• Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so the remote controls the TV.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. If batteries are weak, you will not be able to activate backlighting
on the remote; instead, backlight will blink once when activated. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if you remove the batteries,
you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)
• When using the Learning feature, do the learning process in low light areas to prevent natural light and fluorescent light interfering
with the infrared signals.
