Cannot program Dish Universal Remote for Emerson TV

We got our parents an Emerson TV LC320EM8 for Christmas. The only problem is that the Dish Network Universal Remote will not recognize any of the codes provided in the book. Any suggestions of codes or ways to program the remote so they don't have to have two remotes lying around?

    Hi, Bhuffman! I bought the LC320EM8 today and am having the same problem. I have an electronics degree and nothing gets past me. My local Dish Network provider says I need to sign up for another 18 month contract, which gets me new equipment and remotes; I've seen this dirty sales trick done before. The new remotes Dish Network has won't program a new digital tv any better than the old remotes. For now, until Dish Network or DirecTV convert to ALL DIGITAL and Hi-Def, I believe we're stuck using two remotes. In a few months (hopefully) some satellite provider will have real digital capabilities and compatability and connectivity for convenient and user friendly operation.

    I have the same problem with the Emerson LC320EM8A. Bought one for my parents for Christmas who are 87 years old and they need two remotes to operate the living room set. The Panasonic in the kitchen works fine. I've called Emerson and gotten codes for other makers and tried all of those and I've recently gone on line with Directv to get more codes some which I have already tried but there are some new ones that I haven't tried yet.

    I have the same problem with a Emerson LCD 32" digital tv I bought at Walmart. I cannot program the universal remote (I control) to operate the tv's volume and on/off switch. None of the codes work.

    I just purchased the same TV and have the same problem using a verizon fios remote. I've tried every code several times and cannot get it to work. Does this TV simply have a remote code that's out of range?

    We have the same problem, we just purchased a television (Emerson LC320EM9 ) at Wal-mart and called Dish network. We went over all of their code numbers and the remote still wont work. We need to figure out something because the silly television is already installed high up on our wall.

    Same problem here. Called DISH and they gave me some extra codes which also didn't work. Per technician at Dish, they update codes daily. Suggested trying periodically.

This worked for me. I had to scan down quite a few times but eventually my tv turned off and I set the code with the # button. It may work for you too and save you some money on a UR.

http://www.satellite-tv-planet.com/DishNetworkRemoteControlProgramming.htm
Scan For Device Codes If the code for the device you are programming is not listed in the user manual or on this site, try these steps to scan the remote controls memory for device codes.

1) Turn the power on the device on

2) Select and hold the mode button for which you are programming, such as the TV button, on the remote until you see all the lights of the mode buttons flash. Once you let go, that mode button that you chose should now be blinking. When using the Aux mode button only use the number pad to enter 0 for a second TV, 1 for a second VCR/DVD, 2 for a amplifier, tuner, or cable box. Then press the STAR (*) button.

3) Press the power button on the Dish Network remote control.

4) Repeatedly press the UP or DOWN button on the remote to scan for the correct code (do this slowly so you do not skip over the right code for your device). When the correct code is reached the device will turn off.

5) Press the POUND (#) button to store the code in the Dish Network remote.

6) Press the power button to turn the device back on and try using other buttons on the remote to make sure that they also work. Sometimes the power button will work while others may not.

I had the same issue. I purchased a Logitech Harmony 520 at Walmart and voila everything works. It's the slickest device I have seen. Setup by PC software it easily allows remote key customization. Highly recommended.

I also ran into this problem, the installation guy gave up on the code search. however, the universal remote idea saved me, and got rid of alot of remote clutter. i purchased a "sony rm-vl610" universal learning remote from target for $30, and recommend it highly.

Lost remote for emerson lc320em8 32 in. lcd tv, how can i adjust the screen mode to get full screen without the remote?

Hello
It is immpossible to set its screen resolution or screen size, without it remote control. Try to get one original remote control, from the authorised service center for Emerson at your town, or buy a universal remote control, which have setup codes for Emerson TV with it. OK.

I have a 19" Emerson combination TV/DVD model LD195 EMX.
Since purchasing it I have been unable to program my Dish Network remote. Can't seem to find the proper code. Can you tell my what code or codes will work? Dish provides a list in a code book that accompanies their remote, but so far none seem to work. Please, HELP if you can.

Emerson TV LC320EMXF Remote code for Direc TV

I got the same TV for my stepdaughter and had the same problem. None of the Emerson codes worked. We use Dish Network but I did the autoscan thing on the remote and found that it was 672 which is listed as a Sylvania. I don't know if it will help in your case but maybe try the Sylvania codes. Good luck.
