My replacement rc-518m remote control is stuck in TV mode how do I get back to a/v
If your replacement RC-518M remote control is stuck in TV mode and you want to switch it back to control your A/V (audio/video) devices such as a DVD player, Blu-ray player, or audio receiver, you can follow these general steps. Please note that the exact procedure may vary slightly depending on the specific brand and model of your remote control, so refer to the user manual if available.
1. **Check Remote Control Buttons:**
Look for dedicated buttons on your remote control that are labeled for different device modes such as TV, DVD, AUX, etc. These buttons are typically located near the top of the remote.
2. **Press the Mode Button:**
Press the appropriate mode button (e.g., DVD, AUX) on your remote control to switch to the desired device mode. Each press of the mode button should cycle through the available device modes.
3. **Use the Device Button:**
Once you have selected the correct device mode (e.g., DVD), use the corresponding buttons on the remote control to control your A/V device. For example, use the play, pause, stop, rewind, and fast forward buttons for a DVD player.
4. **Test the Control:**
After switching to the desired device mode, test the remote control to ensure that it is functioning correctly with your A/V device. Verify that you can navigate menus, play media, and adjust settings as needed.
5. **Reset the Remote Control (if necessary):**
If the above steps do not work and the remote control remains stuck in TV mode, you may need to perform a reset. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to reset your specific remote control model. Resetting the remote control will usually restore it to its default settings.
6. **Replace Batteries (if necessary):**
Ensure that the batteries in your remote control are fresh and properly inserted. Weak or dead batteries can sometimes cause issues with remote control functionality.
If you do not have the user manual for your remote control, you can often find it online by searching for the remote control model number along with "user manual" or "instructions."
If you are still experiencing difficulties after trying these steps, consider contacting the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance or troubleshooting guidance specific to your remote control model.
