Wii help

I got a Wii today and I can't get it to work. I hooked it up and it ask me to push A on the controller. I do that, hear a chime than it ask me to select a language. Problem is that nothing I do to the controller does anything when I get to this screen? Am I missing something? Once I reach the language screen the only button on the Wiimote that responds is the Power button. Am I doing something wrong or not doing something? Is my Wii already shot?

    Have you set the sensor bar up correctly? How big is your TV? If it's a small TV, try moving farther back until a hand appears on the screen.

    In his defense I did that as well. Got a little excited when hooking it up and completely neglected the sensor bar. But it worked, as long as I was <2ft away from the tee vee.

    Whoooooops! Hi5

    You can also use candles instead of the sensor bar. Not as effective, but works the same.
