What should I do if my Magnavox TV does not respond to my remote?

As long as your tv is of a later model you can buy a universal remote. Take the model number with you so you can get the right kind.

The first thing to do would be to check the batteries in the remote. If the batteries are new, the remote may need to be reprogrammed.

Check to see if the remote sensor is blocked. If that is not the case then change the batteries in the remote. If that doesn't work, I would try another remote that can be programmed to control your TV. If the other remote works then you probably have a messed up TV remote.

If there is no light on the front of the remote or it needs batteries then it's the remote. If the remote is fine it's the tv's ir receiver.
