The program timer light is blinking. the remote doesnt work. you also couldnt turn channels. i tried programing my sat. remote but didnt work. i tried inserting blank tape, reset by holding play and fast forward. i got the channels to work only with the buttons on tv. i need to be able to set the time. i think that might fix it, but i cant use the remote
The timer light blinks when the AC power has been disconnected and the clock is not set. This is how the set warns you that it can no longer do timer recordings. Setting the clock and doing an autoprogram will fix it, but both the remote and the remote receiver must be working. If the original remote is not damaged and has good batteries in it but does not work on that set and you cannot get any other universal remote to work, then the remote receiver (the IR "eye") inside the set has failed and needs to be replaced. I have seen many of those little receivers failing recently. If you do not have experience changing electronic parts on small PC boards then have a qualified tech change it for you.
