P265 Remote & Sharp 60" TV Problem

I have a Sharp 60" TV and the p265 remote seems to have a hard time controlling it. When I use the remote to do anything (adjust volume, change the aspect ratiio ie: wide, cinema, zoom etc.) the p265 will then change these same parameters on the TV every time I use the remote for doing anything. When using the guide to browse the channels, the volume changes in the last direction I had been changing moving it (volume up or volume down). The mute and A/V buttons also don't work properly, they both mute the volume but the A/V button only does the muting, not the A/V function. I believe I have the wrong remote code for the TV but the only one listed for a Sharp Tv is 342. Does anyone know any other remote codes for Sharp TV's I can try?

I have the same problem with a brand new Sharp 43".
After hours on the phone with 5 different tech support folks (including one from India that couldn't speak English) I was told that their remotes do not work with Sharp TVs (code 342) for volume.
Their remotes to not work with Dynex TVs either for volume control
Comcast, when I had them, had remotes that worked fine. But, Verizon is stiffing us with remotes that are {word filter avoidance}.
I see only three choices.
1. Use your TV remote for controlling volume
2. Go out and buy a Harmony universal remote (or similar quality)
3. Cancel your Verizon FIOS TV
I am leaning towards option 3.

  • Control Volume on an AV Receiver with the Verizon P265 remote

    Hi,
    Is there a way to program the Verizon P265 Remote to control the volume on a AV Receiver. Previous versions of the Verizon remote were able to do this but I can't find a way to do it on the new one.
    Thanks,

  • Codes for devices other than TVs with P265 remote?

    Hi everyone,
    I have the Verizon P265 remote. I would like to set it up to work with my stereo system to be able to adjust the volume but I noticed that only TV codes are included in the code list. Is it possible to use this remote control with devices other than TVs?
    Thanks very much!

    No.
    Your best bet for a remote to do what you want is to try to find one of the Verizon 4-button remotes or buy a programmable remote. Verizon lists their 4-button remote on this site for $11.99:
    https://teleproducts.verizon.com/fios/index.cfm/eh/DisplayProducts?LOBCode=C&PromoTCode=A0760&PromoS...
    I don't know if they really have any they will sell you though, but I guess it can't hurt to try.
    Many people think that Logitech Harmony remotes are very good, although I think they are pretty expensive.
    Another option might be, if you don't want to buy a remote control, to reprogram the P265 to control the volume on the STB rather than on the TV. Then you could set the voume on your stereo system to a reasonable level and adjust the volume on the STB.  The little instruction booklet that comes with the P265 describes how to do that.

  • Remote and Motorola DVR Problems

    I was connected to fios internet and tv on March 5, I have called tech support at least 8 times about the remote not working . I have had 3 boxes and 2 remotes sent to me and I still have the problem . I have a Sony Bravia LCD 40" TV
    The first box was a Motorola QIP 72161 that came with the installation (remote worked intermittent)
    I was sent a new remote same results
    Sent a new box the old style 64xxxx remote worked but the hard drive was bad
    New box Motorola QIP 72161 same problem
    Tech support advised me I did not set up the remote codes properly (had same results it would work for a while then stop)
    Tech support hung up on me
    Tech support had me lower the picture settings advised me the picture was too bright and it interfered with the remote. She was very polite and helpful saying that this is a known issue and the problem is in the new Motorola boxes Sony, Samsung Sharp all are having this problem  (worked all day but not at night)
    Tech support told me I had to move the box from out from under the TV still did not work and that was all the solutions they had. By the way the remote works with the TV off. Played around with the settings on the TV ended up increasing the setting to vivid and the remote worked the rest of the night. So much for the brightness theory. But alas it did not  work again this morning. Again the remote works with the TV off. Played around some more and you know when you first turn on the power to the TV you have a blank screen well the remote won't work then either. Although when I turn off and on lights I get a response one way Or another.
    The attitude from the last techie is this is the way it is. I seems unfathomable that this is the response change your entertainment center watch a reduced quality picture or too bad.

