from an unused HDMI input, and make the room dark, it might be illuminating to see what you can see. Seeing IR given off from the TV might be more problematical, as it would probably be only a faint glow, and the TV is giving off heat and light anyway, usually.īut if you get a black screen up, e.g. Were you looking at something else?If you have a smartphone, its camera will make IR visible to the human eye - certainly well enough that you can see the output from the business end of a remote. To give the BT technician his due he did say that several factors could interfere with the signal including microwave ovens so it makes sense that the TV and Youview and remote are conflicting. proximity of remote left too close to TV. the relationship of Youview to position of TV plus 2. So I think there may be a combination of problems in my case 1. It has accidentally been placed back onto the shelf near TV several times by him who thinks he knows best, but provided it is kept elsewhere there has been no further problems. I have found removing the batteries in the remote and replacing them resets the remote and it works fine again. Were you looking at something else?Another update - I had further problems with the remote but have found that leaving the remote too near to the TV seems to be causing the problem. The blue light will flash again and your remote will be programmed for your TV If everything's okay, press OK to confirm. After a long time wondering why i couldn't get this working, this method has worked. The trick was using the TV remote at times to turn it on or off for the appropriate test stage of the Youview remote and not pressing OK (to memorise codes) until you knew you had everything set.īri, Thank you. Sometimes after finding Volume and AV worked, Off no longer worked. I probably found 4 codes which partially worked before finding the one which did everything. If it doesn't restart the set up process without pressing OK and the remote will try new codes. If it does you have finished and press OK to memorise settings. Now turn on the TV with its own remote and test volume and AV control work on the Youview remote. If they work test if the TV off control still works. At that point you want to test if the volume and AV controls work (before pressing OK). So in setting up the Youview remote at the stage of trying to turn on the TV you have to look for just a flicker on the TV red light (because a long press would move on the code). Even so, the YouView remote would still control the soundbar.The underlying problem is that the Panasonic needs a long press on the remote to turn it on. On such occasions, I would set the YouView box to record two of them and watch the third on the TV's tuner, but I would have to use the TV's remote for that. Since the YouView box has two tuners built-in (three if you include the Internet), I use the TV's own tuner once in a blue moon (like when there are three things, on different multiplexes, showing simultaneously that I want to watch). The volume control on the YouView remote turns the volume of the soundbar up and down. I disabled the TV's own speakers, using the set's Philips remote. The left one turns the TV on and off, the central does the same for the YouView box and the one on the right the soundbar. There are three buttons in a line across the top of the remote. Different soundbars will have different procedures. The soundbar's instructions were to the effect of selecting a particular setting on the bar, pointing the remote at it and holding a couple of buttons down for a few seconds. If you no longer have it, you should be able to download a copy from BT. The code for the TV should be in the instruction manual that came with your box. I use my BT YouView remote to control my BT YouView box, my Philips TV and my Yamaha soundbar, so you are wrong, Gomezz.
