The Remote Control reception is AWFUL on VIZIO! How do you guys fix this so you don't have to be so close???

The remote is directional. You need to point it at the lower left corner of the set where th IR sensor is located. Also if your TV is connected to the internet (Ii is a smart TV and has a built in WiFi capability) be sure to run he software update. You will then be able to use the WI Fi with the remote to communicate with the TV. Also change the batteries if the remote becomes unresponsive. The remote is backlit which sucks a lot of juice from the batteries. I have changed mine twice in two months. If none of these things work, consider getting a Logitech universal remote.

I agree, the reception from the remote is pretty bad. I don't have a distance problem, but I do seem to need to have the right angle. I would look into a universal remote if it bothers you that much. Logitech has some nice models. Good luck.

I haven't noticed an issue since I don't use the remote it came with. I am using the logitech harmony one. There are a few times where it fails to turn the TV off/on but I think it is because I need to change the timing on the remote. I think it sends all the signals at the same time (TV, directv box, amp) and in rare occasions someone gets left out (usually the TV). I had the same issue with my LG tv before getting the Vizio and I changed the timing on when the remote will send the signal to resolve the issue. I just haven't gotten around to doing the same with the Vizio tv.

Hi Jimmy, I just discovered with my Vizio Soundbar that once the Sony remote was set to the TV, it was auto controlling the sound bar volume, just not the ability to turn it on/off

I've got the same issue. The remote will not adjust the volume. This remains a problem whether the speakers are hooked to the cable box audio out, or to the TV audio out.

If it's interference you might be just far enough from the TV to notice that this device works best at certain distance. Am towers interfere with it too. Vizio smart tv may just be too "smart" requiring a settings change. Try going reversing the cables where red and white plug into the TV and moving the recover away from the TV'a controller reciever (or I r blaster).

Try pushing different buttons on the remote. Mine is not in front of me but I seem to remember I had to do that. Also, make sure you have the positive and negative cables correct. You are using 12 volts, right?

You will need to disable "Control with HDMI". I and others have had similar issues with various equipment combinations, but a Pioneer A/V receiver seems to be the common thread and this seems to be a work around. I suspect it is an HDMI control compatibility issue with the Pioneer line; maybe a firmware update will correct it at some point.

I'm in the same boat. I called Vizio and they weren't able to help me. I found a really ugly 1980s looking remote that is said to work but it costs $40 and it is IR not bluetooth. The Vizio universal remotes don't work (I bought them and tried them). I am unable to turn off the bluetooth on my TV so it only responds to bluetooth. I am considering purchasing a logitech universal remote and doing a hard reset on my TV. There aren't many options. Vizio had a great idea of doing a bluetooth remote but because, I assume, of the higher cost they immediately switched back to IR, isolating this line of TVs. I'm in the same boat.

Dear Sandeep, So sorry to hear that you are having an issue with the remote control. One thing that I'd like you to double check--there are four buttons near the top of the remote, labeled (Stereo, Cable/Sat,TV and CD). If any button other than the Stereo button has been pushed, many of the functions on the remote will not operate. See if pushing the Stereo button alleviates the issues you are having. If that does not solve the issue, let me know and we can look into warranty options for you. Did you purchase the unit from us? Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

It is a beautiful screen. I have been in contact with Vizio. It seems the problem is not in the set. It is with the Sevice providers and they are working on a solution with internet providers and the streaming companies. Your local station sports viewing is beautifully displayed

Almost instant, I have a 42 inch Vizio and have the same problem with it. Also, the Vizio is very slow starting up; the Sharp start up is a little better. I am not bothered by the slow remote response because I have cable and feed is almost instant on both with cable box.

I had the exact same problem with mine. Go to Vizio.com and download the latest wifi driver then install it. It fixed the problem completely for me.

I'm not sure I know what you mean. Is it just not working with the TV that you have? Is it hooked up correctly (HDMI is the best way to use it)? What brand of TV are you trying to use?My TV that I use is a Vizio 32-inch 3D TV, and it works perfectly fine. So what is the exact problem that you're having?

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if you unplugged the unit while it was on? This happened with mine, and it is the only thing I can think of that happened to it. It still doesn't answer the question of whether replacing the remote will help, unfortunately.

Thank you very much for responding. You have confirmed that this seems to be an anomaly. I'll contact Vizio. Problem is this is a replacement unit for my first unit that had a bad USB port. Starting to lose faith.
