full directions:

4. enter 1
5. press and release VOL UP
6. point the remote at the tv and keep pressing and releasing the CH UP key, if and when the volume changes

Do a code search method as follows.

1. Manually turn on the device (TV, VCR, etc.) to be controlled.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks once, then stays on.
4. Press the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
5. Press and release MUTE to install the code. The indicator light goes off.

Most users will want to store VCR codes under the VCR button, Cable codes under CBL, etc. If you want to store a VCR code under CBL, etc., first follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry and press CBL in step 2 of Direct Code Entry, then enter ANY VCR code in step 3 of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps above for Code Search.

Unfortunately, the JVC LP21036-038 remote can only control JVC devices. It doesn't have any adjustable codes. You can choose between 3 codes (A, B, and C) so that using 3 JVC video devices doesn't result in conflicts. This remote came with the JVC HR-XVC14BU among other devices. The manual for the VCR/DVD player is available from JVC support. The direct link to the manual is http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/00/00/90/LPT1148-001A.pdf . See page 17 of the manual for the details.

I'd recommend you get a cheap universal remote to control the Samsung TV and the JVC vcr/dvd player.

I wish that I had better news for you.

Manually turn of the device the user wish to power scan (TV,PVR,DVD,VCR etc.
For more than 3 seconds press and hold the appropriate device key. The LED comes On, indicating that the remote is in programming mode.
Press and release the Power key. The LED blinks once and stays on, indication that the Remote is in power scan state.
Press CH up or CH down key repeatedly untill the device switches ON.
When the devise turn ON, press and release the SELECT key to program the remote with the new code and exit.

There is no code for polaroid tv's for that remote so you will have to do a PowerScan through all the codes to see which one will work. The procedure to do this is below.

Step 1: Manually turn off the device you wish to program (TV, VCR, DVD)

Step 2: Press and hold the appropriate device key (TV, VCR, DVD) until the red LED illuminates. This indicates that the remote is in programming mode.

Step 3: Press and release the power button. The LED flashes once and stays ON. Indicating that the remote is in PowerScan mode.

Step 4: Press either CH+ or CH- button repeatedly until the device switches on. The CH+ button searches upward in the code list while the CH- button searches downward.

Step 5: When the device turns on, press and release the OK button to store the new code and exit.
NOTE: If you press the CH+ or CH- again after the device turns on, the device will not be programmed and you will need to repeat steps 1 - 5.

Step 6: Press any other operable button (VOL+ or VOL-). If the device responds, no further programming is required. If the device does not respond then repeat steps 1 - 5.

If you try scanning through all the codes and none of them work then the remote is not campatible with your tv.

Hi, i could tell you what code you need to program the remote if tell me what brand tv you have. If not you can try PowerScan through all the codes to see which one will work. Procedure is described below.

Step 1: Manually turn off the device you wish to program (TV, VCR, DVD)

Step 2: Press and hold the appropriate device key (TV, VCR, DVD) until the red LED illuminates. This indicates that the remote is in programming mode.

Step 3: Press and release the power button. The LED flashes once and stays ON. Indicating that the remote is in PowerScan mode.

Step 4: Press either CH+ or CH- button repeatedly until the device switches on. The CH+ button searches upward in the code list while the CH- button searches downward.

Step 5: When the device turns on, press and release the OK button to store the new code and exit.
NOTE: If you press the CH+ or CH- again after the device turns on, the device will not be programmed and you will need to repeat steps 1 - 5.

Step 6: Press any other operable button (VOL+ or VOL-). If the device responds, no further programming is required. If the device does not respond then repeat steps 1 - 5.

your device, try one of the
other codes for your

indicator flashes rapidly for 3 seconds.

Hope this helps!

Apparently I didn't read the directions for code search closely enough (as it does work for my tv). So I will post them here, just to be sure people don't make the same mistake I did.

With the Device on;
1) Press "TV" on the remote control
2) Press and Hold the "Setup" button until the light blinks twice
3) Enter "9" "9" "1" to enter code search mode on the remote
4) Press the the "CH+" slowly until your TV turns off (if you accidently go to far your can press "CH-" to go back a code or two)
5) Press the "Setup" key to lock in the code, the light should blink twice if done correctly

Your device is now programmed, enjoy!

Barring the right codes to make this thing work, I have resorted to running the numbers (ie 000 thru 999) to "stumble" across the right combination...accordianman
