New User Needs Remote Code for Sylvania TV

[BRD65]

I know there are a lot of threads out there seeking remote codes for Sylvania/Funai TVs.  Here is another one.  My TV was manufactured in 2008 or 2009 -- a 22 inch model called the LC225SL9.  Just got U-Verse last weekend.  Newest version of standard remote control.  I have tried all of the codes in the list for Sylvania and Funai -- no luck.  Also saw a thread saying to try 1464 and 1141.  No luck.  Ideas?  Do any universal remotes work with the U-V STB?  This is frustrating.  Thanks for any help for this new user.

BRD65 - If you tried the codes listed, that would be all there is. You could try the search process or check help on the TV.

The Logitech Harmony line supports U-verse & your TV. Here is why it is good -

BRD65 - I should have mentioned in my first post. If you only need two (stb,TV) or three(stb,tv,dvd) devices yo can get the Logitech Harmony model 200 for only $20 at Radio Shack.

So the 200 will work with any of the U-Verse boxes?  I have the newest DVR with one other standard box (not the new wireless one).  If the 200 will work with all of the U-Verse boxes without much loss of function, I will probably buy at least one (and maybe two) of them.  If I buy only one, it will be to control the Sylvania TV, a Panasonic smart Blu-Ray player, and the non-DVR U-Verse box.  I believe the other U-Verse remote can control all of the components in the living room (a Vizio TV, a Sony smart Blu-Ray, and the DVR).

searched the threads for my Sony BRP (BDP-S580) and discovered that the U-Verse remote also does not support it either. So maybe I will end up getting two Harmony 200s...

Didn't see this thread before I tried to get one of these TVs to work with a Comcast Silver remote ... and failed.

If your TV (Sylvania, Symphonic, Funai, etc.) remote looks like this:

... it won't work with any of the Uverse or cable remotes (Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, Bright House, Cablevision...). Funai has proprietary coding used with those TVs.

But ... file this away for future use ... you CAN get a replacement for about $12-13 on Amazon. Or, *hint hint* get one now just in case, before they end up being a relic. Unless one of those Harmony models can do everything the OEM one can, and you've got one of those.

Hi BRD65 - Do you have a model number for a TV that goes with that remote?
Here is where it tells if the Harmony supports it -

Yes, that is exactly the same unit.  Believe it or not, I checked the database of supported remotes at Logitech's Harmony website, and the Harmony remotes supposedly will work all functions of that remote, and my Blu-ray player's remote, and the U-verse box remote too.  Also operates the TV and Blu-ray in my living room and my U-Verse DVR.  So I ordered two of them on Amazon last night.
