CFT2790 Akai tv - I do not have a working controller - how can I program a new one?

YOU WILL STILL NEED TO PROGRAM THE NEW REMOTE FROM THE MANUAL THAT CAME WITH THE REMOTE. NORMALLY THIER ARE TWO WAYS TO PROGRAM A REMOTE EITHER MANUALLY OR TO DO IT AUTOMATICALLY. YES THE ORIGIONAL REMOTE IS ALREADY SET UP FOR YOUR MODEL OF TV BUT WITH THAT SAID TRY TO PROGRAM IT BY BOTH PARTS OF THE MANUAL. i AM USING A 55 INCH SMART TV AND HAVE DONE THIS AND ON OTHER SMART TV'S. ALSO YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE OF THE REMOTE THAT YOU PURCHASE AND LOOK FOR VIDEOS ON HOW TO SET IT UP. IF YOU NEED MORE HELP LET SOMEONE HERE KNOW. GOOD LUCK.

Hello there
YES !!!!
Do you simply HAVE to have UNIVERSAL Remote?
For this TV the correct remote is here for 10 American dollars. http://www.replacementremotes.com/AKAI/Buy-10111J-AA5910111J-TV-Remote-Control.html

On the other hand if you must have a universal remote, then it WILL work with remote code for Akai which is 002; See the instructions with the new Universal remote.

You can normally go to google and search for places that sale the parts you are looking for

may just need servicing, adjustment of the picture shape like parallel, etc service man can do it, its impossible for us to help.

or the high voltage is bad

No is there a link to Akai tv codes for remote programing?

Target sells a GE Universal Remote Control, 5 Device with learning feature. I can't say if it works with your Verizon DVR, but its code for the Akai LCT3285TA is 1139. If you have the Verizon's remote, you should be able to use the learning function to make the GE control it - that's if the GE doesn't have a built in code that will work for this DVR.

I think you should look over the Internet to buy one from places like Ebay for your brand of TV.

GE Universal remote only $12.00 at Target works on my Akai LCD HDTV, this remote also has learning capability but the third code under Akai worked!!!
