Can't program the cable remote to operate it. None of the codes listed for AKAI have worked

Universal remote controls (like the one for your comcast cable box in which it allows you to control other devices) have "the most popular" IR codes programmed inside of it. When you type in the numbers "10812,10702, etc" you are telling the remote to use that particular IR code within its "database"
The key thing to know is that universal remotes do not have every code, just the most popular. If you have tried all of the codes listed in the manual for you model TV there's not much you can do.

• Try searching for a code. Some brand names, such as "Akai" may have other manufacturers parts inside of it, Searching usually is done by going through certain key-presses on the remote to try all of the codes available.
• Buy another Universal remote, not all remotes are created equal as some have mode IR codes built in than others, if you have an odd brand TV, it may be more difficult to come across one that works.
• Buy a learning universal remote, although usually more expensive these remotes will allow you to "learn" the IR codes from your old remote to the universal remote.

I hope this helps.

I recently bought a used LCT2060 that had no remote. I figured my comcast cable remote would work without a problem but it didn't. So 3 universal remotes later I found my solution...a radio shack universal gamer remote. It controls up to 5 components plus your xbox360, playstation and pc. The price on sale was a mere 12.97, not bad if you ask me. Hope this helped. The code that worked for the Akai was 11676. Take care...

You can try Funai and Emerson codes

Akai does not publish the remote codes. I had a tough time trying to get my akai LCT42 to work with another remote. I bought an universal remote URC R6 at walmart for $19. I can now operate the tv, u-verse cable box, panasonic surround all from this remote including menu's channel, volume, record with the dvr & more. I hope this helps..........

Good luck.

look in your guide and check the programming procedure for finding an unknown code. it's usually turn the tv on and go into a search mode on the remote and start hiting a button till the tv goes off and then you have just found the code. good luck.

Target sells a GE Universal Remote Control, 5 Device with learning feature. Its code for the Akai LCT3285TA is 1139.

Other remotes may use different codes, or have none that will control this TV.

I stumbled across this page while the owner's manual for my remote was lost. I've now found the manual (after not having any luck finding the solution on the web)!

The AKAI KC02-D2 remote operates my AKAI PDP42Z5TA 42" Plasma HD Television. It may work with others as well, but that's the TV I use it for. If the batteries are removed (or dead) for a while, it will lose its programming. Here's how to reprogram it.

AKAI = 231, 218, 221, 222, 225, 226, 227, 228

1. Turn on the Device you want to program. The remote can be programmed by pressing the 3 Digit Brand Code number listed in the code table of this programming guide. If multiple codes are listed, you may have to enter several codes to complete the steps below. (Note: For programming the VCR, a tape must be loaded/inserted first.) If your Brand is not listed, please use the Manual Search menthod or Auto Search method (Section C & D below).

2. Press and hold the SET button for about 3 seconds until the current Device LED lights (TV, VCR, DVD, STB.), then release the SET button.

3. Press the device button you want to program (TV, VCR, DVD, STB.) then the selected Device LED will light on.

4. Enter the 3 Digit Brand Code for the desired Device. For example, enter "2" "1" "8" for AKAI TV. When entering each digit, the Device LED will flash one time. After all 3 digit numbers are entered, the Device LED will turn off. If the code is not valid, the Device LED will flash three times then turn off. Check the code list and repeat from the above step 2.

(*The manual contains a huge list of 3-digit codes for various devices. If you're looking for a specific one, just ask.)

Akai support 216-454-0864 .I have the same problem and called the support phone. The answer is this TV came without a code programmed in it.

I have an Akai 42"lct & had the same problem. I bought an universal remote URC R6 at walmart for $19. I can now control the tv, u-vrerse cable, panasonic surround system & still have the aux open. You must use the "learn" method but I can control channels, volume, record, menues for all devices as well as setup, record for dvr & more. I hope this helps.........
