Does it come with basic programming codes for tvs or is the IR remote only learning capable, so you have to have a working remote to train it?

You need a working IR Remote to program it. The programming is simple, but the number of buttons is limited. Buttons that are missing are Mute button, and the Exit button. You can program for up to 2 devices in it.

The learning feature allows almost any of the buttons to be programmed with the IR signal from the factory remote. Ours is set up so that the hard "guide" button controls the TV input from the main screen, so it's not necessary to navigate to the RF20's TV section first. It's very flexible and easy to use. Programming is actually very intuitive after reading the instructions.

The method to do so is in the manual. Have you gone through it? Is your TV make listed in the Remote Codes Table in the manual? Some TVs are also too old for the remote to have the proper code for them.

Mine worked out of the box for basic TV controls. It will possibly need to be programed to work with optional devices, not sure.

I just got the following universal remote from BB (but they have it hear at amazon as well) and it works perfectly with this tv:Sony RMVZ320 7-Device Universal Remote with Dual IR EmittersWhen I set the code, the third TCL code listed worked: 02429

No you will have to get a universal remote. I use the Logitec Harmony. There are tons of different Harmony models that range from $40-$300 but even the cheapest one will control every ir device you own. Also its super simple to setup and highly configurable because you just plug it into your computer. So with that you you don't have to spend all day looking up remote device codes.

There is a small hole on the side of the remote. You have to use a paperclip or something small to push the LEARN button. Once you push that button you can follow the instructions and program the remote. Just do as the instructions say once the LEARN buttons is pushed and it works great. Hope this helps. Tim

Mine worked as soon as I put batteries in - no programming required. My tv is a Vizio 55" E552VL.I know this is a no brainer, but I would just double check a few things - is your tv listed in the discription as being compatable with this remote? Do you have working batteries? Is the remote sensor clear from obstructions?If yes to all these, it might be they sent the wrong remote or that the remote is defective.Sorry, I wasn't too helpful - but I'm fairly certain that this remote comes pre-programmed to the tvs listed.

The remote provides a learning capability. If you have the existing remote you can transfer the codes to the new remote by learning each key from the old remote to a button on new remote. This only works with IR based remotes, RF based remotes are not supported.

I am pretty sure all of the lights have the same IR code. Because I have lost remotes and ordered new ones and they worked the same without programming. This company has excellent customer service you should just be able to email them and they will get back to you ASAP

If you have the Samsung remote just map it to the Vizio since it is a learning remote. That way you don't need to find a code.

If you have the original remote just use the LEARN feature. I had to do it for my Telus digital TV remote it uses proprietary codes.

I cant tell you exactly because I dont have the manual or remote in front of me. This is a learning remote, meaning you point the original remote at the phillips and it will program specific buttons to functions. Its great for the price. My only complaint is only the top lights up and not the entire remote.

It is IR (Infrared) remote and not RF. You can see the IR LED in the front of the remote. It will not work if you are not in the line of sight. But it is very sensitive and works even at an extreme angle. However, if it is completely blocked by say a door or you are not pointing at the switch then it will not work. Also, a learning remote can apparently learn the code though I have not tried it.

I was able to get it to learn codes from devices fairly easily. I had a Gefen HDMI switchbox it couldn't get though, but switchboxes are not listed as a device it can control like a DVD player and such.

Hi, This remote has a learning mode so that it can be programmed to replace remotes that don't have a specific manufacturer code available. I've used the learning function on three different remotes with no trouble. You need to have the old remote working to do this. The steps to "teach" the universal remote are very specific so have the user manual handy while you do it and take your time. Basically, you: - place the old and universal remotes so that they are pointing at each other, - put the universal remote into "learn" mode, - press the button on the universal remote where you want to store the command from the old remote and then - press the appropriate button on the old remote. The universal remote can decode the signal for that command from the old remote and store it in the button you selected. Make sure to finish the process by following the step to take the universal remote out of learn mode. Good luck!

it is a simple IR passthrough, so it works with any IR remote. no programing needed, the receiver captures the IR single from the remote and blast it out the transmitters. I am currently using it with a Uverse system and Sony Stereo that are in a closet near the TV. even works with the PS3 with a IR adapter. Doesn't work natively with the PS3 (bluetooth) or the Boxee Box (RF), but those are not line of site so no extender needed. one thing to look out for is the positioning of the transmitters. make sure no components are in the line of fire of the remote and the receivers. the two signals seem to cancel each other out. I have the extender receiver mounted under my TV, using a Harmony One remote. all other components are hidden away in a nearby closet. Just point the remote at the tv everything works.
