Philips tube tv: Volume up does not work.

You can program a 3rd party remote control but you need to access the menu using the original remote.....can you borrow one?

Here is the link to the instructions: Apple TV Using third party remote control

There are a number of different codes for each TV, pick the one that works best for example these are for magnavox, but since I don't know the model no of your remote they might not be correct for yours! 0441, 0442, 0447, 0599, 0799, 0699, 0247, 0193, 0093, 0598

Does the action stop if you cover the end of the remote? Is the remote a 3rd party remote? May just keed the keypad ckeaning

The Philips remote is set to "push trough" the volume/mute to the TV for devices that typically don't have a volume function. Older versions of Philips remote used to allow you to select the device to push volume to, but for some reason this is no longer available (or at least I haven't found out how to). So here is the solution I used.

Teach (learning function) the remote to use whatever device you like for volume/mute.

1, Press the button for the device you would like to change
2. Hold down "learn" and the button you want to teach ex. "volume up" until the red light comes on
3. Place the original remote of the device you would like to change the volume on 5-10 cm away from your Philips remote and press "volume up" for this example
4. Repeat these steps for the "volume down" and "mute" buttons
5. Repeat these steps for other devices you would like to "push through" volume/mute to a device other than TV

Hope this helps others. I did find that some devices like SAT may not allow you to change the volume/mute, but otherwise this workaround does the trick.

The volume is on the tv not the dvd player, use the tv remote.

Check your owners manual for instructions to program your remote(you didn't list a model number so I can't give you step by step instructions.) If that doesn't work, you have 2 options. 1) Contact your TV manufacturer for help. 3) Purchase a 3rd party remote that works with your tv.

Either press menu on the Philips remote and go to autoprogram, or (if you have lost the remote), press volume - and channel - at the same time. When menu appears, use channel - to select autoprogram and volume - to select it.

SOLVED!!!! Make hard reset of the remote control:
1. Five seconds Mute & Menu buttons 2. Press Select untill four lights comes up, exept TV 3. Press OK That's it! Get your remote control as a new :)

Press the Vol up and down buttons on tv until it turns off than turn the tv on just like the photo.

I would start by trying other codes on the universal remote. Sometimes codes will only work part of the remote such as the numbers or channels but not volume. Your motorola cable remote sounds like it may only need a good cleaning. sometimes when you take remotes apart it will look like somthing got spilt in it. I would start there first.
