Theory

[TechGeek]

If Funai OEMs a lot of major TV brands(Magnavox, RCA(if they still make TVs to this day), and Vestel(maybe they OEM their own TVs)), shouldn't they all be programmable to work on the same remote? Or do they reprogram the IR chip to use a slightly different IR code set for each brand of TV?

Just a theory.

Its plausible, because the same samsung factory remote i have powers every samsung tv I had here.

If you buy the universal remote and then look up the 4-digit codes listing that comes with the remote to see if FUNAI, MANAVOX, RCA use the same 4-digit code or not.

I've notice that the remote for my Polaroid TV also works on an Akai and Technicka TV set.
