Combination TV/VCR will not work from original remote.

My original remote for my Combination TV/VCR will not work. A couple of the buttons were real sluggish, so I bought a new, "universal" remote, which I did not like at all. It was too frustrating trying to "code in" the numbers, and then punch the channel up button until the oode was entereed. So, I decided to go back to my original remote, only now NONE of the buttons will work!! I have to manually push the controls on my television for anything to happen. Can anyone help me????

To Nezro123: Thank you for your solution. I appreciate your comments. How do I "strip" my remote? Never heard of that. I somehow don't think that that will help, though, because most of the buttons worked before I put in the numbers from the new remote. That tells me that there was nothing wrong with those buttons before. Just the ones that were not working. However, I will try what you suggested.

To nezro123: Thank you for your reply. By the term "sluggish" I mean that when I tried a couple of the buttons on the remote, they either took a long time to respond, or I could not get them to respond at all. That's why I tried to use the "universal" remote. And I think that by entering new commands and numbers, I wiped out the original code. So now I have to either go back and complete the new remote commands (which are SO frustrating!) or find out how to re-establish
the "code" for my original remote. Make sense?

Try stripping your old remote and cleaning it, i find cleaning the contacts on the pcb and the buttons themselves with aftershave is the best

when i say strip the remote i mean pull it apart, they are usually just held together by clips inside, if you squeeze the bottom half you can use your finger nail to prize them apart, a bit tricky but thats the way, check firstly that theres no screws hiding anywhere (look in the battery compartment),
could you please clarify what you mean by sluggish, if its what i think you mean then a good cleaning of the contacts and the buttons should sort the problem out,
hope this is of some help to you

We don't have a remote for the tv-vcr the model is mv13l3

The remote is listed as in stock here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/Toshiba-Parts/Television-Parts/BZ614201/0057/528/Model-MV13L3/1100/0333300?keySuffixId=NA&productTypeId=x&searchModelNumber=MV13L3&subCompDesc=Cabinet%20parts&brandDesc=TOSHIBA&modelDesc=COLOR-TV/VCR&blt=11 . Remotes.com also has the original remote: http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=Search&o=c&uid=0&m=MV13L3&uuid=12990337541060 .

There are also many universal remotes that will work. Just make sure to research and make sure you select a model that has codes for combination TV/VCR units. Many manuals and code lists are available online from their manufacturer. There are some remotes that do not handle combination units.

RCA remote documentation is available here: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/ . One for All remotes have their documentation here: http://www.oneforall.com/ .

I hope this helps.

Acessing Menu with universal remote

We used a One4All model URC3021BOO remote. We programmed BOTH the TV function and the DVD/vcr button with code 0807. To access the menu PRESS TV then MENU button then DVD/VCR button will allow you to change menu functions using left and right and select buttons. *TV button will access Menu screen BUT NO menu functions. * DVD/VCR button will NOT access menu screen but WILL control menu functions if menu is already displayed. May work with other sharp products, or other universal remotes? These original (RRMCG1330PESA) remotes run 38.00+ to buy new so try this FIRST!

Hi Iam trying to program a universal remote control to my sansuni tv vcr dvd combo but haven't had any sucess. I have tried to do it with several different universal remote but none of the codes seem to...

How old are the remotes relative to the TV in question? If the remotes are older than the TV or were programmed within 6 months of this TV being released, then the code you need wasn't included in the remote's programming. In addition, unfortunately, many universal remotes do not work on combination TVs (with the DVD player and VCR built-in).

You can try to search through all the codes for the remote if your remotes have that feature. (On RCA remotes, turn on the TV, press and hold the Code Search button until the indicator light comes on, then press and release the TV button. Then press the On/Off button repeatedly until the TV turns off. Press Enter and see if the other functions of the remote work. If they do not, repeat the search. Then do the same but press the DVD and VCR buttons instead of the TV button.)

More likely you need a newer universal remote, a programmable (via computer USB) universal remote or a substitute remote from the manufacturer. See http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=gmi&uuid=12845952409830&smodel=TDC2075&brand_pn=SANSUI_TDC2075 for an exact substitute remote that will replace the original remote.

I hope this helps.

I ran into a very similar problem with a TV that I had that did not have a TV/VCR button on it. You HAD to have a remote to change it and the remote for the TV had been LONG lost. The solution was to go to Target or Walmart, and pick up a cheap universal remote. Make sure that the universal remote has a TV/VCR button on it and when you get the right code plugged into the remote it will function just like the original remote.

Im sorry but you can't without the original remote. If you want to consider getting the remote go to http://www.remote.com or maybe you can borrow one from a freind or a local store that sells Emerson will let you borrow one. Good Luck
