You need a remote control with the PIP function.
It's interesting you brought this up, because I was just about to discuss
the fact that many remotes lack critical functions. For example, I've
never
found a universal remote that accesses the fancy features of my Toshiba
CZ-3299K. (Indeed, none of them support the 0 button!) It appears this is
because Toshiba failed or refused to supply these codes to Sony, GE, etc.
I will be contacting Toshiba shortly.
Good luck finding the remote you need. You probably won't.
How easy would it be to do something like the following for these too common
situations
IR detector reading the shrouded output of the non-universal remote, set up
with one of the main operational codes for the kit in question.
Gate out the function coding, leaving the ident code and gate in a fully
variable
pre-settable pulse sequence instead.
Buffer and output the recombination to another IR diode until you hit on a
functional auxiliary code and save that on a learing "universal" remote.
