Remote control assistance

It should still be possible to use a universal remote to power on your TV.

Some universal remote instructions will say that the device has to be turned on in order to properly program the remote. This is not necessarily true, and you should still be able to use the universal remote to find a preset that will at least turn your TV on so you can then follow the instructions for the remote to find the exact preset that will work with every button on the remote.

First, look in the instruction booklet of the universal remote for the section of preset codes. It should be a huge list of 3-5 digit numbers with corresponding device names. There should be at least one or several for Philips devices. Find the code that matches your device.

Then, follow the instructions to program in that code. Should be something like: Hold down a certain button until the light on the remote blinks. Enter the code. Press another button to program the remote for that code. Keep in mind every universal remote is different and will have different steps to follow, but all generally work the same way.

At this point you'll want to just try the POWER button on the remote. If your TV turns on it means the code you entered is the correct code, or at least close to the right one. If it's not the exact correct code some of the other buttons won't work or will command your TV to do the wrong thing.

If your TV does not turn on with the first code you tried, you will need to program the remote with on of the other Philips codes. Just follow the same instructions you used to enter the first code and try another one from the list. Try the POWER button with each of the codes used until the TV turns on.

If none of the Philips codes work you will need to follow the universal remote's instructions to cycle through all of the codes (I have had to do this before). There should be another section of instructions that tell you how to do this. Again, try the POWER button for every code until the TV turns on. Once the TV is on, you will want to follow the instructions for the remote as normal to find the exact code preset that will work correctly with your TV.

If all else fails you might want to purchase a remote that is at least newer than the TV you are trying to operate because an older universal remote may not have the correct preset for a newer device.

I hope this helps! Good Luck!

Down load code list for your remote control and check.

According to the manual the iHome IP90 line does not have a programmable remote. Have you checked the battery in the remote? It requires a CR2025 battery. The remote also has a 30ft. range, not sure if you are trying it at a further distance.

In any case, first thing I would do is to get a replacement CR2025 battery and give that a shot. If that doesn't work then the remote might be defective.

The only thing that comes to mind is somehow the remote became unprogrammed. This happens with some factory remotes, if you reset the code for the remote it may start working again.

There are other times (both of these Ive had experience with) when the remote will just stop working due to a defect.

Post back for any further help, thank you for stopping by Fixya!
