I purchased the Insigina DVD-R from Best Buy and a Bose Cinemate 2 in 1 system for my new DLP Christmas present...........only to find that the Universal Cinemate Remote Control did not list the code for the DVD-r ( Model NS-DVDR1 ). What could have taken hours for me to get the code (if at all) took me minutes and I got lucky, but now it will take you seconds!

For this particular setup I used the LG DVD-R code of 20741 which WORKED! For your remote you might try stripping the 2 and entering only 0741 or add a 1 10741 ,but the code 0741 is the key.

Before getting this to work I googled my model/remote etc and got a clue from another poster who used an LG code for another INSIGNIA brand (aka BestBuy) DVD/VCR combo. The poster never gave up the code, but it's yours now to end the frustration!

As a side note I called Insignia's FREE 24hr/7day a week support line (1-877-467-4289) for a quick answer, even they didn't know it! RUBBISH!

Bose Cinemate Universal Remote Control

Working Code: 20741

Bose Cinemate Universal Remote Control

Working Code: 20741

Usually the setup code numbers vary randomly by brand of universal remote, rather than something simple like tacking on a 2 in front as you suggested. So at first glance I suspected what you said wouldn't be useful to most other users of the same DVD-R.

I checked setup code DVD/0741 that is in several models of remote made by UEI (mainly OneForAll brand).

I then found several DVD models that are basically the same code set as DVD/0741. Those are:
Zenith DVD2381
Goldstar DVD-2380P
LG DVD-4950
LG DVD-4351N
LG DVD-4320N
LG DVD-7834
LG DVD-3200E

So that certainly fits the claim that it would be a setup code in most universal remotes listed as LG.

The likely reason for Bose Cinemate Universal Remote Control setup code numbering being related to UEI setup code numbering is that UEI designed the remote for Bose (I don't specically know who designed the remote for Bose; I'm just basing that on the related setup code numbering).

If a universal remote was designed by some other company, the 0741 info would be no help. That may be why your source said LG.

Even with remotes designed by UEI, most don't include setup code DVD/0741. Far more of them include DVD/0591. That has the same basic signal set as DVD/0741 and as those DVD models I listed above. I assume a few of the commands vary by model and a few vary between DVD/0591, DVD/0741, (and I think DVD/0869 is also the same basic signal set). I did a quick automated check for all this, so I have no guess which/whether any of those three setup codes is the best fit for any of those models.
