Codes for radio shack family favorites 4-in-one remote

We have a older Hitachi cable ready tv. Some time ago we lost the remote and ourchased a R.S. family favorites 4-in-one remote. We immediatly found the old remote.
Now that remote has broken so we want to program the newer remote.
We have lost the code sheet in a move.
THE OTHER PROBLEM IS: my computer is not wanting to read the PDF versions. so it can't translate to me what the codes are.
I would just appreciate the codes and I'll figure it from there.
Thanks ahead of time.
If it helps any back of the new remote says...remote control catalog
no. 15-2142

SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE
If your device does not respond to the remote after
trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your
brand is not listed, try searching for your code. For
example, to search for a code for your TV:
1. Press TV once.
2. Press and hold P until the red LED blinks
twice, then release.
3. Enter 9 9 1. The LED blinks twice.
4. Aim the remote at the TV and press Power.
The remote sends IR codes from its library to
the selected device, starting with the most
popular code first.
5. If the TV responds, go to step 6. If the TV
does not respond, press CH+. The remote will
try the next code. Continue until the TV
responds.
NOTE: Press CH- to try the previous code.
6. To lock in the code, press P once. The LED
blinks twice.
7. To search for other device codes, repeat steps
1 to 6, substituting the appropriate device
key.

Can someone help? I have a Curtis LCD3273A tv and a Radio Shack Family Favorites 4in1 universal remote. I can't find the code. The power button doesn't work on the tv. Please help. Thanks

One among it has general set-up codes to check with TVs and other devices are given, in the order of the 'device's brand name list' in alphabetical order. Pull up older posts.

Programming Notes
• If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed or your brand is not listed in the code list, use the Auto Code Search method to program your remote.
• Sometimes the first code that "works" with your device may operate only a few functions of your device. There may be another code in the code list that performs more functions. Try other codes from the code list for more functionality.
This is a trial and error procedure; and quiet time consuming. You might have to check different codes said for your device.
Search the site by type in the "brand name" to your device; in the "Search box at the top right of the display window of the Homepage" to get gathered related posts.
