I have purchased a new remote for my sanyo tv. the lights on the remote buttons will not light up.

press the helpful button Step 1 Insert two AA batteries into the universal remote control if you haven't already done so and then turn on your Sanyo TV. Press and hold the "TV" button on the remote until it lights up.
Step 2 Input the following three-digit codes into your remote control one by one using the remote keypad: "004," "013," "049," "108," "110," "180" and "209." The TV will turn off when you enter the correct code for your particular Sanyo model.
Step 3 Press the "TV" button on the remote once more to confirm the code after you've identified the correct one. You can now use the universal remote to control your Sanyo TV.

AddressRemote to TV

1. While at the device location (TV, etc), point the remote at the device. Press and hold the device button on the remote (TV, Aux, etc). - All four mode buttons should light up
2. Enter the three-digit remote control code - The mode button (TV, Aux, etc.)you selected should light up
   

1. Press the Pound (#) button - The mode button you are programming should flash three times
2. Press the large, red POWER button - The device should turn off

Please let me know if you have further questions. Thanks.

Is this the original remote or another remote? There are a few things to check. First try new batteries in the remote. (If it is not the original remote, check that the code hasn't been changed.) Next do the buttons on the TV itself work?

If the TV responds to the buttons on the unit, then use a digital camera to take a picture of the remote (the IR beam side) when someone presses a button. Looking at the picture you should see light from the remote. If you do not see any light, then replace the remote.

If the remote is sending a signal, then the receiver has failed. You may be able to replace this at partstore.com or shopjimmy.com. First try searching on the model. If that fails, open the tv and record the part number. Search for the part itself (since many parts are used for more than one model, it may be listed for another brand).

If the buttons on the tv do not work, then the entire board probably has failed. Again try to find the part.

I hope this helps.

until the INDICATOR LIGHT lights, then release.
3. Press and release the button for the device you are programming
(TV, VCR, DVD, etc.). For AUX, press AUX then the device button
you are assigning to AUX. The INDICATOR LIGHT will blink then
remain lit.
4. Enter the three or four digit ( or three digit)code for your device using the number
buttons in the GE Universal Remote. After your code is entered the
INDICATOR LIGHT will turn off.
5.Aim the remote at the device (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.) and press the

sanyo tv codes are 0506,0311,0612,0002,0428,0802,0412,0619 and emerson vcr are0626,0126,0826,0227,0327,0630,0632,0134,0037,0625,0924,0324,0128,0228,0428,0528,0447,0247,0724,0325,0526,0726,0027,0527,0827,0927,0628,0530,0830,0731,0634,0735

The most easiest solution is purchasing a universal remote control that can scan and identify the code on its own. I just paid $4.94 for a new universal remote control from Walmart. The setup was extremely easy! Hold and press SETUP until the red light stayed on, press TV, and then continuously pressing ON/OFF until the TV turned off. The last step was to press ENTER.

How can I reset my Sanyo GXDB remote?
It worked at first, then the channel up down buttons were not responding. Now the entire remote isn't responding or lighting up. It's as if the whole thing is blocked.
Yes I tried new batteries etc. I just bought the tv with remoteon Saturday. Please help as the guys at sanyo are useless!!!

Hi! I will be more than glad to assist you in this concern. this are the tv codes for sanyo. 542, 589, 590, 591, 592,
609. this is how to reprogram you remote to the sanyo tv. you need to press and hold the tv button that is on the upper portion of the remote, on the right side of the sat button. wait until all mode lights lit up, once all lights lit up, release it and then press number ex.. 542 then followed by the pound button, then you will see that the pound button will flash 3 times, it means that the code is program to the remote. note: while your doing the reprogramming of the remote you need to be in front of the tv about 2 to 3 feet away and the tv should be on.. granting u try all the code and none of them works.. try to scan the code of the tv by pressing and hold the tv button wait until all mode light lit up, then press 500 then pound, tv button will flash 3 times, lets say the last code is 500 and it did not work, press again the tv button and wait until all mode lights up, press on the re tv button if you have, but just incase u have only 1 red button for the power, press it once, then press the up button every 1 sec for 5mins. once the tv turn off then press the pound button and the tv button will flash 3 times, it means that you got the code for the sanyo tv, to check the code: Press the POUND (#) button twice. The mode button
flashes the number for each digit of the device code, with a pause between the groups of flashes. A quick flash is for zero. For example, if the code is 570, the mode button flashes five times, pauses, flashes seven times, pauses, and flashes once quickly... lets say that this remote works before with the sanyo and suddenly it quit working , pls call 1-800-333-3474 and ask for the replacement for the dishnetwork remote, remote is bad. please feel free to get in touch if you have any query..

Hello kls1996... programming your remote is rather easy. The easiest way (thanks to The Sharper Image Jumbo Remote being a LEARNING SMART remote) is to do the following:

1 - Point the head of your Sharper Image remote at the head of your Sanyo TV remote (nose to nose so the clear bulbs on each remote are facing each other).

2 - Press the "TV" button on your Sharper Image remote (located in the upper left-hand corner).

3 - Hold the "LEARN" button on your Sharper Image remote (located in the left edge under the volume buttons) until the red light flashes.

4 - Press the key on your Sharper Image remote (e.g. Volume Up or +VOL)... the red light will go solid (indicating that it is waiting for a signal from the other (in your case Sanyo) remote.

5 - Press the key on your other remote (in your case the Sanyo remote) that you want programmed in your new Sharper Image remote... the red light will flash rapidly again.

6 - Repeat step #4 until you have programmed each key.

7 - When done... press the "LEARN" key on your Sharper Image remote. Your Sharper Image remote should be programmed to operate your device (in this case, your Sanyo TV).

NOTE: You can program other devices such as your VCR, DVD, VHS, SAT, CABLE, etc. and not just one device.
