Lost original remote, how can I replace it?This problem has been with me for almost a full year. My girlfriend has a TEAC TV Model CT-M5929STC. During burglary all portable stuff like DVD, cordless phone, VCR and ALL remotes were stolen. Her TV is ok, was too heavy. But without the remote the TV is almost unusable and here is why: 1) TEAC cannot supply a replacement 2) There are almost no front controls on the TV. 3) All so-called universal remotes that I tried have no TEAC TV codes listed. 4) Spending hours trying to locate the code by some auto- find methode didn't work either. 5) For learning remotes to work you must have the original to teach with. Please forgive the cross-postings and reply to alt.video.dvd.tech only Max. >My girlfriend has a TEAC TV Model CT-M5929STC.

I wonder if they piggybacked on someone elses code. Try a universal remote
and go through the ON/OFF incremtal code check and see if ANY code wakes it up.

You press Menu once for brightness adjustment using separate Up and Down buttons. You press Menu twice for contrast adjustment using separate Up and Down buttons. And you press Menu thrice for contrast adjustment using separate Up and Down buttons. None of the universal remotes I have seen can do that. Thanks anyway, Ken. Max.

I would think that's a response of the TV to a sequence of commands, not a response of the remote. But I *was* wrong once before about something :-) -- Gene E.

Sometimes (mostly for popular things such as Sony) they have codes you can add to a remote, or even reference from a button, if they're buried in the remote somewhere: http://xi6.com/remotes/ http://www.oneforall-int.com/comfiles/flashnew.html http://www.hifi-remote.com/ofa/ http://www.remotecentral.com/ And more...
