Can this Sony RM-K1T remote be programmed to operate newer or other brands of TVs? If so, how do you program it? I now have a newer Samsung TV that I would like to use this remote for it.

You do not program the smart TV features in your remote, you use your remote to access and program those featurse on your TV via menus.

Set-up (Programming) procedure is too much to type in here, and is not practical and it will differ brand-to-brand remote controls. If you wish to get more; check the sites linked here. It has set-up code list & set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. One among it has general set-up codes to check with TVs and other devices are given, in the order of the 'device's brand name list' in alphabetical order. Pull up older posts. Search the sites by type in the brand name to your device in its search box at the top right part of the display window. It will help you to find the document easily.

It is possible that this remote will not program to your Comcast dvr. Your DVR is probably newer than the remote and has new codes that the remote doesn't support. The only thing you can do now, is either purchase a new universal remote that supports both units. or use your Comcast remote to program it to your TV. the Comcast remotes are programmable.

Sony remotes keep the same codes for all there tvs. It will run older as well as the newest tvs. Hope this helps.

this site will help you :http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-remote.pl?mdl=RMY180#. However this remote will operate only Sony TVs, so there are no instructions to program otherwise. Did you try pressing the TV button on the remote and/or changing the batteries?

The Sanyo TV codes are: 00154, 01142 .
Sony provides a code lookup page here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-remote.pl?mdl=RMVZ220 . The programming steps are also there.

Please note that universal remote codes are usually limited to those for devices released at least 6 months before the remote was programmed. If your TV is newer than the RM-V220, you may need a newer remote.

I hope this helps.

Programming Notes
• If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed or your brand is not listed in the code list, use the Auto Code Search method to program your remote.
• Sometimes the first code that "works" with your device may operate only a few functions of your device. There may be another code in the code list that performs more functions. Try other codes from the code list for more functionality.
This is a trial and error procedure; and quiet time consuming. You might have to check different codes said for your device.
Search the site by type in the "brand name" to your device; to which you want set-up codes; in the "Search box at the top right of the display window" to get gathered related posts.

The RM-U185 remote control is not programmable and remote codes are not required. This remote is designed to control the product that it originally came with. If the remote has buttons for other product types (TV, DVD, etc.), it can control only Sony branded versions of these products. Please note that this remote may not be able to control all models of these other Sony product types.
