I need a replacement remote control

Hi Geoff

If it's only the number 1 button you have this problem with, then it's likely that the membrane is worn and, realistically, you'll need a new remote.

If all keys do the same, i.e 2, 20, 22 and 3 30 33 then it's probably just the response time of the TV. This is so you can enter long channel numbers like 111 without the TV changing to channel 1 or 11 before you have finished entering the channel number. Similarly, if it's on all keys, it could just be a sign that the batteries need replacing.

Anything can be fixed, but in the case of a remote control, the cost and difficulty of obtaining parts mean it's is usually easier and cheaper to buy a new remote.

You can buy replacment remotes from a variety of places, but make sure you are buying a Genuine Original OEM remote and not a third-party replacement. Beware, some shops also charge extortionate prices so make sure you shop around, but you should expect to pay £15-20 depending on which remote you have. I have used the shop below for replacement remotes and they are reliable, but not always the cheapest. Their prices do include delivery though. You will need your remote control model number when searching. On Samsungs this number is usually under the bottom row of keys:

http://www.remote-controls-shop.co.uk/

http://www.ebay.co.uk is also a good source of replacement remotes.

If you have any difficulty finding a replacement or you need any further information, please post back with your model number and I may be able to find you a good deal on a genuine unit.


Please rate this solution if you find it helpful. Thanks.

"try the following codes 10019, 0178, 10178, 0030, 10030, 0835, 10835, or for Dish Network try 627, 659 or 505. For Fios TV (Verizon), try the code 3264. These codes may not work on some universal remotes. If there is another code listed for Element Electronics in your universal remote control guide, please try that code. Refer to the Remote Control Guide under your TV’s model number for more information."

U get same as the original remote.

It took me a week to find the right instructions and codes on how to do this so I am posting it everywhere I can to help out folks with the same remote. Pay close attention to the instructions, for instance when programming the remote for TV use make sure you hold the TV button down while you enter the code and then press OK, You also have to hold the TV button down while you use the volume and channel controls or it will just change the VCR channel.

Changing Remote Control Code

This Remote is capable of transmitting two control codes; one set
to respond to A code control signals and another set to respond to
B code control signals. This Remote control is preset to send A
code signals because your VCR is initially set to respond to A code
signals. You can easily modify your VCR and the Remote to
respond to B code signals. When using two JVC VCRs, set two
VCRs and their Remotes to different codes, so that you can
operate these VCRs separately.

A
Set remote control code for Remote

A
Press and hold A/B.
B
Press the Number key .2..
C
Press OK, and release A/B.


.
The Remote now can transmit B code control signals.
B
Check remote control code for VCR

Press and hold 4
on the VCR for more than 5 seconds while the
VCR is turned off. The code currently set appears on the display
panel.

C
Change code for VCR

Press any key on the Remote. The VCR now responds to B code
control signals.

Sounds like the TV needs to be re-set thru the menu by auto-detecting the channels and remembering them.

What kind of tv do you have?

Do you just mean to select channels, or do you need to have it search for active channels (programming mode)? If just select channels, then most remotes have channel up & down buttons, in addition to the number pad. To select by numbers, use 2 digits: 04, 06, 08, 10, 22 and so forth.

If the set needs to be placed in the setup or autoprogram mode to search for active channels, then the menu functions must be used.

You may be able to find an online manual on Orion's website. Use your TV model number.
