I do not have remote...how do i search channels from vcr

hopefully you have a menu button on your TV, if so you should be able to access auto program (you might have to search to find the auto search)but before you auto program make sure you set your TV to a cable setting then auto program. If you do not have a menu button on the TV, you could also try buying a universal remote. If you don't want to do that you could always use a VCR, just set your TV on channel 3 and do a auto program on the VCR ,using the VCR remote you should be able to tune in the channels your missing through the VCR.

These are generic code search instructions for Phillips/Magnavox
Programing with Code Search

1. Manually turn on (TV,VCR,etc.) to be controlled.
2. Press and hold Code Search button until red indicator stays on.
Release the Code Search button.
3. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.).
The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
4. Press the Channel Up button repeatedly ( up to 300 times )
until the device to be controlled changes channel.
The red indicator blinks, then stays lit. If you accidentally
overshoot the code required, press the Channel Down button to
backtrack through the library until the device changes channel.
Pressing Channel Up changes direction to forward again.
Press and release the Mute button to install the code.
If the device you are installing does not have a Channel Up button
use Play(VCR only) or Power, on all other devices.

Great News!! We can program most Philips Universal Remotes with Automatic Code Searh. Here's how it works on most of our remotes.

Programming with Code Search

1. Manually turn on the device (TV, VCR, etc.) 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, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blink, then stays lit.

4. Press the Channel Up button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device could be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks, then stays lit. If you accidentally overshoot the code required, press the Channel Down button to backtrack through the library until the device changes channel. Pressing Channel Up changes direction to forward again. Press and release the Mute button to install the code.

The above assumes that you want to store the VCR you want under the VCR but, Cable codes under the CBL, etc

Note: if the device does not have a chat channel at a button, you should Play (VCR only) or Power instead.

Here is a Code List on PDF that shoud be universal for most remotes. It worked for me.

Hope this helps you out, good luck.

most universals will use this method.
