Why doesn't remote control turn TV on or off?

0182 0173 0133

The instructions on letting the Hipi remote to seach for the code that came with my remote are not correct. I used the instructions from HOWTO.COM and printed below. There are two changes from the printed instructions. The first is to push the <TV> button after the <Code Search> button. The second is that the <Enter> button saved the code not the <MUTE> button.

Instructions
1
Turn on the Vizio TV.
2
Aim the Jumbo Universal Remote at the Vizio TV and hold down the "Code Search" button on the remove for roughly 3 to 5 seconds. The LED lights on the Jumbo Universal Remote will come on.
3
Press the "TV" button at the top of the Jumbo Universal Remote.
4
Start pressing the "ON/OFF" button repeatedly until the Vizio TV turns off. (This took only a few tries for my Vizio TV)
5
Press "Enter" on the remote immediately after the Vizio TV turns off to save the code.
6
Test the Jumbo Universal Remote by trying to control the Vizio TV with the remote. If the control doesn't work with the remote, repeat the entire process.

Do you have fresh batteries in the remote? You did not provide your TV brand so I can't provide you the codes for your specific TV. Below I have provided instructions on how to perform a power scan. If this doesn't work, you may need a new remote.

• Remote: Basic Remote (Television Only)
  1. Turn the Television On.
  2. Press and hold the clear TV button for three seconds until the LED flashes.
  3. Press and release the redTV Power button.
  4. Press and release the Up or Down Arrow on the remote until the television turns off.
  5. After the television turns off, press and release the # button.
  6. Test functionality with the TV.
  7. Return to Step 2 if the remote is not able to turn the TV On/Off, change the volume and mute the television.

There are two types of GE universal remotes. Does your remote use the 4-digit code or the 3-digit code?

These codes listed below are not for combination TVs (TV/VCR, or TV/DVD). If you have a combination tv, see the appropriate code list here: http://www.jascoproducts.com/support/universal-remote-codes.asp .

The 3 digit codes for Panasonic TVs are 003, 054, 055, 062, 070, 148, 149, 170, 171, 374, 381, 437 . If you have an LCD or Plasma Panasonic only try 170.

The 4 digit codes to try for Panasonic TVs are 1182, 0171, 0148, 0054, 0170, 0062, 0374, 0381, 0437, 0950, 0003, 0070 .

Next to program the remote: Turn on the TV manually. Press and hold the Code Search or Setup button (depending on your remote). Hold the button until the indicator light comes on and then release it. Then press and release the TV button. Type in the first code for your remote and TV combination. The indicator light should go off. Then point the remote at the TV and see if the TV turns off. If it doesn't, repeat the above steps. Once you have a code that seems to work, check if the remote controls all of the functions that you need (based on the available buttons on the remote). If you have a code that turns off the TV but doesn't control other functions, continue trying other codes.

There is an option to search through all of the codes of the remote to program the remote. Press and hold the Code Search or Setup button. Release the button when the indicator light comes on. Then press and release the TV button. Now press and release the Power button on the remote repeatedly and wait until the TV turns off. Do this slowly (pressing the Power button every 2 seconds). When the TV turns off, press Enter on the remote to save the code. Then test the remote. If the remote doesn't control all the functions of the TV that you want it to, then repeat the search.

Please note that the codes in most universal remotes are limited to those for devices released 6 months or more before the remote was programmed. If your remote is older than your TV, then you may need a new remote.

I hope this helps.

HERE'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM:

The possible reason why your TV doesn't respond to your remote is probably the battery of your remote. Maybe it has been used up to it's fullest capacity, so try checking it up. In case, it has been used up, try to buy a new one.

The possible reason why your TV doesn't stay on is still your remote control. Maybe you have accidentally set it to "sleep mode." When it is set into sleep mode, it turns on just for a shorter time. It cannot stay on longer.

So, here's what you've got to do. Check your remote. When the remote works already, press the sleep button remote again. I hope it works for you.

Thanks.

Which GE universal remote do you have? Does the remote use a 3-digit or a 4-digit code? To program most GE remotes for a TV, turn on the TV. Then press and hold the Code Search or Setup button until the indicator light comes on. Then press and release the TV button. Enter the first code available for your device. The indicator light should go off then check if the remote controls the functions of the TV. Repeat the above steps if the code doesn't work or doesn't control all the features of your TV.

The manuals and code lists for GE remotes are here: http://www.jascoproducts.com/support/universal-remote-codes.asp .

Toshiba 4-digit TV codes are: 0159 0178 0109 0120 0181
.............0105 0049 0095 0170 0260 0358
.............0394 0924 0012 0095 0117 0141
The 3-digit codes are 170, 181 or 641 for Toshiba HDTVs.

Please note that the remote probably only has codes for devices that were released 6 months or more before the remote was programmed. If your TV is newer than your GE universal remote, you may need a newer remote.

I hope this helps.

Hello
Your RCA remote universal remote control model number is RCA RCU300T; I thinks and poste this solution to you.
Codes for RCA tv with this remote control are:
000, 003, 004, 005, 027, 045, 077, 089, 090, 094

In order for the 3 component universal remote to control

your TV, you must program it with the TV code that matches

your TV. These instructions explain the preferred method of
programming the remote-the Direct Entry method.

1* Manually turn on the TV.

2* Locate the enclosed TV Code List.

Find your brand of TV.

3* Press and release the TV key. The
indicator light blinks and then remains lit

4* Use the number keys to enter

the first code listed for your brand.

After you enter a valid three-digit

code, the indicator light turns off.

Note: If you enter an invalid code,

the LED will flash rapidly for 2
seconds. Start over at step 3.

5* Aim the remote at your TV and press

the ON•OFF key. If your TV turns
off, you have found the correct code

6* Enter the code in the box provided
on this page for future reference

7* If your TV doesn't turn off, repeat

steps 3-6 above, entering the next
code for your brand.
OK

A remote is not designed to control and Moitor. They only run by the video/sound output from the pc. So I am taking it for granted that you meant TV instead of Monitor.

A. Before buying a new remote try replacing the batteries first.

B. I found the Innovage Jumbo Remote Control manual and it has no code for the Vizio TV, you will need to utilize the remote's "Code Search" option.

C. Instructions

1. Turn on the Vizio TV.
2. Aim the Jumbo Universal Remote at the Vizio TV and hold down the "Code Search" button on the remove for roughly 3 to 5 seconds. The LED lights on the Jumbo Universal Remote will come on.
3. Press the "TV" button at the top of the Jumbo Universal Remote.
4. Start pressing the "ON/OFF" button repeatedly until the Vizio TV turns off. This will likely take several minutes due to the amount of available codes.
5. Press "Enter" on the remote immediately after the Vizio TV turns off to save the code.
6. Test the Jumbo Universal Remote by trying to control the Vizio TV with the remote. If the control doesn't work with the remote, repeat the entire process.

Good luck.
