I have been given a Mitsubishi VS-5052 projection tv with the original remote. I was told the remote was working but hasn't worked for me since I got it. Changed batteries, still the only thing the remote does is the volume control. Is it possible to get another remote for this tv? or would a universal remote work for switching between the inputs?
This site sell Substitute remote that should do everything orignal did. HERE.
A universal remote might do what you want but you never know. I got a twin pack of philips universal remotes that look like this from walmart (HERE PIC) and they seem to do pretty much almost everything on a sony and panasonic Rear projection TV. Give them a try if your walmart has them.
Give universal remotes a try, if it doesnt work for what you need it to do you can return it and try another brand.
