Every time I press a button the tv turns off. What would be the cause?

There are a couple of possibilities. Many modern gadgets have a power-saving setting. This turns off the unit after a period with no human interaction. (Remote button presses for set-top boxes or TVs, for example.) You'll need to change this in the settings. (I didn't see the SWTV-20AE manual online to find the menu tree.)

The other possibility is over-heating. Make sure there is nothing blocking the airflow around the unit. Remove any dust and dirt from any ventilation holes.

I hope this helps.

If you want, you can do it auto program. Press the tv and enter button at same time one the lights stop flashing press the fast forward button untill the tv turns on or off whichever the opposite currently is. Once the tv turns on or off press thr enter button. If thr tv is now on try to work the volume. If the tv is off, try tufnung the tv in with the remotd. If the tv does neither yiu passed the code and need to repeat the process. I count the times I press the ff button so if I pass the code I can go fasger until I get to around where the tv turned on or off last time. his process works for most ddvices, some tvs may require pressing the ff button several hundred times to find the correct code.

keypad of the remote control. Entry of the correct code will cause your TV to turn off. If multiple codes

To have the remote try each TV code it knows one at a time, follow these steps:

1. Turn on your TV.
2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button for at least 3 seconds until the red LED lights up and stays lit.
3. Press the TV button on the remote so that the LED blinks once and then remains solid red.
4. Press the ON/OFF button slowly and repeatedly until the TV turns off. The LED will blink once each time you press the ON/OFF button.
   
5. Once the TV turns off, press the ENTER button to store the code and the LED will turn off.
   

I hope that helps.

If this is a RCA Picture Tube Rear Projection, the Deflection Board will cause this problem. I do not know though if it is available.

1. These instructions come from the RCA website. The crucial step is to keep pressing the reverse button.
2. Turn on the component (the tv, dvd, etc).
3. Hold the TV (or DVD) button and the on/off button at the same time. It will stay lit.
4. Press the play button every five seconds until the component turns off.
   • Each time the Play button is pressed, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks ten times and a block of 10 codes is sent to your component. This process continues until all the codes in the Code Lists have been searched. If the component has not turned off after all codes have been searched, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks four times, turns off, and the Auto Code Search Entry method is exited.
5. When the component turns off, press and release the REVERSE button, then wait two seconds to see if the component turns on again.
6. If the component does not respond, continue to press the REVERSE button EVERY TWO SECONDS UNTIL THE COMPONENT TURNS ON again. This will isolate the correct code in the last block of codes sent. Each time the REVERSE button is pressed, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks.
   • If the REVERSE button is accidentally pressed after the component responds, press and release the FORWARD button. Wait two seconds to see if the component turns off again.
7. To save the new code, press and release the STOP button.
8. The illuminated ON-OFF button turns off. You must press the STOP button to save the code.

Tips

• Turn on TV
• Hold in the TV button and the ON/OFF button until the ON/OFF button stays lit
• Press the PLAY button every 5 seconds until the device turns off
• Press the REVERSE button every 2 seconds until the device turns on
• Press the STOP button to lock in the code...the remote should work now.
• Important to press reverse button every 2 seconds, not just once.

Good Luck!!
