I have a sanyo television but no remote.

Universal remote alway work only the basic for the tv.Beyond that will have problems or stuck in some input or modes.Sorry i can't help u, because i don't know what is the reaction to ur tv by the universal remote,must use the universal remote again tries all the buttons like video modes or input botton.Or take the battery out like 20 mins of the universal remote to erase ur tv codes enter it again.Tries those buttons u pushes before,see if u can get out the video mode.All else fail.Try website like Remotes.com to buy the tv original remote to use.

There should be a button on the TV "INPUT" press to change sources. It should be on the front lower center of TV, slide panel to expose if required. Put new batteries in remote.

unplug tv for 10 minutes and try again

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.

Look for a button named AV or Input or something of the like. Press the button to toggle between different video modes such as AV, TV, S-Video etc.,

I had this problem, I replaced the remote and it works now

Good day.

Have you tried changing the settings through the buttons on your unit? they may be able to assist you in this problem.

I am relentless when it comes to problems like this. I had the same problem with my TV being stuck in video mode. I found out that there is a reset button......It's on the @*&#^&^ original remote!!!!! So I tried programming my Time Warner Scientific Atlanta AT8550 remote for the TV to see if the "video source" button would work. IT WORKED!!!! You have to use code 1062. Instructions are:

1. Turn the TV on.
2. Press and hold select and the TV keys until the lights blink twice.
3. Enter 1062. All mode keys blink twice to indicate that the code was accepted.
4. Point the remote at the TV and press power to test the TV.
5. You can then successfully use the "Video Source" button on the bottom left of the remote to change the video mode. VOILA!!!

If you don't have a Scientific Atlanta AT8550 remote, I'm sure you know someone that does. They're everywhere!

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!!!!
