Is there something I must do to make TV recognize the remote, it is doing nothing. in addition the latch on battery compartment comes off.

No set-up should be required. Sounds like you either have the wrong remote, or a defective one.

I don't think so mine worked I just put the batteries in and it worked nicely sorry to hear your haveing trouble

The cover on my original one did too you still have to program the remote look up on their vizio website.from what i remember

It should. Look closely inside the battery compartment for markings indicating polarity arrangement. It is NOT intuitively obvious.

Thanks for input. .n awaiting a reply from the seller now. . . Maybe this device is the bad one in bunch and I'll receive a good replacement.

I didn't have to do anything other than put batteries in. It even works with my much older Vizio 42" television with no extra rigmarole. Might have gotten a bum remote.

Thats odd !!! if you are using your remote make sure you use fresh batteries don't mix half and full power batteries together. also make sure you tv is not on mute meaning it will turn the volume off. check your remote for the mute button if that the problem you should be ok, but be careful hitting that mute button by accident because it will show a speaker symbol with a slash going cross it on your screen meaning on volume and it will not turn off until you press that botton .

is it powering on ? .... do you have a dennon center near you best to show it there .... if its powering on then another thing could be that the selector button on the remote could have changed (from recveiver to video to tv) its a multifunction remote that goes crazy at times..

I suggest that someone should remove the remote back and check the battery that came with the unit. It has a # on it and maybe the voltage... Any store that sells the battery will be able to assist you further.

I bought a refurbished unit and the remote worked fine. I think I would return it if it's not functional.

The battery compartment at the back of my remote opens quite easily. There is a down arrow with the word "open" over it. Are you trying to put the batteries in the remote? And not the part that plugs into the wall?

I'm having a hard time too...the housing is actually cracking and I still haven't gotten them apart :( EDIT: I ended up taking out the two screws on the back of the remote (disassembling the remote in the process) to get it detached. The seam on the remote is getting caught on the seam on the base...maybe a few times detaching and re-attaching will smooth it out.

I would call customer support on the issue. Seems like you received a faulty remote :/

Sounds like the remote has a software problem that is affecting the battery. Try updating the firmware first then test it out with a new battery replacement.

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?

I've got mine with a battery. It might be not in the remote, try to find it in the box, if not then contact a seller

Mine worked as soon as I put batteries in - no programming required. My tv is a Vizio 55" E552VL. I know this is a no brainer, but I would just double check a few things - is your tv listed in the discription as being compatable with this remote? Do you have working batteries? Is the remote sensor clear from obstructions? If yes to all these, it might be they sent the wrong remote or that the remote is defective. Sorry, I wasn't too helpful - but I'm fairly certain that this remote comes pre-programmed to the tvs listed.

First insure the wires are connected correctly. Make sure you have good batteries in the remote, if that doesn't work move it manually with the buttons on the box. If these don't work send it back for a new one.

Yes. Same thing happened to mine (had it duct taped shut). Bought this and it worked right out of box. Once you put batteries in it will sync with the tv and you should be set.

You will see a little indent between the top portion of the remote and the bottom. I use the clip to stick in it and give the clip a slight twist and it will separate the top from the bottom. Note the position of the top so you put it on in the same way. the same goes with the battery. Then just snap it back together.

Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons. I had to do it one button at a time, manually. As to how that works, I'm sorry but I can't remember exactly. I just remember fighting with the thing for a long time.This remote has now become nearly useless, as the main select button has to be mashed hard to get it to react, and the up/down selector ring is also barely functioning. It has also become very position sensitive and has to be pointed directly at the Dish box to work, and is slow even then.I have bought a new Sony RM-VLZ620 to replace it. Sorry I was not more help. If I knew then what I know now about the URC, I would have sent it back. You should too. Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons.

One thing you might try is changing the battery. You need to find the catch and open the remote (the entire unit) replace the battery and see if that helps. If you have bought the unit put the battery that came with it in.This TV has the best picture of any TV I have ever seen. But the only problem is the Smart TV seems smarter than me.
