (if applicable). If you are using an antenna, reposition it to a clear, open area; preferably near a window. If your audio source device has audio settings, check to make sure they are set the way they should be (see device documentation).
Of course it has no volume the KT56 is a radio tuner! It needs to be connected to a power amplifier to hear anything. The audio out sockets need to be plugged into a stereo amp that has speakers. The KT56 is not a stand alone device!
Is it the original remote that came with the TV? If you're using a universal remote or one that came with your audio receiver or DVD player or whatever then you may have accidentally switched modes to audio or something. Be sure the TV mode is selected.
The remotes for the TV and Direct TV box are universal remotes that can operate very basic functions for whatever else they are programmed to control. If you can program the TVs remote to operate the Direct TV box it will basically only control power and channel. Maybe something else, but not much. The same goes for the Direct TV remote. It will control basic functions on the TV; power, channel & volume. Best bet would be to purchase a universal remote that can learn functions from the original or just keep both remotes available by the TV.
PIP (Picture In Picture) - Your television should have the capability because it has two built in tuners. It can show two channels at the same time or show one channel and one video source (whatever is connected to the audio/video inputs). However, because you are using DTV (Direct TV) you are very limited because you are not using the built in tuners on your television. You should be able to see one picture from the DTV channel and one from lets say your DVD player. If your DTV box has two tuners built in then you should have the PIP capabilities from your DTV and not your television. I'm guessing your DTV is a single tuner (one satellite cable to your box). If you want to watch two different channels you'll need to either upgrade your box or attach another box to your television.
Option: you could also connect an antenna to your television this way you can use the PIP function. Obviously you'll only be able to view whatever local stations you can get with the antenna. Depending on where you live you might or might not have a lot of channels to choose from.
