The Sky remote control can work the basic functions of most (95 percent) of the TV sets in the UK. Simply enter the 4 digit code given for your model in the User Instructions. The handset will remember this for the life of the battery and also for up to five minutes during battery swapping. The Sky remote control was designed to work with most TV sets. If it cannot carry out the basic control functions (volume control, channel change, Teletext access etc.

No. The controls for the VCR show up on the Control Panel when VCR is selected from the Source Select Bar.

No. Because TV-B-Gone® remotes work by infra-red (IR) light, it won't go through walls, ceilings, people, or other objects.

Sometimes. Even though glass is transparent to visible light, not all glass is transparent to infra-red (IR) invisible light. TV-B-Gone®, like other remote controls, uses IR light, and so, it will go through some glass, and not others. Try it and see...

Try changing the distance between the remote control the HP-100 or the HP-100 and the device you want to control. Also try removing the plastic IR cover when recording and/or sending. IR is programmed to use 40KHz as the carrier frequency. There are some devices that use another frequency and therefore can not be controlled by IR.

Up-to-date design is important here. Some do offer the ancient versions They should be avoided. More about remote controls

We ensure that TV-B-Gone® remote controls can turn on and off as many TVs as possible. There may be some TVs that TV-B-Gone® will not work with, but TV-B-Gone® should be able to turn on and off virtually any remotely controlled TV.

Long answer: The minimum requirement for reproducing audio and video on DVD is an MPEG video stream and a PCM audio track. (Other streams such as Dolby Digital audio, MPEG audio, and subpicture are not necessary for the simplest case.) Basic DVD control codes are also needed. At the moment it's difficult in real time to encode the video and audio, combine them with DVD-V info, and write the whole thing to DVD. Even if you could do all this in a home recorder, it would be extremely expensive.

Everyone wants these to be TV's, but in most instances they are actually more closely related to the VCR. In a lot of models the only remote control that will satisfactorily work combo sets is the manufacturers original. In many cases even manufacturers that build their own TV's, have some other manufacturer build their TV/VCR combo's.

Most TV’s, especially LCD, DLP, or plasma, now have variable audio outputs that work really well with Audioengine speakers. Just connect the left and right audio out RCA jacks from your TV to the 3.5mm mini-jack input on the left speaker rear panel (we’ve included an RCA to 3.5mm “Y” cable). Set the volume knob on the left speaker front panel and then use your TV remote to control the Audioengine volume.

No, it will not. ProtecTV must be able to edit out the pre-selected swearword before it reaches the TV. This is not possible with the TV/VCR Combo units.

No. Well, that's not entirely true. If you would like to sit within 12 inches of your device you would be able to remote control devices assuming you had the proper software. The problem is that the UX50 does not include a high power infrared transmitter that can be used to control home theatre systems, etc. so even if you found software compatible with the UX50 you would not be able to control anything from more than a foot or two away.

Yes! All TV-B-Gone® remote controls come with batteries installed. These batteries are small, light weight coin-cells (so don't look for heavy triple-A batteries).

For most people, the batteries in your TV-B-Gone® remote will last from 3 months to a year (though, of course, the more you use it, the quicker the batteries will need to be replaced).

From our reserach we found we could put in two 2032 batteries instead (one in the B1 position and one in the B2 position), which are bigger, longer lasting and almost the same price. So we will be putting these in the new models and recommend it when replacing the batteries in all TV-B-Gone models.