    You are welcome funkyybuda. This seems to be a "hit or miss" problem, some people say turning off the light sensor helps, some say turning off the "vivid" mode on the TV works, some say neither helps, etc. But apparently for some people, changing a setting on the TV really does help, I guess it just depends on your TV brand and model, or perhaps the specific STB you have. Strange.....but glad it worked for you  
    As to why it works, the Verizon STBs use infrared (IR) for the remote to control the STB. Apparently some TVs generate their own IR signal for certain settings, like vivid or the light sensor, and the Verizon STB sees these signals and this prevents their reacting to the IR signal from the remote. So doing whatever you can to remove the IR from the TV, or reduce it, seems to solve the problem. I wonder why all STBs that use IR, from all manufacturers and used in all systems, don't experience this problem with TVs that generate their own IR. Just one of life's mysteries I guess....

  • P265 Remote won't control volume on Pioneer TV AFTER I press the final OK to lock in programming

    I have a variation on the common problem with getting the P265 to control the volume on my pioneer TV.
    I go through the setup instructions:
    - Press OK and 0 for 5 seconds
    - enter 290
    - Press channel up until it turns off my TV
    - Test Volume +-, mute, input, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE
    - Press OK to set the programming - red light blinks and goes out just like it is supposed to
    BUT, once I push that final OK, the remote no longer controls the Volume.  IT still works for on/off, mute, input, but NOT for volume.  Somehowe volume was working before I pushed the final OK to finish the programming, but once I push OK the remote forgets how to control the volume (but still works of on/off, mute, etc).
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    m

  • Remote Delta link setup problem with Bean / Access Service

    Hello,
    I am trying to setup Remote Delta Link (RDL) between two portals. (Both portals same version - EP 7.0 EHP1 SP 05 - are in the same domain)
    I already have the Remote Role Assignment working without any issues.
    The following have been done successfully:
    1. Same user repository has been setup for both the portals
    2. Setup trust between producer and consumer (SSO working fine)
    3. Producer added and registered succesfully on consumer
    4. Permissions setup on producer and consumer
    4. pcd_service user with required UME actions setup
    I am able to see all the remote content in the Consumer portal.
    When I try to copy the remote content and paste it as local content, I am getting the following error:
    Could not create remote delta link to object 'page id'. Could not connect to the remote portal. The remote portal may be down, there may be a network problem, or your connection settings to the remote portal may be configured incorrectly.
    After increasing the log severity, I am able to see the following in Default Trace:
    com.sap.portal.fpn.transport.Trying to lookup access service (P4-RMI) for connecting to producer 'ess_int' with information: com.sap.portal.fpn.remote.AccessServiceInformation@31c92207[connectionURL=hostname.mycompany.com:50004, shouldUseSSL=false, RemoteName=AccessService]

    [EXCEPTION]
    com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.exceptions.DirOperationFailedException: Could not retrieve the bean / access service to connect with producer
    Could not retrieve the bean / access service to connect with producer
    Like you can see above, there is some bean / access service which is not retrieved successfully. I am not sure if this is a permission problem on the consumer.
    I have checked that the P4 ports are configured correctly (standard - not changed) and I am able to telnet from producer to consumer (and vice versa) on the P4 port.
    I am stuck at this point and am not able to find any information on this.
    I would really appreciate if some one can point me in the right direction.
    Thank you for reading.
    - Raj

    Hi Raj,
    Please check your config of the P4 port on the producer.  Is it really 50004 (check SystemInfo of the producer)?
    I do think there's a problem with the P4 communication since RDL requires P4 connection.
    Do you have load balanced consumer-producer connection? Please refer to this blog for further details

  • Remote and keynoteRemote connection problems

    Hello
    I have installed the Remote App, and bought KeynoteRemote, but I cannot make any of them talk to my Macbook correctly.
    IpodTouch (2G, fw2.2.1), Remote.app (1.2.1), Macbook alu (10.5.6), Itunes (8.1.1).
    Ipod and Macbook are on the same Wifi network, the firewall is set to let Itunes (and keynotes from iwork09) pass thru.
    I can see the iPod appearing in Itunes (and keynotes), both will ask me the passcode, I enter the numbers and nothing more happens.
    iTunes asks for them again, keynotes says the ipod is not responding.
    What else should I lookk for to solve this problem ?
    Thanks
    p.

