How to fix Emerson TV DVD Combo remote control that is not working?

  natasha55Aug 20, 2025
  If your Emerson TV DVD Combo remote control isn't working, first check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit. Then, inspect the remote's batteries, ensuring they are correctly inserted with the proper polarities (+/- signs). Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote and the infrared sensor on the unit. Aim the remote directly at the sensor, and reduce the distance to the unit. If you have an infrared-equipped device nearby, it may be interfering with the remote signal; move it away, adjust the sensor angle, or disable its infrared communication function.

Ensure all cables to the unit are connected to the correct output jack of your device, like a BD/DVD recorder. Confirm the selected input mode corresponds to the working input jack.

  If your Emerson TV DVD Combo has no picture or sound, check the connections of the antenna, cable receiver, or satellite box. Ensure the selected input mode is connected to the working input jack. If using PC mode, make sure your computer is not in sleep mode. Also, ensure the sound is not muted and the volume is not set to [0] or [Mute]. Try viewing other TV channels, as the issue might be with the broadcasting station or a weak signal. As a last resort, unplug the AC power cord, wait about 1 minute, then plug it back in and turn the unit on again.

  If the picture quality on your Emerson TV DVD Combo is poor but the sound is okay, try watching 'High Definition' wide screen programs for the best picture. If HD content isn't available, switch to 'Standard Definition' programs instead. You can also view other TV channels, as the problem might be due to the broadcasting station or a weak signal.
