Question

How do I fix my remote that won't change channels?

Community Answer

See whether the battery needs to be replaced. Some of the buttons don't work because you need to replace the battery. If it's still not working after that, it would probably be best to just buy a new remote.

Question

What do I do if my remote doesn't have a code search button and only works to turn off the TV?

Community Answer

You can try doing a manual code search or locating the proper device code at http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/remote-code-finder/. There's also a chance that other functions of the remote will not work with that particular device.

Turn on the device you want to control, then select it using the corresponding device button on the remote. Press Menu on your remote, then use the volume up and down buttons (or the arrow buttons, if your remote has them) to move through the menu options.

Question

What if my remote does not have a light?

Community Answer

Try replacing batteries in your remote. If the light still doesn't come on, the light (or entire unit) may be defective. You'll have to either get a replacement or do the best you can with guesswork.

Question

How do you get the play and rewind buttons to work on a Toshiba DVD/VHS combo player?

Community Answer

If you're able to turn the device on and off but not use the play or rewind features, you may have used the wrong code. Use the Remote Control Finder (http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/remote-code-finder/) to locate the correct code (there are probably multiple listed for your player) and try every code until you find the one that works.
