I GOT THIS FROM THE RCA WEBSITE...IT WORKED FOR ME...THE CRUCIAL STEP IS TO KEEP PRESSING THE REVERSE BUTTON DON'T JUST PRESS IT ONCE LIKE A LOT OF SITES SAY TO DO. I HAD TO PRESS IT A FEW TIMES, AND THEN IT TURNED THE TV BACK ON AND THE REMOTE WORKED!!! MY REMOTE WAS THE RCA RCR312W...TV IS AN OLDER ORION- TURN ON THE COMPONENT (THE TV, DVD, ETC)
- HOLD THE TV (OR DVD) BUTTON AND THE ON/OFF BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME. IT WILL STAY LIT.
- PRESS THE PLAY BUTTON EVERY FIVE SECONDS until the component turns off.
- Each time the Play button is pressed, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks ten times and a block of 10 codes is sent to your component. This process continues until all the codes in the Code Lists have been searched. If the component has not turned off after all codes have been searched, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks four times, turns off, and the Auto Code Search Entry method is exited.
- When the component turns off, press and release the REVERSE button, then wait two seconds to see if the component turns on again.
- If the component does not respond, continue to press the REVERSE button EVERY TWO SECONDS UNTIL THE COMPONENT TURNS ON again. This will isolate the correct code in the last block of codes sent. Each time the REVERSE button is pressed, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks.
- If the REVERSE button is accidentally pressed after the component responds, press and release the FORWARD button. Wait two seconds to see if the component turns off again.
- To save the new code, press and release the STOP button.
- The illuminated ON-OFF button turns off. You must press the STOP button to save the code.
I was having trouble getting a Universal Remote to work with the ILO V23DLWX (26" LCD). Eventually I got it to work with a Logitech Harmony. Those remotes are programmed through USB on your computer, so Logitech is able to update their database with new models. The thing even controlled my air conditioner. You just put in the model number of the device and it does the rest. By the way iLO's are horrible and even if you can get a remote to work eventually the power supply will go and it is near impossible to reach a human at that company.
