3-Digit Code For Old TV
I have found this old (1990!!) TV that was sold by Montgomery Ward USA.
The brand on the TV is "Signature 2000". I also have an RCA digital TV converter box (the brand is "RCA DTA800") that comes with its remote. There is no specific part number on the RCA remote. I'm trying to pair up the RCA remote to the TV set. I tried the following 3-digit codes that I found online: 000, 001, 023, 083, 115. None of them work... Does anyone know what the 3-digit code is? -- tb |

Assuming that it does, the only option you have is to try all 999 codes that remote will take as it appears the remote does not have a "search" feature. |

Even if it is remote it might be too old.

There is no specific part number on the RCA remote. Look inside the battery compartment, sometimes there's a part number there. www.rcaaccessories.com is a good place to start looking, if it's an RCA universal remote. |

I'll give ya a +1 for both of these, in 1990 remote control sets were not entirely standard issue, especially on the lower end (which MW falls into) and trying all 999 codes might be the only way. No one has yet mentioned the ultrasonic or RF remote controls.... Jonesy |

I once tried all 999 codes on a Universal remote. NONE of them worked. I just wasted a lot of my time doing it. Some, if not most of them are not as "universal" as they claim to be. |

A tv repair guy told me about a mystery repair, where they were called in several times for a tv which was switching channels all the time. remote control was using sound. He finally found the reason for the errors. He saw a parrot opening its beak, each time the tv switched. The stupid bird imitated the sonic when he disliked the tv program.... Cure? Remove the bird..... |

Remove the bird..... You just triggered a long dormant memory. One of the tricks techs would do on the early ultrasonic remote receivers was to jingle their keys right at the TV's microphone. If the TV responded in any way, we'd just order a new transmitter. Of course, the old "impac" tuning fork "clickers" never quit entirely. Young guys could put the transmitter right against their ear and hear them work. Whether they were fundamental or harmonics they were hearing I don't know. |

The one you have was probably one made in Taiwan by an unknown television manufacturer. (I.E. Not Fulet, AOC or Sampo.) I would try NEC codes because some of these off brand sets used NEC ics. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
