My TV set power button does not work. Can I program it using my remote control without having to turn it on first?

http://www.remotecentral.com codes for all remotes

On blu ray remote control hold down TV Power+01 at the same time. If the TV turns off the controller is programmed. If not, try TV Power+02, +03, +04, +05, +06, +07, +08, +09. Different TV BRAND??? ...TRY http://remotes.com/remotes/documents/Samsung/AK59-00104K.pdf

Try this as most remote controls work the same when manual setting.
Here you go. This will work with most all universal remote controls. If you don't have the code do the following:
Automatic Programming
With automatic programming, the remote control tests all the codes available on the Code List and assigns the correct code for the selected device. Although this method can be more time-consuming, it eliminates the need to look up codes and enter them manually.

1. Turn off the device with which you want to use the remote control.

2. Press and hold the corresponding button on the remote control
(TV, VCR, SAT, DVD, CAB or AUD) until POWER INDICATOR illuminates. It should take a couple of seconds for the light to remain solid. The remote control is in programming mode.

3. Press and release power button. The POWER INDICATOR flashes once and stays on indicating the unit is in Power Scan mode.

4. Press CHANNEL up or CHANNEL down repeatedly until the device turns on.

5. When the device turns on, press OK to store the code.

Note:
• To exit without storing the code, press BACK.
• T he unit will search for the next code or the previous code if you press
CHANNEL up or CHANNEL down after the device turns on. (go slow you need to press OK when the TV turns on) if you mess up turn TV off and start over.
6. Press any other button. If the device responds, the remote control has been programmed. If the device does not respond, repeat steps 2-5.

a universal remote control is programmable without codes using this general process:

• push and hold 3 sec the button set up
• select the device to control (TV DVD etc)

The tv has to be ON at this step (use the power button in the tv front panel

• use the remote control power button and try to get your tv pushing the button again and again and again
• Caution! Go slow because when finally the tv turns on you have to push enter in the remote control to save this code that actually is the one the tv needs,

without knowing the brand of the tv i have to give you generic instructions on how to program the remote without knowing the codes:

1. Turn your tv on manually
2. on the remote press TV once
3. Press and hold the set button until the LED red light blinks twice, then release the set button
4. enter 9-9-1. the led will blink twice
5. aim the remote at the tv and slowly alternate between pressing POWER and TV. Stop when the TV turns off after pressing power.
6. lock in the code by pressing and releasing the set button. the led will blink twice.
