you need to select the TV's AUX input.....

if you can't select it, post your TV model number

I suspect your grandson may have been charged up with static from the carpet or his clothing on the floor.

Try swapping out the dvd cables with those from the dish. Might help eliminate one question mark.

Model number MS3250 C331 Serial number 78200731 I can get to the tv setup menu by holding in the volumn up and down buttons but didn't see an Aux setup, hope this isn't only on the "lost" remote. Dvd uses the 3 colored wires, red, white, and yellow. Dish uses coax cable, can't swap them around. Will try new colored cables tonight.

Press the CH + or  buttons on the TV to scroll the channels until AV1 appears in the upper left corner of the
TV screen.

Thank-you, thank-you. Found the DVD player between channel 1 and 125. Now I have to teach my brother how to go from the Dish control to the tv channel control. Don't suppose you could tell me how to get the dvd player back to playing on channel 3, same as the dish?
