Indicator light is stuck on, wont work

Buy a new remote, receiver & transmitter.

um..you wont see the infra red with the naked eye..you can only see it using nite vision style equipment..something that shows in monochrome which is that frequency..if it lights up it is supposed to be working..some need reset to the units in use when the batteries are replaced..use the search mode on it..

Have you got the batteries in the right way round? There is a + and or - sign to indicate which end they should be. Failing that the batteries are defunct. If this is the case put the old ones back in until you get some replacements.

I cant seem to program my RCA universal remote to my emerson tv

if the light is staying on this means that a button is stuck down on your remote. It might be defective I would contact the company about warranty.
