Auxillary mode! How on Earth do I set this tv to a/v mode? I have a universal remote and I've tried changing the channel down past 02 and I've tried using the tv/video button on the remote and nothing is working. Please help, I just want to watch a movie.

Usually the tv will switch automatically to the correct reception mode as soon as it detects an input into the scart socket.

I have and have had a number of tv sets and they all do this, though I do remember many years ago needing to select the AV channel. I believe these days the AV channel is for the other audio/video input sockets.

I suggest you connect your dvd player to the tv, switch on the tv and then press "play" on the dvd.
You should be able to enjoy viewing without further effort.

If you change channel on the tv to check what is on, the dvd reception will be lost. To save the trouble of disconnecting the scart lead and reconnecting I use a manual scart distribution box so simply pressing the button provides the required interruption so dvd viewing can be resumed.

U can't do much on a universal tv remote.Only the basic mostly,like power on/off,channels up/down and volume up/down that about it.If u wanted more functions and controls and adjustments inside of the tv Menu for options like changing and adding functions.U must have the tv original remote to be able to do it.Try website like Remotes.com to buy the tv orignal remote.

Universal remote alway work only the basic for the tv.Beyond that will have problems or stuck in some input or modes.Sorry i can't help u, because i don't know what is the reaction to ur tv by the universal remote,must use the universal remote again tries all the buttons like video modes or input botton.Or take the battery out like 20 mins of the universal remote to erase ur tv codes enter it again.Tries those buttons u pushes before,see if u can get out the video mode.All else fail.Try website like Remotes.com to buy the tv original remote to use.

Ur girl friend clean around did she unplug the tv.Replug it back later?Bet u she did,that why the tv universal codes is gone.Reprogram ur tv unverisal codes again should solved this problems.Tries push the manual control button channel up like one or two times tv will be in input video again like video 1 or 2.

Try connecting this TV to a VCR or DVD player. Then press channel two and continue to press channel down. See if this will work. Also...if you have an older model Emerson TV remote, it will operate the Orion TV. Let me know if this will work!

You may be able to press the channel down button, past channel 1 to the av inputs.
It works on some tvs, but not all.

you might need to use the aux mode on the remote to separately control the dvd part of the set. follow the instructions in your remote programming guide to set the remote for dvd in the auxillary mode and try it that way.

Yippie, I figured out a solution that worked!!! I have a univeral remote from comcast, on that remote near the bottom left is a small button that says (input) tv/vcr, press that one time and whala!! the tv video screen was gone, I had to manually change the channel from the tv channel button on the unit. once I changed the channel to 3, my universal remote worked... the button is the second one from the bottom left... I was on hold with sanyo for a long time and just kept trying on my own, so good luck!!!!

using the menu button on the t.v. set an alarm for 1 min in the future. have the t.v change to channel 00 or the input channel @ that time. turn off the t.v and wait until the alarm turns the t.v on.

well, sometimes the universal remote does not give you the whole functions, so it is better to work with the original one. you could fix it thought. here is how. most of the time, it just need cleaning. so get some denatured alcohol and clean the pc. do not apply any alcohol to the rubber button, that will ruin them. put it back together and give it a try again..good luck
