Universal Remote not working

I just bought a Philips Universal remote. I have gone through 4 different Universal remotes previously and none will work. Today as I was trying to get my TV code setup on the Philips remote, it stopped at the appropriate code and I pressed "Mute" as it instructed to save the code to the remote. It doesn't work. When I try to change channels or the volume it doesn't work. The remote is a Philips Universal Remote for 6 devices, PH63S. My tv is a Magnavox 27MS343S 27" TV . Any ideas? It is also not working for my brand-new DVD/VCR combo.

With nearly all brands of universal remote control, there is usually more than one code for Philips. Keep going through the codes until you find one that works correctly.

So if you know that the 1st code doesn't work, then don't save it, and move to the next.

You may find that several codes will actually put the TV into standby, but other functions will be different.

Philips universal code search for older electrohome tv

Me thinks IF you tried the 'code search' function and none worked, I sincerely doubt if any other 'codes' will marry your Philips Remote to your electrohome TV.

This is because your "SEARCH" effort already went through ALL of the possible codes THAT Philips Remote knows and can deliver. It is also possible that a different MODEL of Philips Remote MAY stumble on codes that DO work!

IF you have a 'original' remote, SOME NEWER remotes can LEARN the proper codes from the original remote! BUT you NEED that original remote to send the desired IR data pulses to the smart student remote.

And GOD ~ those TV's are SO OLD, did they even HAVE remotes??
