No Power I tried to turn my set on tonight with the remote, and when it didn't turn right on I hit the power button a few more times, figuring maybe my batteries were low. When it didn't work, I went over to the TV and pushed the power button on the set. As I did that, I realized the blue standby button was blinking. It stopped when I pushed the power button. That's when it dawned on me that that standby light is always on and never blinked before. Now it's not on at all and the TV won't turn on. It worked perfectly fine earlier today, it's just all of a sudden I get nothing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Press the power button and the button for the device to be programmed, holding them down until the red light comes on. Release the buttons at the same time. Pointing the remote at the device to be programmed (while the device is on), press the PLAY button. The red light will flash 10 times as it Foss through ten codes. If the device turns off, press the REWIND button once every few second until it turns back on. As soon as it turns on, press the STOP button. You May have to go through several sets of the ten codes to get to the right one. Press the play button after each set of ten if you haven't had tor device turn off. After you have the device coded, hit the device button, then power, to make sure you have it programmed. Good luck. I just had to do this myself. I had memorized how to do it, threw away the manual, then forgot. I couldn't find any help online, so I played with it until I figured it out.

Push the "menu" button on your remote
Tab over to the "time" menu
check all the settings in there, turn of the sleep timer etc...

Try a factory reset
Push the "menu" button on your remote and go to settings, scroll down and push reset.

I hope this helps

Press and hold TV, then OK at the same time. Let go of TV and OK, top buttons should quickly blink red then stop press the code 1019 then hit the bottom right button marked ENTER or OPTIONS
Remote should now work with tv.
To control volume and power at the same time... Press and hold STB and OK at the same time, let go, red blinking up top enter the code 977 STB should blink red a few times.
Hit STB, see if TV volume adjusts Hit POWER. see if both STB (Set Top Box) turns off and TV turns off.
All should be good.
If both TV and STB do not turn on/off, repeat the process for the code where you enter 977

Try disconnecting the power (completely) for a few minutes. Maybe that will cause a reset of the faulty function.

On your remote you will find a setup botton and what i want you to do is hit set up then hit the tv botton and hit channal up and do that untell it turns off your tv are the channal if that works it tv botton again and your remote will work other wise in the back of your remote it well tell you a code number and go on line to philips and they will give your your codes for you.

You can just try programming the remote with the Sharp codes they list in the instructions until you find the one that works. Follow the procedure for entering a code and try it. When you find the right one it will turn the set on when you hit the power button. The remote's instructions tell you to turn the set on to make finding the code easier (when the set shuts off you know you found the right one), but you can work without it.

I had the same problem, after searching the net for 2 hours to no avail, I got lucky and figured it out. Hold down the Ent and 0 keys at the same time for about 4 seconds. The green LED will come on. Enter the code of your TV or electronic and hit enter. then hit the power button on the remote. If the code was right the electronic will turn off.

To set the time:
Hit the SET Wake/Time Button closest to the CD player until the clock face appears in the bottom left hand of the display.

Use the TRACK Rev Search Fwd Arrows to adjust the time.
Rev will decrease by minutes and Fwd will increase by minutes.

Hope this helps.

OK EVERYONE I FOUND ALL YOUR ANSWERS , IM JOHN FROM NEW JERSEY [email protected] , FOR THE TRISONIC UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL , TC-RC488 AND MAYBE OTHERS , INSTEAD OF THE CODES THIS IS EASIER,TURN ON THE TV OR VCR ETC. FOR THE POWER MUST BE ON WHILE DOING THIS PROCEDURE , PRESS THE YELLOW SET UP BUTTON AND THE DEVICE KEY U WANT SUCH AS TV1 OR VCR1 AND HOLD THEM BOTH DOWN UNTIL THE RED LIGHT ON UR REMOTE STAYS ON THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIT THE YELLOW SETUP BUTTON AGAIN UNTIL UR RED LIGHT STARTS BLINKING THEN POINT THE REMOTE AT YOUR TV OR VCR AND KEEP HITTING THE RED POWER BUTTON AS THEN YOUR REMOTE IS TRYING TO FIND A CODE AND WILL EVENTUALLY FIND A CODE , AND YOUR TV OR VCR WILL SHUT OFF , THEN THE RED LIGHT WILL BLINK LET IT BLINK UNTIL IT GOES TOTALLY OFF, THEN HIT THE POWER BUTTON AND YOUR REMOTE SHOULD WORK , SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO HIT THE DEVICE KEY AND YELLOW SETUP KEY SEPARTELY AND THEN THE RED POWER BUTTON, I CALLED TRISONIC AND ACTUALLY HE HELPED ME AND I HELPED HIM , HE SAID I SHOULD WORK FOR TRISONIC , THIS IS A QUICK SEARCH , NOT REQUIRING ANY CODE NUMBERS, HOPE I HELPED YOU ALL SINCERELY , JOHN A.CLINE , CHECK OUT MY LIST OF LYRIC BOOKS AND MUSIC AT WORDCLAY.COM BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up untill a few years ago they used to make a lot of universals with a "learning" function, that you aim the thing at a certain device untill it figures out the right code for it. I read that the technology was bought since so you dont see those quite as often in the market. ok, if yours is a learning uni, here's a tutorial on how to fix it, in general terms since it varies between remotes: If you cannot get the instructions - most "universal" remotes have a "code search" feature. Usually this involves hitting the "program", "select" or "function" button, then pressing the device button ("TV", "VCR", "AUX") then repeatedly pressing the "power" or "channel up" button until the set responds. The remote will cycle through each of the codes (01, 02, 03, 04) sending the "power" command for each. When you hit the right code - the set responds. When the set responds, stop and then press the "program" or "function" button to enter it (which button varies between mfgrs). If you count the number of presses - that should be the code (12 presses is "12" or "012" - or it could be 11 if the codes start at 00). If you do not have a "program" button (it might be hidden), then you may have to instead hold the function (TV, VCR, Cable) button down for a few seconds (until the light blinks). The usual manual sequence is: 0 1 2 It might also be: 0 1 2 If no program button: 0 1 2 Some remotes use a two digit code, some use three. It'll take quite a bit of trial and error without the manual. you can try getting the codes from the manufacturer, go to their site and see if you can figure anything out there... good luck