    Try setting your firewall on your MacBook to Allow all Incoming Connections. Do this at least long enough to see if that will allow you to connect. You can also use the Set Access for specific services and applications setting.
    These two articles discuss ways to troubleshoot the apps:
    Remote: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741
    Keynote Remote (from the manual) Using Keynote Remote
    If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you can purchase and download the Keynote
    Remote application from the App Store and use it to control your slideshow. After
    you’ve purchased the Keynote Remote application, you must link it to your computer
    before you can use it. To do this, your iPhone or iPod touch and computer must be on
    the same Wi-Fi network.
    You must open the Keynote slideshow document on your computer before you can
    begin to control it using the Keynote Remote.
    To link your Keynote Remote:
    1 Open Keynote on your computer and choose Keynote > Preferences.
    2 Click Remote in the Preferences window and select “Enable iPhone and iPod touch
    Remotes.”
    3 Click the Keynote Remote application icon on your iPhone or iPod touch.
    4 On your iPhone or iPod touch, create a link to Keynote, following the instructions on
    the device.
    A passcode appears.
    5 In Keynote, click the link button next to the remote device that you want to pair with,
    and type the passcode into the window that opens in Keynote.
    6 Close Keynote preferences.
    I would get the iTunes app working first and then work on the Keynote remote. It is probably the same basic problem effecting both.

  • Remote access vpn ESP problem

    I have remote access vpn configured on cisco 2901 router. Everything works good exept ipad 2 3g. When i am connecting with ipad from 3g network it connects but  it is unable to access corporate resources. I talked to my telephone provaider and they told me that they have some nat problems with ESP. and adviced me to force vpn clients to use udp ports 500 and 4500. How i have to configure my router to accomplish this ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    Isakmp uses port UDP 500 for the managment connection establishment ( Phase 1).
    NAT-T ( used when they are nat devices in between two VPN endpoints) uses port UDP 4500.
    So on your Router NAT-T is configured by default, all you got to do is if you have an ACL on the outside interface allow this traffic (Isakamp and NAT T) On some of the newer IOS versions you do not have to apply the ACL as by default the VPN traffic (encrypted traffic bypasses the ACL).
    So your requirement is done by default, great thing right!! You can let your Telephone provider you are ready for the test.

  • IOS Remote and Home Sharing problems with iTunes 10.6.3

    I'm having a problem with Home Sharing and the iOS Remote app accessing iTunes since the 10.6.3 update. I have the following:
    2011 Mac Mini Server running Lion 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.3
    IPhone 4 running iOS 5.1
    iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.1
    Latest model Apple TV
    The Remote app on both the iPhone and iPad are unable to connect to the iTunes library on the Mini (the app will just sit there trying to connect but never make a connection). The Apple TV is showing the same behaviour: when I go into 'Computers' it tries to connect to my library without success.
    I've tried a few things:
    1) Turning off and re-enabling Home Sharing on the Mac Mini
    2) Deleting my library in the iOS app and then re-adding it
    In both cases this seemed to work at first, but then after a while I was unable to connect again.
    I have since discovered that if I quit and restart iTunes on the Mac this seems to resolve the issue on all of the other devices. But again this is a short term fix and after a while they are once again unable to connect.
    The Mac Mini is always on and is set to not sleep (although I have to enter the password again after an hour).
    At first I thought this might be time related, and that if the Mac had been idle for a while and the drives were 'sleeping' then the issue would occur. However, if I have left the Mac for several hours and then go back to it and login and start something playing in iTunes the other 3 devices still cannot connect even though iTunes is active and reading from the drive. As soon as I restart iTunes they can all see the library again for a while.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    thanks
    Mark

    Same thing here except I'm not running server software on the Mac Mini. The Apple support person said that iTunes is the same, server or not. He recommeded setting sleep to never, but I get the same connection problems. I also automatically restart the Mini and relaunch iTunes on startup every morning at 6 AM. And, as with your experience, the only temporary solution is to quit and restart iTunes at the time that I want to connect. Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad all have the same connection problem. My only hope at this point is 10.8. I have to say, 10.7 has never behaved better than a beta release. I hope they took a little more time with Mountain Lion.
    Sorry I don't have a solution. I wanted to add my name to the list and hope someone out there has some insight to share.

