Why my Vivitar universal remote is not working?

Your Vivitar universal remote may stop working if the batteries are dead, the buttons are jammed, the infrared emitter is faulty, or the remote has not been programmed correctly. Replacing the batteries, checking for stuck keys, and reprogramming the remote usually resolve the issue. If problems continue, the IR emitter may need professional repair or replacement.
