Remote won't work-- Sylvania 19-in

Hi,
1. Your TV has a high failure rate with the IR module. When this goes bad no remote will work with your TV. If you still have your OEM remote try testing it to see if it is transmitting a signal. Instructions below.
2. Many universal will not work your model TV. I suggest getting an OEM remote. You ca purchase from link below. SYLVANIA NE139UD TV Remote Control How To Test My Remote Control ReplacementRemotes com

I also can't find the remote for my Sylvania
TV/VCR/DVD combo...
Model number 6719DF. I don't normally use this tv
(it's an extra spare that I plug into our generator when
the power goes out... since our regular family TV is
quite big and set into the wall making it difficult to
track cords around, I drag this crappy Sylvania down
from our dining room to our family room) I did
happen to find an old Zenith universal remote that
does work with it in some ways (See directions
below). I can turn the TV on and off, set the channels,
language, clock.. etc through the Input select button
on the universal remote but can't set to "Game Mode"
after using connections with video/audio input cords
plugged into the front panel of the TV. So
Playstations, extra dvd players or vcr's, etc won't
work.
Switching from the VCR to DVD and vice versa does
require manually setting the tv itself (remote doesn't
work with that) but at least I can set sub titles, fast
forward through chapters on Dvd's and control the
volume, etc without having to constantly walk over to
the tv.
Programming the remote: I've noticed a lot of people
have tried using codes supplied by different universal
remote providers and couldn't find a code that
worked using their lists with this particular model...
there is a way that it can be done but it's a bit more
time consuming:
Many types of "universal" remotes give the option of
"scanning" the electronic device for a code if one is
not available or the one provided with lists does not
work... Every universal remote though needs certain
buttons pushed during the "scan" and they are all
different! Ha! So if you lost or misplaced the MANUAL
as well (like me!) you might need to do a search on a
manual for your particular universal remote, but I can
at least give you directions on programming a
"Zenith" Universal remote to "scan" for a Sylvania
TV/DVD/VCR combo model 6719DF:
Using the Zenith Universal Remote or any Universal Remote using it's "scan" method:
1: Shut off the TV
2. Press and hold "Code Search" on the remote until
the red LED
light lights up and stays lit.
3. Press the device button for the device (In my case,
for my crappy Sylvania combo, I pressed "TV".)
The LED light will blink once.
4. Scanning: Slowly press and release the "Power"
button on the remote, waiting a few seconds between
while watching the TV to turn on. It's very important
that you pause in between because if you do it too fast
and the TV turns on before you press the power
button again... you'll have to start all over. I've
learned that lesson.
It took 160 presses each time on that button to get the
correct code scanned! I had to do it over 3 times
before I stopped myself beforehand because I was
pressing it too quickly..
5. Right after the TV power turns on, press the "Mute"
button on the remote to set the code. It should work with few limitations (no "game" mode)
after that.

Hi,

I can t give you any specific codes as they will be different for each remote. However, if you have tried all the codes for Sylvania, then also try codes for the following brands. All of the brands in this list are made by Funai who also manufacture the Sylvania LD195SL8:

Funai
Emerson
Durabrand
Symphonic
Superscan

Try codes for the above brands and also try the code search features on your universal remotes. You will find details of these in the user manuals. If neither the codes for Sylvania or the above brands or the code search feature work, then it's unlikely that the remotes will work with the TV. Universal remotes often fail to work with Sylvania machines for no apparent reason.

well, i got a one for all remote from a wal mart or some where else, and i have a sylvania tv. it works for my tv. might want to look into that. www.oneforall.com

Have you tried the search fuction,some of the remotes will search for a code that works.

Who the hell builds a TV w/o a AUX or video button on the TV.... i hate this darn sylvania...

It sounds more like a problem with the TV, than the remotes. It's possible that the IR reciever or microprocessor for it have pooped out. It's something that would have to be serviced by a shop, but due to the age and size it would likely be cheaper to replace the whole TV.

The infred receiver inside the tv is bad

try the codes for the sylvania vcr
