Sky remote code for JVC GM-P420E

Hi

The correct code (or whether there is a code at all) depends on which version of the Sky remote you are using. The version number of the remote can be found on a sticker inside the battery compartment. If you have "RC1600/00" "Rev 4" or "Rev 6" on the sticker, then it's unlikely that it will work with your TV, but please read on as this isn't always true.

If you have a "Rev 8" remote then it's more likely to work with your TV, however, according to Sky, you will need to buy the new "Rev 9" Sky remote:

If buying one, be sure to check the button for the "Rev 9" version ( £0.85).

The actual code for your TV model is: 0718

I suggest you try the above code regardless of which version of Sky remote you have as Sky's information is not always accurate. You can also try these generic codes for Philips TVs:

0584, 0266, 0065, 0749, 1679, 0199, 0679

Again, try these with whichever version of the Sky remote you are using. There is a good chance that one of them will operate the volume and power functions on your TV. If none of the above codes work, then you will probably need to buy a Rev 9 remote.

Hope this helps. Please post back if you need further assistance.

No.Not a good idea etheir to buy a universal remote control's.Most of the times like 80 to 90% of the times universal remotes dose not have all the functions like the original remote.Try website like Remotes.com to buy an original remote or very close to the original remote.

Firstly you may need to identify which version of remote control you have, versions that are dated pre 2002 may not operate the more modern TV's and a new remote control will be needed To see which version you have, open the battery cover on the back of the Sky remote and look at the text on the sticker it will state ‘Sky rev’ (or Sky+ rev or Sky HD rev), followed by a number, such as 4, 6 or 8. This number indicates the version of your Remote Control.
Version 4: May 2001 (Sky+ introduced)
Codes are 0065, or 0405,or 0037
Version 6: March 2004
Code are 0065, or 0405, or 0037
Version 8: January 2006 (includes all current Sky+HD remote controls)
Code are 1293, or 1206, or 0206
Programming the remote control
To control your TV firstly switch on the TV set, point the Sky remote at the TV, press the "TV" button on the Sky remote, then press and hold the "Select" and "Red" buttons together until the red light at the top of the Sky remote control flashes twice. Enter the code for the TV listings above (Use the 4 digit codes), the red light will flash twice if a valid code has been entered. Press the standby button on the Sky remote control, this should switch the TV set off, if so then press the "Select" button to store the settings. You should now be able to switch the TV back on and use the volume control button from your Sky remote.
If the TV did not switch off then it may require a different code, you can either start again using one of the alternative Direct codes above or continue with this process by continuously pressing "TV" then "Standy" then "TV" then "Standby" etc until the TV set switches off. This will provide a manual scan for variations within that product code

I contacted JVC professional to find out the model number for my JVC GM-V42E. Once you have the model number, contact JVC and order a new one or google the product number and try using websites that are dedicated to providing remote controls, I was able to get one from avukltd.com a little cheaper and more quickly than JVC said they would have the product in stock.
I also found the remote control product number on the bottom of the plasma screen.

switch to sky on tv and press interactive on sky remote then move down to sky customer service (select) once screen has loaded move down to programe your remote you will need model number and make of tv press select and then enter the make of tv by moving down list once found select and repeat for model then follow on screen instructions

press intreactive on sky remote move down to sky costomer service press select then move down to program remote ( 5 ) you will need make ( lg ) and model number of tv then follow on screen instructions
hope this helps

Here is a mount rated for your size TV http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/518312-REG/Bentley_PLAW_6000FB_PLAW_6000FB_32_60_Flat_Panel.html

Also, be VERY careful mounting ANY plasma above a fireplace. Plasma sets are typically convection cooled to avoid the noise of fans. The heat from a fireplace will GREATLY reduce the life of the set. When people I know insist on putting a set above a fireplace I usually insist they install a cooling fan with ducting that will vent fresh air to the set. If you are concerned about the temp of your set simply consult the owners manual for operating temperature and measure the air above the fireplace yourself. BHphotovideo.com typically has good prices on mounts along with amazon. most other places like bestbuy or circuitcity will stick you on the price of the mount because they make their money from accessories. Also, why did your last set die? plasmas are typically rateed for 10+ years, did yours over heat and start to change colors?

Does it have a buffer board? If so, check the IC burnt on the buffer board. If bad, replace the buffer board. Check the flexible connector exactly below or above the black line. Is it inserted correctly? Does it have an IC on the flexible cable? Is it brunt? If so, you need a panel. If the buffer board is OK, then you will need a panel

hi

i have here some writeups i found during surfing for your sky remote.

Not every TV is included in the code list. In fact, although it was claimed that "95 percent" of TVs could be controlled by the Digibox remote, the true figure is probably "95 percent of last year's models" and the standard remote will NOT control your Video Recorder or any other equipment.
UPDATE October 31, 2006. The latest versions of the remotes are SKY Rev.8 and SKY+ remote are Rev.6 and Sky-HD are Rev.8 (Sky-HD also operates the SKY+ Digibox and contains codes for more recent Plasma and TFT screens). Look at label inside the battery compartment. These remotes contain codes for more recent TV sets and omit codes for TV sets that are now several years old. We do not stock earlier revisions.


seems here that they may have no codes for your tv.
i will just update you if ever i find codes and ill post it here.

the problem is with the micro processor on the back of the fx-1169a board (gm-p420ug) this is the board the inputs connect to . yours may be a diffrent p/n due to yours bein a "e" extention model. to repair this problem you need to remove the processor from the socket, remove the socket from the board and solder the processor onto the board. the processor is ic002 on the back side the problem is thermal in nature due to cold solder joints on the socket. i have fixed this problem many times by using this method.
