Troubleshooting Remote Control Problem Remote control does not operate Cannot change channels with the remote control Remote control does not operate non-Sony video equipment Possible Remedies ❏ The batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries. ❏ Check the orientation of the batteries. ❏ Press the TV FUNCTION button. You may have inadvertently pressed the SAT/CABLE FUNCTION button, which changes the remote control to SAT or CABLE mode. ❏ Make sure the TV's power cord is connected securely to the wall outlet. ❏ Locate the TV at least 3-4 feet away from fluorescent lights. ❏ If you are using the TV to change channels, first press the TV FUNCTION button. ❏ If you are using another device to change channels, be sure you have not inadvertently switched your TV from the channel 3 or 4 setting. Use the Channel Fix option to "fix" the channel based on the hookup you used (see page 84). ❏ If you are using another device to change channels, be sure to press the FUNCTION button for that device. For example, if you are using your cable box to change channels, be sure to press the SAT/CABLE FUNCTION button. ❏ If you replaced the batteries to the remote recently, the code numbers for the video equipment may need to be reset. ❏ There may be more than one code for the equipment that you are attempting to operate. ❏ There is a possibility that some non-Sony equipment cannot be operated by your Sony TV remote.You may need to use the equipment's original remote control.
