Hi there Stacey, my name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. We do not promise that our remote will control all the functions of you TV. The codes used to program your DISH remote to the TV may be limited to some functions. You can try addressing your remote to the TV using different codes. I have listed the steps below to assist with programming the remote to your TV. If you have any other questions, let me know at [email protected]!

You can lookup the different codes here: http://www.mydish.com/support/apps/remotecodes.aspx?WT.svl=leftnav

1.) Press and hold the clear TV button until all mode lights light up.
2.) Release and TV light will be blinking.
3.) Enter code and press #. The TV button should flash 3 times.
4.) Try functions (Volume, Power, etc..) and see if it is working.
5.) If no function, repeat steps 1-4 with another code.

two choices, get the keyboard on the set repaired or get an original sharp remote which among remotes is not too expensive.

Some of these remotes are also made to run other components,so be sure to press the "tv" button and try the vol and channel again!

Open the thing up and clean off all the dirt on the volume buttons with a dry rag and clean the remote sensor.  Put in fresh batteries and now give it a try.

1.- Turn off your TV
2.- On the remote control, set the VCR/TV slide switch to TV position.
3.- While holding in SP/EP button, press the code button listed below that corresponds to the brand of your TV
4.- Press TV POWER on the remote control. Once your TV has turned on, your remote is set up to operate your brand
TV.

I finnaly found my VCR Manual, and I'm glad to share this info with you, because I was looking for the manual all
over the web and FOUND NOTHING!. Bye!

Somewhere in it's lifetime, a user has set the 'user preference' to 'mute' while this channel was active. I don't know your specific set, but most TV's need a remote to work 'mute'.
Second hand set?
[A] check all buttons on TV for a crossed-out speaker symbol, or
[B] buy a universal remote and select pin for your set. Then,
Try these:
ZENITH - 000,001,004,023,038,058,059,064,073,121,135,136,153

Try this website 1-800-Remotes factory original, buy an exact remote.

how to use the remote control.

1. go down to settings
2. remote control
3. find your tv brand (mines in ect(more brands))
4. point at tv (when on)
5. Scroll down list of numbers (#00; #01; ect)
6.go down to the bottom and if your tv dosn't turn off your tv isnt supported.
7. If it is supported click on the number your tv was
8. go back to the main menu

controls are:
up - channel up
down - channel down
left - volume down
right - volume up
power - off/on
smart key - mute
vol up - volume up
vol dwn - volume down

You have to push and hold down TV and Mute button (for 2 seconds at the same time), then release them at the same time, then push channel up until the TV turns off.  Be patient and continue channel up until the TV turns off.  When it turns off, then push TV again to lock the code.

You were doing fine, but missed to push channel up to fine the code.
