Philips hts3440/37 i need to know a remote that works good with it i got it from a friend and i think its stuck on 2.1

Hi,

Yes, it might need reprogramming. Please let us know the complete model number of the remote control so that we can provide you with the link to download the programming code list.

Kindly reply with the details. Thanks for using FixYa.

I helped a friend choose this TV at WalMart. Since I know of the remote issues with Directv, etc., I recommended that he get the Philips 6 in 1 Learning remote for $20. The learning part is the key. I believe it is so new that all stores may not have it yet. It is not on the web site. I have used the Philips learning remotes with 100% success. Give it a try, you can always return the remote (but I believe it will work).

Me thinks IF you tried the 'code search' function and none worked, I sincerely doubt if any other 'codes' will marry your Philips Remote to your electrohome TV.

This is because your "SEARCH" effort already went through ALL of the possible codes THAT Philips Remote knows and can deliver. It is also possible that a different MODEL of Philips Remote MAY stumble on codes that DO work!

IF you have a 'original' remote, SOME NEWER remotes can LEARN the proper codes from the original remote! BUT you NEED that original remote to send the desired IR data pulses to the smart student remote.

And GOD ~ those TV's are SO OLD, did they even HAVE remotes??

Hello!


Just curious... have you contacted Philips to *ask kindly* for a replacement remote? They have hooked me up in the past. If you have no luck with the US numbers, or get a bunch of idiots on the phone who won't help you out, (or people in Mumbai that you can't understand clearly) call the UK number.

If you're in the UK, I have no effing idea how to dial these numbers, but here's the website:

Good luck, let me know what happens so we can help other people in the future!

Call a geeky friend

I was unable to locate your specific model using the information you provided however here is a link to the Philips website.
http://www.support.philips.com/support/html/index_us_en.html
They have a diagram to identify exactly which numbers they need to identify the appropriate manual. From there it should be a simple download to get the information you need.

I hope this helps, good luck!

I had this problem on a symphonic 27 inch TV I just bought from a friend who no longer had a remote.What I did was bought a universal remote (a specific one that someone told me about) for 8 bucks at walmart and I was then able to switch to game mode with the Input select on the remote. The remote I bought that actually worked is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Magnavox-PM435S-4-Device-Universal/dp/B00006686A/ref=acc_glance_ce_ai_-2_1_tit/002-3174824-8273629
Make sure you look at it before you buy it and make sure it has a button that specifically says "input" on it. I know that some of the universal remotes don't have an input select button or one that doesn't work. As long as you get a Philips-Magnavox that has that button, you should be ok. Much better solution that paying 30 bucks for a new remote specifically for the TV. Hope this helps.
