Why is my Emerson CRT TV remote control not working?

If the remote control for your Emerson CRT TV isn't working, start by checking the batteries and ensuring they are correctly inserted with the proper polarities (+/– signs). Verify that there are no obstructions between the remote control and the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit. Aim the remote directly at the sensor window and reduce the distance to the unit. Also, check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit. If the signal output of the remote is OK, there might be an issue with the infrared sensor.
