Sony KDL-40V3000 Remote Issue: Anyone else having problems with their remote?

The remote is really not a positive at all. It just doesn't go with a $1500 lcd. It seems they haven't updated it in a decade. I have'nt had quite the performance problems you are describing but I still dislike it. The remote from my samsung 1080i unit from 2002 is nicer. Overall not particularly impressed with this product, even with hd programming. I am surprised, but I don't see a huge difference between my 1080i unit and this 1080p.

If you take the batteries out of the remote does it still happen? Does your neighbor have a Sony system lol? Good luck...

Welllll, we have this problem too. I called the company and got a new remote and it still didn't work all the time. We put a titanium battery in and it's now working all the time but I really don't know if that's why.

I had same problem. I called Amazon and they sent me another complete set including the remote. I sent back old unit and remote. I have had no problems since.

I had the same issue with the lamp. I tried 3 different ones including the one Sony sells. All were bad. Had to change the TV.

Epsilon, Have you been able to resolve this problem with your SONY flat screen tv. Please let me know.

sounds like you have had some bad luck. I've had mine for 3 yrs, have moved twice during that time and have never had any issues with the remote or the tv for that matter. Sorry. :-(

I know for me the DirectTv remote is RF and I think this is IR or Blutooth. Perhaps that is the issue?

Sorry to hear that. All my remotes did work. I would go to your account and under your orders select the option to return or exchange. I am sure they would be happy to replace them if they are not working.

it sounds like the remote was disconnecting I would try a different channel. I have never had any problems with mine

I found the buttons on the remote somewhat difficult to press and get a response. Also, you must get close and be absolutely direct, straight on, in pointing it. If it still doesn't work, contact the company. They have very good support and if they can't help you, will most certainly replace it.

Not sure what the problem is for you. I have this same television and U-Verse service and haven't had any troubles with my remotes. Perhaps you can get a replacement remote from AT&T or at least have them try a different one.

I haven't had such a problem, but I have experienced sluggish or incorrect response to the button control which was solved with the remote use. If your buttons work & you have after purchase warrantee, I would suggest using the warrantee to repair. If buttons work but not the remote then question the remote performance. Sorry I'm not more help. I have, however, purchased 4 units for myself and others and had issues twice that had to be resolved thru warantee use. Good Luck!

I emailed orders@aetetek.net when i needed to order a new remote. They were helpful. You can ask them if there is a way to reset.

No, Paul, you are not the only to have to do this. In addition, because my remote is intermittant, sometimes I have to get up and press PLAY on the player. I tried another Sony DVD remote, it worked but had the same problems so I believe it's the player that's at fault. It's still a great player for the $30 I paid for it. Great picture quality, features, and plays scratched DVDs!!!! All the best.

Dang, I wish someone would reply to this. I've had this DVD player hooked up to a Sony 40 inch for a few days and I'm having the same problem.
