Top 10 Orion1934 19" TV Questions & Answers

Do you have the original remote control?. Without it you will not be able to switch to video or to the TV mode. If you do have the Original remote hand unit, look for a button call input or video. A universal will not work so please do not waist your hard earnd cash. Good Luck

I found this on Bob Vilas website, it worked for my t.v. hope this helps someone else out-ttu821
"This will probably work for most Orion V-chips... I figured it out looking at another manufacturer's instructions, on my Orion it was:
* Turn the volume down to 0
* Change to a blocked channel (where it asks for V-Chip password)
* On the TV (not from the remote) hold the volume down button
* (While holding volume on TV) hold the '0' key on the remote for between 2-10 seconds...
* The screen should unlock, and you should save no V-Chip restrictions.
You can now use your manual to find out how to set the restrictions you want."

try these codes for the orion tv:0121,0135 or 0035. good luck

I had a bugger of a time trying to solve this exact same problem. I went through 3 universal remotes before I found a winner. Using the Jensen Surf Series SC-340 I managed to figure out the code for the vcr to be 687. This is not listed in the manual that I looked up for the remote, probably because the remote was made in 1997 while the tv/vcr is 1998. After trying the ~30 codes in the manual I set the remote to auto scan for the code. After 30min scanning for the tv code I switched over to scan for the vcr code. Three minutes later I get the code and that "Oh yeah. Who got this bad boy to work? You did! That's right!" kinda feeling. I hope this helps.

TLDR: I got a Jensen Surf Series SC-340 Universal Remote to work with the tvcr0950bw using the code 687 on the vcr.

Check to see that you don't have any channel locks or parental parental permission measures deployed. If so remove them, this includes V-Chip, and Parental lock out on the remote, and check your TVs menu items. What channel are being affected by this problem? Give channel number and channel type.

not worth buying a remote, you can use an rf converter or what i did was use an old DirecTV remote as i have several. on DTV remote, set selector switch located at top of remote all the way to the right to tv. Then hold down the select and mute button at the same time until the green light blinks 2 times, then enter one of these codes until the power button turns on the tv. Codes are as follows
10236 10463 11463 10179 11911
11929. Also verify that the tv input button does activate the aux channel. I knew these old remotes would come in handy some day.

i have a 29" sharp aphrody,when i turn on color is good after vfew minutes the red color fades

The code that worked for me was 135.
Other Orion codes are 035, 121
Four digit codes for newer remote models might be one of the folling.
0236, 0179, 0463
Good Luck!

Try these codes.

Turn on the TV, on the remote press TV, press and hold the SET button till it blinks once pauses,then blinks twice,release, then enter one of these codes,083,100,127,217, it will blink twice, then aim the remote at the TV and press the POWER button, the TV should turn off,if not , repeat the steps using a different code until you find the one that works the TV. ..hope this helps..
