I have an old onyx tv which doesn't have a remote, I found a old universal remote I had lying around but it didn't have instructions, so I need a code to program it...could anybody help me please?

Hello
You are asking for universal remote codes for Sany I assumes, and posts this solution. Actually I didn't understand about your need. So I hereby send teh code list published by Sanyo. It doesn't contain any codes for TVs, at the email address you provided on your complaint post. Check and feel.
Five digit universal remote codes for Sanyo are:
10054, 10154, 10159, 11142 [codes with RCA RCR 312W universal remote control]
Three digit universal remote codes are:
004/ 013/ 049/ 108/ 110/ 180/ 209
four digit remote codes are:
0049 0097 0110 0004 0268 0012 0108 0180
OK.

The instructions on letting the Hipi remote to seach for the code that came with my remote are not correct. I used the instructions from HOWTO.COM and printed below. There are two changes from the printed instructions. The first is to push the <TV> button after the <Code Search> button. The second is that the <Enter> button saved the code not the <MUTE> button.

Instructions
1
Turn on the Vizio TV.
2
Aim the Jumbo Universal Remote at the Vizio TV and hold down the "Code Search" button on the remove for roughly 3 to 5 seconds. The LED lights on the Jumbo Universal Remote will come on.
3
Press the "TV" button at the top of the Jumbo Universal Remote.
4
Start pressing the "ON/OFF" button repeatedly until the Vizio TV turns off. (This took only a few tries for my Vizio TV)
5
Press "Enter" on the remote immediately after the Vizio TV turns off to save the code.
6
Test the Jumbo Universal Remote by trying to control the Vizio TV with the remote. If the control doesn't work with the remote, repeat the entire process.

A remote is not designed to control and Moitor. They only run by the video/sound output from the pc. So I am taking it for granted that you meant TV instead of Monitor.

A. Before buying a new remote try replacing the batteries first.

B. I found the Innovage Jumbo Remote Control manual and it has no code for the Vizio TV, you will need to utilize the remote's "Code Search" option.

C. Instructions

1. Turn on the Vizio TV.
2. Aim the Jumbo Universal Remote at the Vizio TV and hold down the "Code Search" button on the remove for roughly 3 to 5 seconds. The LED lights on the Jumbo Universal Remote will come on.
3. Press the "TV" button at the top of the Jumbo Universal Remote.
4. Start pressing the "ON/OFF" button repeatedly until the Vizio TV turns off. This will likely take several minutes due to the amount of available codes.
5. Press "Enter" on the remote immediately after the Vizio TV turns off to save the code.
6. Test the Jumbo Universal Remote by trying to control the Vizio TV with the remote. If the control doesn't work with the remote, repeat the entire process.

Good luck.

Have you tried your old remote on his tv? If that works then it isn't the remote but the sensor on your television. Just an idea.

I found a list of codes in my old Technics Hi-Fi system SADX940 that also work with this remote. So it seems the codes are universal, and even though some people claim that this remote cannot control Philips TVs because it is not a real "Universal Remote", it does. I held down the TV POWER button and entered code "06" and my old Philips TV responded with channel and volume settings - just the job. Hope it helps.

Here is a useful link that i found for you.
