My remote control works fine except Input

Try to push the TV button that is lit red at top middle of remote for 5 seconds in stead of hitting input. In other words by holding the tv button down it might trigger it to respond better. Thanks Mike

It sounds that the front panel controls are locked with your tV. You have to unlock it first, if you want to change its input selections. If you cannot select the inputs by using the remote control [I thing you are using a universal remote control], setup the remote control with an other setup code. All codes to remote control won't work with some functions. You have to search and select, which code give maximum functionality with your TV.

NO. As there is no Menu button on the front panel of this tV, you must have a remote control to do input selections.

most have input or device buttons directly on the remote

I came across your post, autumlite; that's interesting! I have a few steps for you to follow to get that taken care of so you can start enjoying the convenience:

Address To Other Equipment Using Power Scan

• Remote: All Remotes (except Basic)
  1. With the desired equipment on, press and hold the correct Mode button until all mode button backlights illuminate, then release.
  2. Press and release the Power button. AUX Mode: Before pressing and releasing the Power button
     • Press 0 for a TV
     • Press 1 for a VCR/DVD
     • Press 2 for any other device
     Then Press STAR (*)
  3. Press the Up button once a second while pointing the remote at the desired equipment. Note: If the code for the equipment comes up, the equipment will power off.
  4. Press the POUND (#) button. Note: If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times.

Hope that helps and let me know if you need any further assistance!

I came across this looking for a similar solution for my Samsung TV, and I found the solution on ehow.com. Apparently after you program the remote for your TV you have to hold mute and select again until it flashes twice then put in 960 to make the remote control TV input too. Note you're remote should be in TV mode while you do this. It seems silly that the DirectTV guy wouldn't do this when programming the remote.

Another expert site answered my question. Since there was no INPUT button on the TV, I need to buy an original remote.

What model TV is it?
it may be you need to change the input to video 1 or video 2 to get those front jacks to work. if there is a TV/Video button on the front you should be set. If not you may need the remote control. Sometimes changing the channel to below channel 1 will give you that option.

I have Polaroid TV Monitor HDMI LCD 15.4" no power light on TV, blank screen, the power adaptor is Ok 12VDC supply. I need suggestion; in any possible problem or parts busted?

turn on your tv, press and hold tv button, then the on/off button, it will light up then press the power button.and it turns off....hold. After holding down both for buttons for 3 secs the light on the on/off key turns back on. Release both keys and the light should stay on. Now hit the On/off button repeatedly until the tv turns off, when it does hit the stop button to save code.
