Direct TV should have instructions for programming your remote to operate your TV. You may have to try several codes for your TV brand. Then you may have to play with the remote buttons to find the one that affects the Input function. OR buy a new universal remote that has an input button and follow the enclosed instructions for programming. Shouldn't be too expensive. Good luck.

There should be an input button on the side of your tv. It will be by the power, channel and volume buttons.

I recommend getting a universal remote to replace your tv remote.

SOURCE: TV will not work with good remote.

Sounds like the IR pickup has gone bad or the supply voltages feeding it are opened. Sometimes cleaning the screen with windex it tends to drip inside as it follows the picture tube down into the set . Most of the time replacing the IR cures your problem. Good luck

SOURCE: can't watch dvd

You need the original remote controller to be able to switch input modes.Universal ones don't work. If you don't have the original remote and can't find it ever 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. It placed the connection to channel 4 and other channels are still working,

You can buy the RF Modulator from: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180299245670

SOURCE: i cant select games mode manually on the symphonic

I think, after you have the rca jacks inserted into the tv and to the game you're playing, youshould be able to move the channel button down past channels 3 and 2. And or hit menu on the tv and look for setup. Try that!

How do i manually program my channels on older tv without a remote

Nothing you can do without the original remote. One cannot get into the setup pages. Replacement remotes usually don't work on this point either. They are missing this special setup button. In order to watch DVD, VCR, connect them with a SCART cable. When you switch on the player, the TV will detect this and go automaticaly to this input. If connected with RCA plugs, you can choose the input with the program Up/Dwn buttons on the TV set itself, going "lower" than channel 1.

I have problems with my LCD HAIER TV. I put my USB and now i cant return to TV Mode. What i should do?

There should be a button on your remote that says "TV/USB". Try clicking it, that should take you to a blue screen that says No Signal, click Input, and you should be able to access your cable from the list of Input sources. This happened to me today, very annoying and unnecessarily confusing, especially since most buttons you press result in a screen that reads "Not Available." Urrgghhh.

Hitachi P42H401

Maryann,
You should have an RCA cable connector with your DVD player (three wire connector color coded yellow, red, white). If you plug one end of that into your DVD player (out) and into the input #1 in the back of your TV that should be sufficient. Then just select from the input menu on your Tv to watch that input. You do this by the buttons on the lower left of the TV. One is marked "input/exit". Pressing that button should bring-up your input menu then use "menu/select" button to select input 1 and try playing the DVD...
I do have the owner and service manual if you need it just let me know...

No picture on Television

You have provided incomplete information. What do you mean by 'dvd player works'? Do you mean you are able to view the DVD movies on the TV? Or does it mean that there is power and various lights and indicators on the DVD player?If you are unable to see picture - both while viewing DVDs and also Broadcast channels, then there is a major problem with the TV.Get a professional to have a look, then. But if you are able to view DVD movies, but unable to view broadcast channels, then it is a simple problem of input selection. In this case just select the TV/Video or TV/AV button on your remote, if there is such a button. If no, then use the menu and scroll for input, and then select Tuner. First clearly state what your problem is. Only then we can give you better advice.
