Sony V444ES Receiver

Try to do a power reset first by having the TV unplugged from the power outlet for one minute, then do factory reset. Do the factory reset 3 times for a full reset to occur. Once the initial setup screen appears, go on and press the up arrow on the remote then power on the TV. If the TV still does the same thing, the TV would require service. You can click on this link for service options.

Set the harmony remote to switch the pioneer first, then the rest of your stuff.

Having to unplug suggests a issue where the set is getting confused, if using any kind of box for signal or have a receiver in line remove power from all and after several minutes plug back.

On the remote control, find the calibrate setting on the setup menu. Increase the rear volume there. On a soundspace 10, this is done by hitting the '+' button on the large remote control. Once you turn the gain up, you may also notice echo. Adjust that with the delay settings.

I'm having the same issue for about a year now, I thought it was a ground issue but tried several outlets without any luck. This behavior is totally random. The SA-EX310 seems to be rebooted and sometimes it turn off and on 3 times in a second.

I got Yamaha RX-V3800 with intermittent power.
Cause by capacitor C4 22nF 630V on the control power board.
After replacing the capacitor, receiver again working OK!

Hi, Mary with Dish Network Customer Service. The TV2 remote (UHF) can work up to 200 feet from the receiver but can also get interference issues that cause it to not work consistently. One of the things that I recommend is to readdress the remote to the receiver and possible installing a pigtail to the remote antenna on the back of the receiver. I have this on one of my receivers and have never had an issue since. To troubleshoot try these steps:

Step 1: Verify correct Remote being used
Check that the remote matches the TV. Use remote key or sticker on remote to confirm. TV1 is located in the same room as your DISH receiver.
Step 2: Check that UHF Remote Antenna is Secure/Upright
If UHF, check that your UHF remote antenna is securely connected to the "Remote Antenna" port on the back of your receiver and that the antenna is upright.
Step 3: Address Remote
To SAT: Access "System Info" - press and release the "SAT" button then press the RECORD button on remote control. If unable to access System Info using the receiver, use "Video Frozen/Locked Up".
To TV/DVD/AUX: Check for current remote codes and address remote.
Step 4: Check that Remote Control Batteries are Fresh
Check that the you have recently replaced the batteries. If not, install new batteries.
Step 5: Reset Receiver
If the issue is only on ONE receiver, unplug the DISH receiver for 10 seconds and plug back in.
Please note: It may take up to 5 minutes for the reset process to be completed.

If you are still having an issue, to install a pigtail you will need a piece of Coax cable, approx. 3 feet long and a barrel connector. Remove the remote antenna from the back of the receiver, attach the coax cable to the receiver. At the other end of the coax cable insert the barrel connector and add the remote antenna. Then drape the coax cable behind and towards where the TV2 is located. It takes the remote antenna away from where all the electronics are, which are major causes of UHF interference. I hope this helps resolve your issue.

Hi Ms.Garcia

I can understand your concern. I'd be in a better position to help you out.

When you say the laptop turned OFF and if the power button blinks 3-4 times then i suspect its the issue with either power supply or RAM.

Before that i'd request you to try some basic steps. Please unplug all the cables behind the tower (CPU). Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds and reconnect all the cables back. Then turn on the computer, now check and see whether are we having the same issue or not.

If still the issue persists please start the computer and get into BIOS screen by tapping the F2 or DEL key moment when you see the computer logo (GATEWAY). Wait for 2-3 minutes and see are we having the same issue or not. If its happen then we could easily find out its an issue with the hardware issue.

Else boot the computer and see if its happening again or not. If its the same then it might be an OS
issue. Hence please follow the below steps:

1 - Click on start and go to RUN (if its XP)
Click on Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> RUN (VISTA, 7)
2. Type services.msc.
3. Click on OK
4. Now check for the option RPC (Remote Procedure Call)
5. Double click on that and change the Startup Type from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC (Provided if its MANUAL)
6. Then click on RECOVERY up at the top
7. Now select the option as TAKE NO ACTION in all 3 options.
8. Finally click on APPLY & OK.

Now restart the computer. Later check & see if its happening or not.
If still the same please revert. So that i could give you more information on tomorrow morning.

Thanks in advance

Hi there, this is Cheri Torres with DISH Network customerservice. I came across your post recently and wanted to see if I couldhelp you get this issue resolved. If your remote is controlling the receiver byitself, continuously scrolling through the channels and volume on its own,sounds like you have an issue with interference. The interference couldpossibly be by another person in your area having the same remote address asyou or you might just need to change your remote address to eliminate any otherinterference you might be experiencing. I would like to give you instructionson changing the remote address on your TV to stop this issue from happening. Ihope you find these steps useful in fixing your issue. If you have any furtherquestions or concerns feel free to post back here or email me [email protected] :)

1. Go to System Info screen. In order to get into system info you will have to press the system info button on the front of the DISH receiver box. If your receiver does not have this button you can also press the power button once and then the up arrow button once on the front of the DISH receiver. The last option you can try if all else fails, would be to open the smart card door on the front left side of the receiver and pull out the smart card.
2. Once your in the system info screen you will want to find the remote address. For TV1 you will see primary remote address and for TV2 you will see secondary remote address. You are going to want to change the number that is listed in the small white box.
   
3. Hold down the SAT button until all mode lights light up.
4. Enter a number between 1 and 15 using the numeric keypad on the remote.
5. Press the pound (#) button
6. Once the SAT button blinks three times, press record. Note: If successful the number selected in step 3 will appear in the System Info screen under Remote Address.

It is wired so that you control the light with the remote. You cannot have it both ways. You either control it with the wall switch or the remote. Once you kill the power to the receiver by turning off power at the wall switch, you are only applying power to the receiver when you turn power back on. You are not supplying power to the light. You then must turn on the light with the remote. This is the purpose of a remote fan/light control. You could rewire it to control the light with the switch and only control the fan with the remote if you wish, but as you have it now, it is working correctly.
