TV was given to us with no remote. We have a remote that was given with our cable box and I have input the code for symphonic. The remote from the cable box will allow us to adjust volume and channel. We have a panasonic DVD player hooked up via rca jacks to the front, however I cannot change the video input by the front of the TV and the remote only adjusts vol. and ch. Any advice?

Universal remote control are normally programmed for basic functions, ie. chennel up down, volume up down, numbers, etc. This is even written in the manual that they do not guarantee that all functionality can be used. Here are your options: 1. Try all the codes that match your TV, there is a slim chance that the other code have the functionality that you need. 2. Buy the original model remote control. 3. If you know of someone that have the same TV, buy a universal remote control with 'learning' function and copy the signal from the original remote control. I have the same problems before. Now I use my Casio wrist remote control to copy the special functions such as A/V so that even if the original remote control is lost, I can still use these functionality

the tv should be in video mode in order to accept input from dvd...when it does'nt work try to use a modulator that should be connected at the back through using cable with f-connector both sides...

Go to radio shack and get an universal remote control that has a tv/vcr input button. the one i got is a Phillips Universal to switch channels myself.

Depending on the model of the tv, you could scroll ch dn past ch 2 and you should cycle through your inputs. if that doesn't work try holding down the two vol buttons on the tv. that could access the menu for the tv
