Need channel access code but how will I enter it if I dont have the remote and i cant even program this universal remote

A universal remote can work with your TV, but whether it can access the menu depends on the specific model of both the TV and the universal remote. Universal remotes are designed to be compatible with a wide range of devices, including TVs, DVD players, audio systems, and more. However, not all universal remotes have the same features or compatibility with every function of a specific TV.
Here are the general steps to set up a universal remote with your TV and access the menu:

1. Check Compatibility:
   • Ensure that your universal remote is compatible with your TV model. The packaging or user manual of the universal remote should list compatible brands and models.
2. Find the TV Code:
   • Locate the code for your specific TV model in the documentation that came with the universal remote. The manual should include a list of codes for various TV brands.
3. Program the Universal Remote:
   • Follow the instructions in the universal remote's manual to program it for your TV. This usually involves entering a code that corresponds to your TV model.
4. Testing:
   • After programming, test the basic functions like power, volume, and channel to ensure that the universal remote is working with your TV.
5. Accessing the Menu:
   • Most universal remotes have a dedicated "Menu" button or a button labeled with a similar term. Press this button to access the menu on your TV.
   • If there isn't a specific "Menu" button, look for a button with an icon that resembles a list, settings, or options. Sometimes, these buttons serve the same purpose.
   • If you're unable to find a dedicated button, refer to the universal remote's manual for guidance on accessing the menu or adjusting settings.
6. Navigating the Menu:
   • Once you've accessed the menu, use the arrow buttons or navigation buttons on the remote to move through the menu options.
   • Some universal remotes may have an "OK" or "Enter" button that you can press to select a menu option.

there may be a problem with the tvs remote sensor. most universal remotes you dont even have to enter any codes you just have to follow the same steps to enter the code but instead of entering a code all you have to do is press the channel up button after following all other steps, just keep pressing up until it turns the channel on the tv then press enter or similar button after it changes the channel and this should lock in the code without entering a specific code.And if all other remotes only half the buttons work on if it happens with every universal remotes then it probably a problem with the remote sensor or the tv . Good luck too ya!!!

These are the steps on how to program your Universal Remote Control to your device even without the list of code.

1. Manually turn ON your device.
2. Press and "HOLD" CODE SEARCH
3. Press and release the device button you want to set up
4. Release CODE SEARCH.
5. Press OFF/ON repeatedly until the device turns off (you may have to press up to 100 times at a rate of once per second).
6. Once the device turns off, press and release ENTER.
7. With the device on, press any other button. If the device responds, no further programming is required. If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1-6.

With the remote you can enter a code twice to reset (see pg. 15 of the manual below). It's possible that you can program a universal remote to use the buttons needed to reprogram.

Here you go. This will work with most all universal remote controls. If you don't have the code do the following:
Automatic Programming
With automatic programming, the remote control tests all the codes available on the Code List and assigns the correct code for the selected device. Although this method can be more time-consuming, it eliminates the need to look up codes and enter them manually.

1. Turn off the device with which you want to use the remote control.

2. Press and hold the corresponding button on the remote control
(TV, VCR, SAT, DVD, CAB or AUD) until POWER INDICATOR illuminates. It should take a couple of seconds for the light to remain solid. The remote control is in programming mode.

3. Press and release power button. The POWER INDICATOR flashes once and stays on indicating the unit is in Power Scan mode.

4. Press CHANNEL up or CHANNEL down repeatedly until the device turns on.

5. When the device turns on, press OK to store the code.

Note:
• To exit without storing the code, press BACK.
• T he unit will search for the next code or the previous code if you press
CHANNEL up or CHANNEL down after the device turns on. (go slow you need to press OK when the TV turns on) if you mess up turn TV off and start over.
6. Press any other button. If the device responds, the remote control has been programmed. If the device does not respond, repeat steps 2-5.

You have to setup the tv with using the menu. The tv will need to ''autodetect'' the available channel before it can leave you access other channel. Otherwise you may generally ''force'' a channel by using the remote and entering the channel you wish to liste. (dont you lose the remote!!!) Then in case of major problem if you cant access and navigate in the menu without it, go buy the cheapest universal remote! Take the time and you'll find the trick!

Perhaps channel 4 is the only channel programmed? Try reprogramming your channels. Perhaps a universal remote would give you direct access to the channels. Your channel up or down won't work with only 1 channel programmed.

Dont worry about programming a universal remote for use with only one device like a Tv because after you program it. only a few functions like the basic functions of the remote will work. for example the "Power", channels keys, and volumn. you will not be able to make that remote work for any other features, like PIP, menu, aspect, input, etc. I suggest getting the original remote control. ReplacementRemotes.com usually has a suitible replacement or the original manufactures remote that comes with your TV.

try out this.mash and hold the set up button.when the indacator light bilnks ,press the item in which you want coded.turn that item on by hand,point to it with remote and mash the power button up to 300 times until the item turns off.then hit enter.do not go to to fast,if you over shoot the code you will have to start all over again.let me know if this works for you. halfbreed76. e-mail mckenithfamily @net zero.com
