Volume only on Remote Control stopped working
[BTW, if the moderators would like to move this thread to the "Remote Controls" section that is fine with me - I wasn't able to do it myself]
So out of the blue the volume button on the remote control has stopped working.
I have the HDDVR and my TV is a Sony Bravia KDL 40EX400.
The Sony remote for the TV works perfectly fine with all the functions.
The DirectTv remote works fine with all the functions - except that the volume doesn't work.
Just for the heck of it, I tried reprogramming the DirectTv remote with various codes - still the volume button doesn't work - although everything else does.
Swapped out batteries - still the volume doesn't work.
Grabbed the remote that works in the other room - all the functions work on it - except the volume.
So....any ideas what the problem may be?
Thanks for any help.

Is the remote that works in the other room programmed for a Sony TV also? If not, that's why it didn't work. Let's try reprogramming the remote again. With the slide switch at the top of the remote positioned all the way to the right, push and hold select and mute at the same time until the green led flashes twice. Then push 10000. Then push select. Then push the slide switch all the way back to the left. All done. Good luck.

You get your brownie points for the evening!
Your steps worked. When I went through the codes earlier, I did those steps, but I didn't use the number 10000....I wonder if that was what did it? Don't know....at least this way as exhausted as I am....I don't have to climb out of bed or have the second remote getting lost.
Thanks for taking the time.

I am having the exact same problem, but it also includes the Mute button, so I cannot even reprogram the remote. Is there another way to get to that besides pressing Select and Mute at the same time?

I am trying to use my Sony remote, only on my Sony TV. The mute button works as well as channel and other buttons, but no luck with the volume up/down button.

I am having the same problem of just the volume doesn't work. Receiver Model MDV3000/F7. Directv universal remote R66rx.
Went through the reprograming TV multiple times, still volume doesn't work.
There is only one TV number for Sanyo to reprogram.
Tried testing the remote on 2nd Sanyo tv in another room, works fine there.
Tried reprogramming the tv vis the Mute/Select series, with 981 then 10154(Sanyo) then 963. No help.
Read the forum answers for similar problems but with different tv's, receiver models, or remote models, and tried a few but they didn't work either.
I'm thinking of trying to reset the receiver, but I don't know which reset to choose, or how much trouble it will be to reprogram it.
Can you help??

The MDV3000 is a DVD Player, not a DirecTV Receiver. DirecTV remotes cannot control DVD Players.
