The word Protected shows up on the reciever! I tried to clean out the bad grease on the Volume control. The remote got so sluggfsh it would hardly move.

replace old batteries and clean and tight the spring contacts batteries from dirty, oxide, corrosion.
2) open the r.control and clean the keypads from dirty, corrosion, oxide, with contacts cleaner and try again.

God bless you

this can be from dirty keyboard in remote, can clean with isopropyl alcohol. just wipe down keyboard and keypad, let dry and test. Or could be a bad infrared reciever board in tv. Meder's tv service.....good success and God bless

The contact under the rubber touch pad might have coagulated. Remote control need cleaning. If you wish to get more details about how to check, repair and clean a remote control, check this site. Pull up older posts there. One among them has detailed descriptions.

you can start with opening the remote control and clean the buttons on your remote control. don't use any aceton based products. there can be some grease on the buttons.
if you used the on/off and volume more then the other buttons.

retight the spring contacts batteries for better contact, the r.control emit infrared signal to the reciever.
2= open the r. control for clean the keypad switch for dirty, oxide, etc, bad contact or open switch
3= test again, if doesnot work, go to the repair shop tv for fix it.
God bless you

Clean the volume decoder, or replace it

The volume keys should be working by default, but you may have volume punch through turned on (meaning the remote is sending signals for TV or CABLE volume function no matter what mode you are actually on). To unlock volume control for AUX mode, do the following:
1. Press and release AUX
2. Press and hold SETUP until the remote blinks twice
3. Type 993
4. Press and release VOL-
The remote should blink four times to confirm unlock.

Try mapping the button to button on your LCD screen. The following link shows how to go this:
(Make sure you select an Aditional button)

If you find it does work - it would be a hardware issue and you would need to contact Logitech

If it does not work properly - you will need to learn the command which is shown by the following link:

Have a great day!!!

You can repair some of these remotes. Usually the hard part is getting the cover off. they are not really made to be serviced. The problem with most all remotes that start doing what you describe is either wear or something spilled on it. You can fix it. Sony remotes may have 1 screw in the battery compartment. remove it and try sliding the front and back. If that dosen't work try prying from one side with a sharp edege. If you do manage to get it open take the PC board out. You will see a rubber like membrane that lays against the board. Try cleaning that with a qtip and rubbing alcahol. Then clean the PC board the same way especially where the pads of rubber contact the board. Make sure it's completely dry and snap it back together. If it works better good, if not the pads are to worn and you just have to replace. Good Luck.

If the volume buttons work when using the Radio, then the buttons on the Remote are fine.
Now if the volume on your TV is set to MAX and you can barely hear it.
The issue lies with your TV.. ()
Now if I understand correctly or if I am to assume you are using a Reviever.
If the reciever is used for all volumes... If this is the case.
I also assume the volume on the TV Speakers is set to off
Therefore when you use the Radio/DVD the volume control is using the Reciever volume.
and when you switch to TV it uses the TV volume thus the TV volume is not gonna work as well.
2 scenarios
1 The TV volume even at max is not giving you enough power to get the low receiver volume
2 the Receiver volume is at max and barely audible.. if this is the case just manualy adjust your TV volume to get it to a decent sound level.

Hard to explain but I know the 2 issues can be fixed.
