Many have complained that the "extensive database" of the TSU3000 just doesn't have their "new TV". I am coming to the conclusion that there is a bug with the Brand tool, especially for Sony TV (and maybe other brands) instead of a poor database.
First, I've used several other (cheap) Universal Remotes, all of which have no problem with any of my Sony TVs, so I find it a little hard to believe that Philips could get it so wrong.
My 3000 indicates that neither my really old Sony TV or my really new Sony TV are in the database (even enough just to operate the power button!). I think it's a bug.
Observe the following: 1) With the Brand Tool, select TV device, Sony Brand. 2) Go to the Codepage selection screen. 3) Select Sony_2 and "Try" it. (Don't actually have to push any buttons.) 4) Do "Back". Notice that "Sony_1" is shown as selected! 5) Select Sony_5 and "try" it. 6) Do Back. Again, notice that "Sony_1" is selected.
If you do this with other Devices (like Cable or DVD) you'll notice that when you do Back from TRY, it shows what you had previously selected and does NOT reset to the top of the list. So my conclusion is that it's likely that the Try and Search code is working only with Sony_1, never actually doing anything with the others, which is why we all think that our TV's aren't in the database.
