I got an universal remote control and i dont know the code to connect it to the tv and turn the volume down , where could i find the code ?

you need the original remote or try different codes on your universal

Most TVs have controls on the side of the TV to operate power, volume and channels, if the power button puts it to standby then use the Chanel up or down to turn it on! Depending on the universal remote being used just select the code relevant to the make of TV you are connecting to!

Find codes and methods here.

If those codes dont work try the last three(or four) numbers of your TV's serial number.

On my universal remote is just a matter of holding down the TV button till the light stays on, then punching in the three digit TV code. When the TV turns off it's the right code. But read your manual for your controller.

panasonic

please follow the steps below:

TV
RED + SELECT
TV
0051

try the volume if this works then press SELECT to save the code. If not then press TV again then the volume. repeat this step until the volume works then press the SELECT button to save the code.

I found that this website should have all the codes and instructions for most remotes
http://www.xdiv.com/remotes/
or http://www.remote-codes.com/
if this helps please give a fixya rating as thats how we get paid.

Hello mommy,
If you purchased the One-for-All universal remote (model URC4220) the remote code for a Proscan TV is either 0047 or 0747. The instruction booklet also has a section called ''Troubleshooting", which gives specific instructions on how to correct the problems you are having with volume and channel selection.
If you did not purchase the remote control listed above, please tell me the brand name and model number of your remote. I also need to know if it is a universal remote or not.
Hope this info helps you out. Please take a moment, whenever possible, to rate this solution, by using the rating system below.
Thanks.

press and hold Tv VCR or DVD wait until the red light turns on then press power. Now press channel up or down until the the device turns on if you press it again while the device is on you'll have to do it again. After that hit OK then test it by pressing the volume button

I would start by trying other codes on the universal remote. Sometimes codes will only work part of the remote such as the numbers or channels but not volume. Your motorola cable remote sounds like it may only need a good cleaning. sometimes when you take remotes apart it will look like somthing got spilt in it. I would start there first.

PaulTulsa is actually incorrect, Directv remotes do allow this function. I had this problem too... but was able to fix it. You have to go back into the system settings menu. Depending on your receiver (I have the hr21-100) press "Menu" then scroll to "Parental, Fav's & Setup" then "Sytem Setup" then "Remote" then select "Program Remote". Scroll to "TV" then select the brand name (I also have a Samsun tv). Follow the directions to change the code of the remote and manually go through the codes they have posted. The second one worked for me. Good luck.

true most all the new lcd panels use a new code that no remote has.
about all you will be able to find is the on/off code if you scan for it.
