Beggars can't be Choosers
Passing a house when the resident was putting a broken vcr in the bin.
She gave it to me instead. 20 minute repair job but now stuffed without a dedicated remote control it would seem. Goodmans VN9500S, a universal remote just controls the same transport functions as on the front of the m/c. Stuck in on-screen menu mode to alter output modulation frequency which stays altered in memory via remote even after powering down but always starts again in this menu mode. I cannot close the menu to enable Record even with Scart and active function switching pin. Any ideas as can only use as play-only machine , or fork out 17 GBP/35 USD just to close down the menu function ? -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

Years ago... with an IR LED pulsed by a PC port.
You can probably dig up software with a web search, but you'd still have to figure out the code. n cook wrote: Anyone ever monitored machine specific IR pulse train and then generated fudged missing codes ? |

I found a couple of the remotes on Ebay.Co.Uk, but also noiced one of the auction mentioned the Goodmans remote also worked with Daewoo vcr's. Maybe you could try the Daewoo codes with your remote? |

The brand is not on One For All's vast device list-you'r SOL for
universal remotes. Unless, of course, it's actually manufactured by some other brand. If so, One For All remotes have a 'learn' function for devices that might just come up with a usable string. $10 to find out...
