LG 32" TV remote function fails to work intermittently. Works by using buttons on side. LG's remote for sound and DirecTV's remote for turning on station tuning. Batteries new in both remotes.

Let's start simple first. Your TV is not responding to either remote control, but specifically if your factory original LG remote does not operate the LG TV, then the problem could be with the IR receiver in the TV itself.

Ensure nothing is blocking the IR receiver on the TV. Move anything out of the way.

Test both remotes to ensure that they are sending an infrared IR signal to the TV. Use a digital camera (such as the one on your phone) and point the remote into the camera lense and press the power/volume/channel buttons. You should see a faint flashing light in your camera viewfinder. This indicates that the remote is sending IR signal. If you don't see anything, then there is no signal. Try FRESH batteries.

If your remotes are working, and since this is an LG, look at the back of the TV by the video inputs. Look for a port called "REMOTE CONTROL IN" or similar. It looks like a 3.5mm headphone jack. This port is used for external remote control and may be dirty.

UNPLUG the TV, then use a regular 3.5mm male headphone jack to plug in and out several times. You basically want to push all the way in and all the way out several times to dislodge any dust and remove any oxidation that has built up in the port. 10-15 times should do fine.

Then plug in the TV and try your remote.

Best of luck.

if the buttons on the tv itself are not working aswell as the remote the promlem is not with the remote. IS the TV old or second hand? its possible that the tv has failed and its just a coincidence, one tip would be to try a programmable remote controll like a one4all to see if that works, if see if the tv is still within warranty

try vizio under tv tv brand in the direct tv remote control codes.

Use your Directv remote. Use code 10812, remember to program it to change tv inputs also. then program the same remote to control volume on your Sony receiver. Go to the menu on the directv box and follow the onscreen instructions.

This is the link for the rc23 set up codes

Update your Harmony remote control software on your PC to the latest. Go into the TV device settings. The software should recognize if there is an update to your TV's IR commands. Try the same things with the DVR.

It's also possible the TV and/or DVR are locking up due to IR commands that are being sent too quickly. The remote has a setting for the delay between commands sent to the same device as well as the delay between commands sent to different devices. Try adjusting these settings:

1. In the Harmony remote software on your PC, click the "Devices" tab.
2. For the "TV" device, click the "Settings" button.
3. Click the dot next to "Adjust the delays" and click Next.
4. Adjust the "Inter-key" and "Inter-device" delays to something higher and click Next.
5. Follow the steps to save the changes.
   
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for your DVR device as well.

Protron 32", new Directv R66 receiver/remote. Code is 10030. Works

You need remote rc64 to control the Olevia 32 inch LCD. You can call Directv and order the remote. Use code 11610.

In used 10463 for my Direct tv remote...it is an Emerson code. It worked on my 27inch Ilo, from Walmart. Good luck.
