Programmed a RCA universal remote (using auto code search function) to operate my toshiba dvd/vcr SD-V392 but the menu button doesn't work. all other buttons work.
Sometimes you can enter a code that will work nearly all the buttons, but is not the correct code for your DVD player. You should try other codes. But sometimes a universal remote will NOT work every function.
thanks for advice, its the vcr not dvd i'm having problems with. i tried again going through the auto search codes using the one digit brand number to narrow the field. i tried 11 codes and they all gave the same functions --but still no menu. the 11th code actually removed some of the functions i had.. i've tried to re-program remote to at least get back the functions i lost but it isn't happening! i tried removing batteries for a few minutes, turning vcr off and on manually, and nothing.
If you are having problems with it see if you find the "factory default" setting. That should clear anything caused be the new remote! I would suggest a hunt around for an original remote as generally universals are never as good unless you pay lots of money for one. You can also try the Toshiba website they might be able to get you a new remote.
i finally tried the auto code search again and got previous remote functions back -- still no menu. i checked toshiba website but this remote isn\'t listed. i guess vcr\'s are a thing of the past. i don\'t want to buy used because it could go bad at any time. mine only lasted 4 years (whereas my 7 year old panasonic vcr remote was still going strong.) my 2009 RCA universal remote menu button works but other functions don\'t, so i guess i\'ll be using both remotes plus timer record button on original toshiba remote. maybe it\'s time to get a dvr recorder! thanks for your help and merry christmas.

This is not a solution it is more a test for your remote. Take a cell phone that takes pictures. Start the picture mode on your phone and point the remote at the camera part of the phone and push a button on the remote. If remote is working you will see it light up on the phone screen. This will let you know if the remote is operating.
