[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 79548"][b]Universal Remote Codes for Sansonic FT-300A DTV Box[/b] Having said that, here's how to get the sansonic working with a universal remote: There are some obscure postings claiming Toshiba TV codes work... Initially, I couldn't get those codes to work until I tried a slightly newer (but still very old) DirecTV remote (white top, dark gray bottom, orange select button and 4 buttons colored red, green, yellow and blue from left to right under the back, menu and info buttons). Enter TV programming mode by sliding the switch all the way right to the TV position, then hit MUTE and SELECT simultaneously until the TV light (grn) blinks twice. Now enter 1-0-8-4-5. The light will blink again. Now point the remote to the sansonic DTV box an press POWER on the remote, and SLEEP should happen. At least the volume, channel select and power buttons work -- maybe more, I haven't tried them all. Getting an autoscan started would be nice -- anyone else?? Turns out other remotes work too -- they all have the "845" portion of the code in common -- some are 10845, or 00845, or 0845, etc. Apparently, the first remote I tried to use was one code shy of the 845 code because it was just a bit older than the first TV Toshiba released with the 0845 unicode. ipb68[/QUOTE]
