Default DTA Remote Code for Philips Magnavox TV/VCR Combo

Hi,

I installed 2 DTA's today but I can't get the remote to control the Philips Magnavox TV/VCR combo unit. This tv was made in 1999 and should be replaced but it still works fine. I tried all the Philips codes and all the Magnavox codes and none of them worked. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks -

Paul

Try the codes from here: http://www.remotecodelist.com/remote...vox_PM525S.pdf for Magnavox TV's and VCR's. One of them should do it.

No, those don't work. I should be more clear...

I installed the Comcast DTA for the changeover to the new digital cable. The DTA is now the tuner for my TV and has a remote associated with it. The TV in question is the Philips Magnavox TV/VCR combination. So I am trying to get the Comcast remote control to work the TV/VCR power and volume. The codes are 5 digit codes. I tried all of the Philips codes and Magnavox codes that came with the remote but none of them worked.

Thanks - Paul

No. I tried searching for VCR codes but they all begin with the number 2. The Comcast codes all begin with the number 1. When I enter the first digit 2 it seems to stop the code entry sequence. The digits beyond the 2 make the remote transmit keystrokes instead of saving the code. So 2 series numbers are not accepted by the remote.

Is it possible that it just can't be done?
