found a remote that works at radio shack. RCA 4 device remote model #RCR4383N. I first tried to manually enter the emerson codes but they didn't work. Used the automatic code search and it was working within minutes. The input-tv/vcr button on the bottom right of remote switches between AV and coax like it should...$10.00

Check and replace its memory IC. It is faulty.

Either in the owner manual (if lost Google the model number with "manual" to try to locate one) are the instructions for this.A harder way is call Emerson and have them step you thru the process.

Universals are usually in my view a waste of money--even if they will program they will be missing many key features needed.If old remote lost look for an original--if old remote does not work there are steps to take to repair it.Let me know and I will advise you what to do.

with the set turned off --unplug it for a few minutes and plug back in which may allow it to reset itself

It depends on what connections the set has and what type of game unit you are trying to use.

As I think I answered this already: Contact company who made it by finding and calling their customer service department.Google the Emerson name for owner manual?

If you paid money here for an answer the site offers a money back satisfaction guarantee but at the moment is not charging for answers.Your best bet is to contact customer service for the set you have and spend the time on the phone to get the issue resolved.If I can help in any way let me know or contact [email protected]

Unfortunately it looks like there is not a way.. go to radio shack and get the RCA 4 device remote model #RCR4383N $10.00. use the directions to program it automatically. just did my son's tonight, works like a charm. use the input button at the bottom to switch to and from AV input.

I can't really see it but is there a menu button on the front?maybe go threw the settings add channel and add video to the channels.

Then the only way to reach your tv is through coaxial antenna port. So you can buy an rf modulator ( very cheap) and connect your red yellow and white cables (rca cables from a dvd, game console etc) to the modulator then connect the modulator to your antenna with a coax cable. This worked for me.

My son has a TMNT tv and the remote is broken or just the button to turn it to the games. I bought a universal remote and it does work some so that he can play his games but it doesn't let him enter two digit channels to change them so he has to scroll through them to get where he wants. It is an RCA - RCR312W remote and is universal but I had to go through the steps for the auto code search which was a little confusing and took a little while. The remote only cost about 8.00. All of the features don't work and I am sure that with a little playing around I could figure out the brand from the code but I haven't yet. Hope that this helps and if anyone else has a better solution please let me know.
Thanks!

There's a good chance you have failing electrolytic capacitors either in the power section or the inverter section or both.
Any caps in these sections that look bulged at the top, or bulged/leaking at the bottom (look for discoloration of the circuit board around the base of the capacitor) need to be replaced.
If you repeatedly turn it off and on, eventually it'll probably stay on, but every time you turn it off, the unit will get harder and harder to start up until one day it just won't.
Sometimes you have to do the opposite to start it up and unplug it for some time and then try again.

If you aren't tech savvy, don't worry, read the rest of this solution and watch the videos.

If you are handy with a soldering iron and can identify the power supply and/or inverter / FM section for the backlights, an inexpensive handful of capacitors will likely fix you right up.
Match the capacitance on the capacitors. Go over voltage if you can, and still have them fit.
IE - it's not a bad idea to replace a 10V cap with a 16V or 25V or even a 50V, but don't replace a 680uF cap with a 500uF or a 1000uF (unless you are SURE it's only doing supply output ripple filtering,
and even then, you should go OVER, not under the uF rating).

Most of the caps that go are 10V 1000uF or 3300uF.

I found some great videos of the procedure (for many Samsungs with the same issue) on youtube.

As you can see, this issue spans plasma TVs, as well as large and small LCD TVs and monitors, amplifiers, computer power supplies and motherboards, and other electronic equipment.
The parts are cheap, and skill required is minimal.
A great parts source is Digi-Key, and you can order the parts online at www.digikey.com
They typically cost under a dollar a piece plus a flat shipping rate.
The parts usually arrive one business day later.
If you watch the third video, you will see that even someone with no soldering experience can perform these repairs as demonstrated by the woman in the video.

Actually I found there are several remotes that work. The first is the Bright House networks remote, the larger one...The second is The Universal Remove Control by GE. It's numbered 24944 in the upper right hand corner of the paper. It's sold for $4.94 at Walmart in the checkout area...

I found that manually inputting the code for the remote doesn't work. You have to do a search for the code using their method...on this particular remote from Walmart, its hold the setup button down until it lights up, then press and depress the TV button...then press channel up until the TV changes channels. It worked once, but I just kept going, the 2nd time it worked, then I pressed the mute button [to keep the code] and it works...you simply press input and it switches to AV.

I have to admit I thought it was ridiculous that you can't use this particular TV without the remote, but I was happy that I went through the effort the first time to keep trying remotes...

This is the first kids TV that I have found that you can't find the AV channel by going through the channels AND you can't hook up two items to the AV outlets because you have to disconnect the back or front ones, to use the other....PLUS it only comes with a dual AV outlet, instead of the 3 plugs [red, white, yellow] only has the white and yellow.

A disappointing TV to say the least.
