Sanyo TV 27 inch stuck on Video mode. It reached this mode by me pressing the input button on my (GE) Universal remote, not knowing it would put it in Video mode and then accidentally pressing enter to save it in video mode. GE Universal remote will only program in TV mode by holding down (Setup) button and when the red led stays light up... I press TV mode and then press up channel over and over again until channel changes then press enter button to save. need help ... on board TV menu will not help..

press the helpful button Step 1 Insert two AA batteries into the universal remote control if you haven't already done so and then turn on your Sanyo TV. Press and hold the "TV" button on the remote until it lights up.
Step 2 Input the following three-digit codes into your remote control one by one using the remote keypad: "004," "013," "049," "108," "110," "180" and "209." The TV will turn off when you enter the correct code for your particular Sanyo model.
Step 3 Press the "TV" button on the remote once more to confirm the code after you've identified the correct one. You can now use the universal remote to control your Sanyo TV.

Hi there,

If you still have the Sanyo remote, you just need to press the INPUT button on the remote. The channel search and some other functions are disabled when the TV is in video/AV/game mode.

If you don't have the Sanyo remote, but you have a Universal remote which you use with the TV, look for a button labelled INPUT or SOURCE on this remote and try pressing it.

If you don't have any remote for this TV or you are using a universal remote which does not have an INPUT or SOURCE button, please reply to me from within this page for further assistance and let me know the brand and model number of any universal remote you are using. There is no option in the menu for doing this, but there a couple of methods which work on some TVs

Hope this helps.

You need to change the input source to TV. You can do this with the original remote by pressing Input. (Unless the unit is in VCR mode then press TV and then Input). There is no Input button on this TV as far as I know.

If you do not have the original remote, you need a remote that matches this function. An exact replacement remote is available here: http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=Search&o=c&uid=0&m=DS35510&uuid=12925568663700 . Some universal remotes will have this feature but usually not the cheapest ones. Make sure the universal remote was programmed at least 6 months after the TV was released. The exception: the universal remotes that can be programmed via a USB connection to your computer.

I hope this helps.

you should have an input button. if so press the button until you get to the input that your dvr/vcr player is on. if you do not have a input button got to the menu button and you should be able to change the input thru the menu.

Go push menu button on the front of tv or the right side.Pick the video out,or tv.Or buy a remote.Website 1-800-Remotes factory Original.For the original remote.

no you require the remote or a universal remote or sometimes a cable remote that has been programmed to work the volume on the tv set will have an input button .

press the TV button on the remote then press input to sellect video mode

I had this problem on a symphonic 27 inch TV I just bought from a friend who no longer had a remote. The thing with the menu and buttons on the front of the TV doesn't actually change the TV to true game mode. I don't know what it acutally does, but it isn't really in game mode. When it is in true "game mode" you can't change the channels until you turn game mode off. What I did was bought a universal remote (a specific one that someone told me about) for 8 bucks at walmart and I was then able to switch to game mode with the Input select on the remote. The remote I bought that actually worked is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Magnavox-PM435S-4-Device-Universal/dp/B00006686A/ref=acc_glance_ce_ai_-2_1_tit/002-3174824-8273629
Make sure you look at it before you buy it and make sure it has a button that specifically says "input" on it. I know that some of the universal remotes don't have an input select button or one that doesn't work. As long as you get a Philips-Magnavox that has that button, you should be ok. Much better solution that paying 30 bucks for a new remote specifically for the TV. Hope this helps.

Yippie, I figured out a solution that worked!!! I have a univeral remote from comcast, on that remote near the bottom left is a small button that says (input) tv/vcr, press that one time and whala!! the tv video screen was gone, I had to manually change the channel from the tv channel button on the unit. once I changed the channel to 3, my universal remote worked... the button is the second one from the bottom left... I was on hold with sanyo for a long time and just kept trying on my own, so good luck!!!!

Nope. Remote control is required... However some universal remotes come with this button available in the preprogrammed code. I had a cheap GE universal remote that I used to replace the original when my 2 year old smashed it. I now have a sony universal remote and it's default code (one of them) for Sanyo tv's also works for the video/input button.
