It may be the TV/Sat button itself that is the problem. However, you can try to reset the remote:
  1. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
  2. On the remote control, press every button twice.
  3. Reinstall the batteries.

    NOTES:

    • Ensure the batteries are installed correctly.
    • Ensure that fresh batteries are also installed.
You can also try to re-program the remote: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-remote.pl?mdl=RMAAL001 If neither of these troubleshooting options fixes the issue, then service may be required.
