I bought a new Philips Universal Remote Control at Wal-Mart this afternoon to replace the old RCA TV control.
The old one is still working except the volume up button. It is need 4 AAA batteries.
I tried my best to fix this button including open the controler and cleaning. All failed.
I saw the Universal Remote Control is about $9 with 3 devices, such as TV, VCR/DVD, Cable/Sat. This 3 devices controler has lowerst price. Some 4 or 5 devices may double the price.

When I install the batteries and try to search the code, firstly I did not success with the direct code entry.
It has a list of codes for different brand devices.
I have to try the second way by programming with code search. It is much easy.
1) Manually turn on the device (TV, DVD) to be controlled.
2) Press and hold code search button until the red indicator stays on. Release the code search button.
3) Press and release the desired mode button (TV, DVD,etc)
4) Press the Channel Up button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device to be controlled changes channel.
5) Press and release the Mute button to install the code.
This is a log for future use.

guys after you keep pushing the channel up button, press it slowley, then hit mute like he/she says, up top, and it will work...if you keep pushing the channel button to fast, after it changes a channel, then stops working, you have to start all over again, push it kinda slwoely

i lost my book and i need the code for a sony tv anyone might know let me know asap plz. i need my remote again thanks
IT WORKED!!! THANKS!!!! :D
Thanks so much for putting this online. I lost my manual and this worked perfectly! THANK YOU!
thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
much......i was once lost....now im found....
Thanks for the above instruction on programing. Have a Toshiba TV and DVD. Worked GREAT on programing the TV, but not the DVD. Any suggestions? Any help will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry
thanks dog, your shit worked!
so what happens if i cant turn on the tv manually i have an RCA and we got the remote to work a couple times but everytime i take out the batteries it just stoppes working please help
Your suggestion worked. It will pay to count to yourself the clicks of the channel button if you want to go fast. If you do that, when you go past your spot when clicking...you can at least fly up to the pt on your next try and then slow down to keep from missing it. Thank you. This might work for other people. My tv was very old, that is probably why none of the codes worked from the site i have posted...it may work for others. good luck and thanks again.
www.universal-remote.net/philipsmagnavox.html
YOU ROCK!!! I don't know what I would have done with out this... I couldn't find anything helpful anywhere else online.
Dude, do you know to set up a Toshiba Tv. I lost my manual. I tried the code search, 300 times but it didn't work at all. please help me out.
Thanks so much! This worked great for our new Sony TV whereas the codes on the remote pamphlet did NOT work.
Thanks so much for this post. All those other codes didn't work at all. I'm never programming this remote again any other way than this :)
can you please e mail me the codes for a symphonic tv? i seem to have lost the code page to my remote. i'd really appreciate it!!
EEEE NI99A!!!!!!!
I GOT IT USING THE SECOND METHOD, THANXZ
Worked great! We found if you hit the channel button too many times after the channel changes, it won't work. so be careful and u might have to try a couple times. We have a panasonic TV.. worked great :)
How do you change the code with this listed (above) method if its for a DVD player--there are no "Channels" to change on a DVD player... ??? Help!
tanx alot bro i realize the remote needs a 4 figure number and it waz impossible to program it!!

I lost the remote.
Thanks and kudos to you...

The PIP works anytime. But if you want two different pictures, you need two video sources. For example, one TV tuner and one DVD player. You got same pictures, because you have one video source only.
I lost my manual and i need to know how to program to my Sanyo Television. Its actually the same remote you have up on the website UPC code is 026616617715 if it helps. Mostly Appreciate it.
Check your email. I send it to you already.
Please can you help with the code!

Please help.
seriously. i threw my remote onto the floor (hard enough the batteries came out) during the iowa-pitt football game and it refused to work after that. this worked. you=amazing.
Need the code for this remote toshiba tv thanks
David,
First off ... I've scanned the comments section of this post. (You're a saint).
I think we can help each other. The following link will lead everyone to the Philips support site, which has all of the universal remote manuals. So instead of answering everyone individually, they can just print out the codes for future reference.
http://www.urc.philips.com/
The picture of your remote (and the year you bought it, at Wal-Mart) matches my remote, exactly. It;s the only time I've seen the 3-device referenced on the net.
Anyway, if you'd be so kind as to give me the model (as it relates to the above link - starts with GVU, MRU, etc.) and the number (e.g. GVU 1100, 1242, etc.), I'd be supremely happy.
(My DVD player will work again!)
Again, David - thank you so much for responding to everyone, and helping us all out.
Thanks, was just what I needed to find the code, 2nd website I checked.
i have a sharp tv and have recently bought this philips universal remote control. it works pretty well but the only problem is that i cannot do channel search!!! dont have cable yet and i just want to watch what i can until cable arrives. any ideas? how can i scan channels with this remote?
THANK YOU! This worked like a charm! Kudos to you for figuring out something to beat the challenges of crappy technology!
Thank you thank you!!!! i have been looking all over for codes and shit... this way was much eeasier. haha thanks much
i have a newtech tv and i cant figure out how to program my remote pleaaasseeee help me.
how are you suppose to use a remote that doesn't work
THANK YOU for this information. I lost the remote to an Element TV and could find no codes to work. Tried on an off for over a week. Your code search instructions worked PERFECTLY in less than 2 minutes.