  • ITunes, iPad, Remote app Home Sharing Problems. Please help!

    So I have my 13" Macbook Pro with the latest version of iTunes installed (10.5.2)
    I also have a 32GB Wifi iPad 2 with iOS (5.0.1) with the Remote app installed.
    I am so frustrate with this stupid Home Sharing. I followed the directions the app gave me beginning with turning on Home Sharing on iTunes on my MacBook with my account. I then used the same account to turn on Home Sharing on my iPad from the Remote app. I wait a bit, and wait some more, and yet my iTunes library isn't shown in my Remote app like it is in my iPhone.
    I've tried to find the answer to my problem via Google and these Apple Support Communities, but with no fix.
    I wish you could just connect your device to the computer and punch in the 4-digit code like they used to have you do.
    Please help! Thanks in advance.

    Try turning Home Share off then on on the MacBook Pro and then check Remote App to see if now appears and you can connect - for me it works but eventually I will have to repeat the process to get it working again.
    The four digit code method still works.

    I couldn't find any information on this particular model either from Google or on the Sharp USA site. Frequently, manufacturers will use or emulate the PCL 5 or PCL 6 printer languages. If the unit is black and white only, you could try the generic PCL Gutenprint drivers. If the unit is color, try the generic PCL drivers from the hpijs package. _http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs_

  • Remote host ip adress problem

    Hi,

  • MSI TV@Anywhere PLUS remote control shut down problem

    Hi!
    I have a MSI TV@Anywhere PLUS card working fine. I use the remote control without problem. Except that, when i want  to shut down my PC with it. I push "POWER", the app closes, and after that i push "RESET" and I get this: "Press "Power" to shut down your computer, or any other key to cancel" . But whatever I try to push on the remote, nothing happens...but by the mouse, the OK or Cancel buttons work.
    Can somebody help , what is going on?
    thanks much!

    Hi All,
    I solved my problem with some trying, this msi remote is really funny....
    Okey, so It appears that, when the above mentioned "shut down or cancel" window comes up pushing the "RESET" on my remote, the remote app. stops receiving commands/stops working. If i close this window, I am able to use again my remote controller. phhhh....
    All right, lets use the built-in mouse/pointer controller to click (5) on OK in the window, when it is asking for shut down... NOT working either, because as i mentioned above, when the window appears, the remote stops working... jejeje :D
    So, I made a shutdown.exe command icon on the desktop, and I can click on it with my remote...solved...
    (the remote controller cannot navigate the cursor above the windows taskbar i do not no why..., besides this, it is ridiculous how difficult to move the cursor with he controller, pushing like crazy :D )

  • Windows server 2003 Remote desktop over WAN problem.

    Ok so problem is there is a 2003 windows server in my office. Any computer phone etc. can connect to it via Remote desktop if they are in the LAN network. I have port forwarded 3389 , disabled firewalls , there is no antivirus software on the server.
    BUT I cannon log in over WAN. Heres the problem.
    I type in the WAN ip I connect with credentials.
    This is what i get:
    Connecting...
    Negotiating credentials...
    Then it just suddenly force closes.
    Also tried from a Windows 8 PC , when trying to connect it INSTANTLY throws me an error saying:
    This computer cant connect to the remote computer. If the problem continues contact etc..
    No matter where i try , a pc , a laptop , a phone , a tablet it just force closes. I can see that the devices are able to see the server and are trying to connect , but the connection just force closes for no reason and no error is shown. Also I dont see
    anything in the event viewer on the server. The credentials are correct also. And the port is forwarded correctly.
    Where could the problem be?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As you have commented that you have forwarded port correctly at windows end, but still suggest you to check whether you have port forwarded on Router which you are using for WAN connections. 
    Can your local system can make successful ping to the remote server from WAN connections?
    For testing you can telnet <router ip> 3389 and if you get blank screen then it confirm that port has been forwarded.
    It might happens that there is port assignment conflict taken place, so check with “netstat –a –o” and see port 3389 is not being used by other application, if that is the case then change the port.
    You can refer following article for more troubleshooting steps (Point 2)
    Remote Desktop disconnected or can’t connect to remote computer or Remote Desktop server (Terminal Server) that is running Windows Server 2003
