Remote control problem

Hello, I bought my elderly parents a Polaroid TV, (20")? or so with a DVD and VCR combo built in. Model# TBX2000AF Chassey# CN12DVR Anyway, my father seems to have dropped the remote too many times on the tile floor and needless to say it doesn't work anymore. I tried buying a Phillips Universal remote, but there is no code for the "trio", just TV or DVD/VCR machine separately. After calling Phillips they told me what I already found out in their instructions that their remote would not work on the Polaroid TV/DVD/VCR and I have had no luck getting hold of Polaroid. Before I buy multiple remotes and spend a lot of time on this, might you know what kind of universal remote will work on this TV? I hope you can help me, and if not I thank you for your time and consideration. If you could respond to the [email protected] address as well as this one, [email protected] I would appreciate it. Tracy

I also have a Polaroid.  I used my Direct TV remote and went under Mitsubishi and searched codes.  I channeled up until my TV powered off.  I then hit the Select button.  Then I tried to power the TV on with the Direct TV remote and it worked.  So, maybe it will work for everyone's.   Good luck.

Have you tried "One for All" universal remotes?

I just bought a polaroid dvd. i have the codes and such. but im not sure how to program it. so i need the instructions to set up the remote control to my dvd.

Hello
Here are the proceedings to setup your remote with other devices.

The One For All 3 Device Universal Remote Control is preprogrammed at

the factory to operate an RCA TV, a Toshiba DVD player, and a Motorola

cable box.To control devices other than the default brands,perform the following
steps; otherwise skip this section:

[1] Turn on a desired device (e.g.,VCR or DVD player) and, if

applicable, insert media (e.g., cassette or disc).

NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding.

Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program
before starting step 2.

[2] On the remote control,press a device key once (i.e., DVD/VCR,

CBL/SAT,or TV).

NOTE: To program control of a VCR, PVR (or DVR),TV/VCR Combo,

or TV/VCR/DVD Player Combo press DVD/VCR once.After programming

a VCR Combo device, you will be able to control channel selection,

volume, and VCR functions.

NOTE: To program control of a DVD Player,DVD Player/VCR

Combo, or TV/DVD Player Combo, press DVD/VCR once.After programming

a DVD Combo device, you will be able to control channel

selection, volume, and DVD functions.

NOTE: To program control of a Cable Box, Cable Box/PVR (or DVR)
Combo, Satellite Receiver, or a

Satellite Receiver/PVR (or DVR)
Combo, press CBL/SAT once.

[3] Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice,
then release SET.

[4] Use the Manufacturer's Codes (starting on page 18) to

locate the type of device and brand name and then enter

the first four-digit code for your device. If performed correctly,

the LED will blink twice.

NOTE: If the LED did not blink twice, repeat steps 2 through 4 and enter
the same code again.

[5] Aim the remote control at the device and press POWER

once.The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat

steps 2 through 5, trying each code for your brand until

you find one that works. If it still doesn't work, try

Searching For Your Code on next page.
NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key, press PLAY.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each device you want to control
OK

Magnavox 20MC4304 20" TV/DVD/VCR Combo Remote:

A universal remote should solve your problem. You should be able to find one on ebay. You may even be able to find one for your particular TV on ebay as well.
