They also sell replacement remotes.
Have you tried new batteries?
Thanks for the reply - I've been through all the standard troublehooting steps: new batteries, reprogramming the remote, and I even tried a new high end universal remote - all to no avail - and worse, with the way RCA was broken into a thousand parts and sold off, my model seems to have fallen through the cracks and there is no one "officially" standing behind the warranty. I've found numerous articles that any RCA product with "RT-2" as the first 3 characters in the model number are universally known to have defective IR Receivers. With no one willing to back the warranty, the repair would cost nearly as much as the original purchae price. It is really upsetting that these products are still being sold when there is a known functional issue, and no warranty coverage when you discover the problem. I doubt I'll ever buy anything RCA ever again - I can't trust their name or their products. Everything I have found so far about model RT-2906 says cut your losses and throw it out. Guess I'll start shopping tomorrow. Thanks again for trying to help. I just hope my experience will help someone else avoid being ripped off.
I have this same problem but it is specifically tied to the connection of digital optical from my Panasonic 55G310u And only when the HDMI-connected Vizio Blu Ray player is on. It seems as though the receiver is expecting volume. Control through the optical link.
It gets more bizarre...I disconnected the optical link between my toshiba 55" LCD tv and the unit still does not respond to the remote, but only is the tv is set to any input other than colorstream
