  If your Prima TV DVD Combo's remote control isn't working, first, make sure you're aiming it directly at the remote sensor. Then, ensure you are within 23 feet of the TV and that there isn't too much light in the room. Remove any obstacles blocking the path between the remote and the TV. If it still doesn't work, try replacing the batteries or ensure they are correctly inserted.
