There are many reasons why your JVC remote may not be working. Some of these issues can be resolved by restarting the TV, while others may require a trip to your local electronics store for replacement batteries or a new remote altogether. The following helpful guide will help you troubleshoot common issues with JVC remotes so that you can get back to enjoying your favorite shows and movies on the big screen.
Why is My JVC Smart TV remote not working?
You may be experiencing one of the following:
- Your remote control does not work.
- The remote control does not respond to your commands.
- The power button isn’t firing up your Smart TV.
- The remote control does not connect with the TV or cable box, no matter how many times you try to pair it with your JVC Smart TV or home entertainment system, and you’re getting frustrated trying every trick in the book to get it to work again.
Turn off the power to the TV, wait a while, then turn it back on
If you are using a JVC remote to control your TV, there is a good chance that it won’t work when the power to the set is off. When this happens, turn off the power to your TV and wait for a few minutes before turning it back on again.
You can also unplug the power cable from the back of your television and wait for a few minutes before reconnecting it, and trying the remote buttons.
If you still have issues with your JVC remote’s functionality, and power button after trying these steps, it’s probably a good idea to contact JVC customer service or visit their website for more information about how to fix this problem.
Turn off and disconnect the power cable of your modem/router
If this doesn’t work, try turning off and disconnecting the power cable of your modem/router. Leave it off for a while and then turn it back on again. If nothing happens after you reconnect everything, move on to step 3 below:
If you cannot find a solution to this problem by checking the above steps, try resetting the TV and Network Media Player by pressing and holding down their buttons simultaneously until they blink twice in order to reset them. This should solve most problems with remote control functionality, and will give you the necessary screen instructions to get things up and running again.
Turn off the power to the TV and Network Media Player, wait a while, then turn them back on again
It is important that you turn off the power to the TV and Network Media Player, wait a while, then turn them back on again, before retrying the menu button. This will restart your network connection and can solve many issues. If this does not work, try the other fixes listed below.
If you’re using an app on your phone or tablet to control your JVC Smart TV remotely, it’s possible that there is a problem with the app itself.
Check with developer support to see if they have any known issues or fixes available for their apps that could help resolve this issue. Sometimes, it can be an issue with JVC rather than your remote or your TV.
You may have accidentally changed some settings in your Network Media Player (JVC GY-HM890U) which caused it to stop responding properly.
If turning off the power to all three devices does not work
The next step is to reset the remote control. To do this, you will need to press and hold down on the button for at least 15 seconds until all three lights flash together. This will reset the remote control and should fix any issues that could be causing it not to work properly.
If turning off the power to all three devices does not work, try unplugging them for about 30 seconds and then plugging everything back in again. Make sure that you are using fresh batteries in your JVC Smart TV remote control, as well as making sure that they are inserted correctly before trying this step.
Finally, if none of these methods work then there may be an issue with your JVC Smart TV itself or its signal receiver which would require a professional to come out and take a look at it or replace one if necessary.
What can you do if your JVC Smart TV volume buttons stop working?
Unresponsive volume buttons on a JVC Smart TV can be a frustrating experience. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to get your TV’s sound back on track.
If the issue is caused by the remote, try replacing the batteries or checking for any obstructions blocking the infrared signal from the remote to the TV, resulting in a couple of buttons not working correctly.
You could also ensure that your remote and television are paired correctly. If these solutions don’t work, another possible fix is to reset your TV by unplugging it and holding down the power button for 10 seconds before plugging it back in.
Finally, if all else fails, contact JVC’s customer support team, who should be able to help you troubleshoot and resolve any audio problems.
Here are three fixes for your JVC remote control problems
Here are three fixes to potentially fix your JVC remote control problems.
- Turn off all devices. Make sure that you have turned off any other devices and games consoles connected to the TV, as well as any cable boxes or set-top boxes. If you don’t, it might be interfering with the signal that allows you to use your JVC remote control.
- Try reconnecting the remote control. If you’ve recently moved or had a power outage, this can sometimes cause problems with your remote control—so try reconnecting it by pressing and holding buttons on both parts of the device until they lock together (about 15 seconds). This can sometimes reset the connected device issues.
- Try another universal remote if necessary. If none of these simple steps work, try using a different universal remote instead of yours—sometimes different models will work better than others when trying to connect with specific equipment like televisions or gaming systems.
Conclusion
JVC remote control problems are common, but they’re not always easy to fix. If your remote is not working or is only partially working, there are several things you can do before contacting customer service.
First, check the batteries in both the remote and the TV itself. If they’re low on charge or drained entirely, then that could be causing problems with controlling your television (or vice versa).
Next, try resetting both devices by holding down buttons on each for about 5 seconds until you hear a beep from one of them. Thirdly, reboot your PC if you have one nearby, since sometimes other software like Windows updates will affect keyboard usage too (such as when using a virtual keypad).
Fourthly, replace any damaged wires connecting between them, since this can cause intermittent connectivity problems as well. Lastly, if none of those seem to work, then call up customer support because it might be time for another new remote instead…
