TV screen on video 2 and remote died

My TV remote has a 'TV/Video' button that when pressed, toggles the TV's screen back n' forth between watching TV or viewing your DVD/VHS. Pressing the button once displays a video-1 screen, twice, a video-2 screen, and third, back to watching TV programs (having two video option screens allows for another DVD or VHS player to be assessed, as long as the TV has another rear connection for a second unit). As long as the DVD player is plugged into the back of the TV, the TV's remote (not the DVD's remote) should accomplish the function.

hit input button u dont have orgibnal remote for tv so go to the tv hit ch down button to u see it chage the inputs to video 2 3 whatever your cable is on dvd ect ok

Most analog tv,u just reqiure pushing the tv manual button channel up a few times,tv will go into video modes like 1 or 2 for play video devices.If this doen't work,try website like Remotes.com to buy an original remote.

in the control panels in the tv where r the buttons for change channel there must be video button, push it and there you go.

Good Luck

ive spents weeks trying to get help about our tv and wow at last we have some...

christine.....

I had the same problem and had to buy a new remote. Just Google Sanyo remote--it's the more expensive one with more buttons. Good luck.

my universal unit won't change the tv channels, everything else works except the channel changing. Does anyone have a solution., The company is only open during the week.

If you have the original remote, hit video, source, or input button, if it dont have them, then try to change the tv to channel 00 (zero or zerozero), if not then the channels might have to scroll to it, from channel 02 down to make it loop, if it goes to the next highest channel, then you need a remote. It may be set in the menu options to have the video source not saved to your list of saved channels. when you scan the channels, the tv might not look for the A/V source (audio / video), maybe just the RF source. The 3 DVD RCA wires are 1 video and 2 stereo, one stereo for left and one stereo for right. The TV has only 2 , 1 for video and 1 for mono 1 channel sound. This wouldnt have anything to do with why you cant use the DVD player. but try that with the original remote (or a universal remote that is set to your tv set that has either video, input, source or something similar. It is what tells the tv to change from the cable source (RF) and the AV source (the Red White and Yellow plugs, in your TV's case, 2 plugs, one yellow and the other either red or white or something). Dont really know how to explain it much more but hope it helps.

my orion if you channel down below channel 2 it goes to aux.

Why, it is very easy. Just go to Menu manually (as u already did) and select 'Input'. Th eOptions Video1, Video2 and Tuner will scroll up one by one. Just select Tuner
