I`ve got a Kameleon urc-8060 One For All - remote, and a tv (Philips GR1 AX), but I`ve lost the original remote for the tv. Can anyone please tell me what the code for this tv is, or where/how I can get it? I`ve tried the Philips-codes in the manual, but the tv doesnt work...I can use the volume, but I CAN`T USE THE SEARCHING TOOL! Without the channel-searching I cant use the tv. I`m sorry my english is so bad...I`m from scandinavia :-)

What's foreign about your post is your remote & Tv, I have no experience with EU gear, sorry.

If you can use the volume than at least you have a partly functional code. What remote are you using, what code is working for the volume?
Jim

Hey, Jim! Thank you very much for your answer! I`m using the code 0556. There are some other codes that seems to work too, but the problem is that I can`t search, and without searching I get no picture. The functions working are volume, program +/- and brightness/colour, contrast. These are behind the MENU button. On the original remote the search-tool was behind the MENU button, but it`s gone with the kameleon urc-8060 :-(

I am not quite understanding what you mean by "behind the MENU button". Are you saying that with the original remote you pushed MENU and some options appeared on screen, including SEARCH? Doesn't the same thing happen with the MENU on the 8060? Please help me understand.

Hey again, Jim!
Yes, that`s right. On the original remote I pushed MENU and some options appeared on screen, including SEARCH. When I push MENU with the 8060, the same thing doesn`t happen; the SEARCH-option is not there anymore. The only options now are brightness, contrast etc.

Wow, never heard of that before. What happens if you press MENU again? Does it go to another menu, or does it exit the menu function?
Do your directional arrows work? If so, does pressing Down or Up give you anything?

When I push Menu several times, it goes from brightness to contrast, to color, to volum, and then exits the menu function (the menu function goes away after 4 times). The arrows doesn`t work; if I press Down or Up nothing happens. In other words - I can`t even regulate (adjust) volum or anything. If my english is bad, I`m sorry.

I found something in another forum that may be worth a try.

Change the setup code from TV/0556 to TV/0037. See what the colored fastext buttons do, if they give you any menu functions.
Jim

Hmm...I changed my setup code from TV/0556 to TV/0037. To things happened:

1)I lost the MENU function when I press MENU
2)But, the directional arrows works now (I can change channels with the arrows). The colored fasttext buttons are still dead, I`m afraid.

I would like to give you a couple more codes to try, and tell me what buttons work properly with them (if any). If we can get a set of buttons that work in different setup codes than we can keymove to get a functional remote. Try 0512 and 0655.

Your English is better than many Americans'.

Jim

Thank you very much!
Let`s see..0512 and 0655 works in the same way as 0037.
I lost the MENU function when I pressed MENU, but the directional arrows works with both of these codes.

My primary goal is to find a code witch enables the search-function. It seems like the volume +/- and the prog +/- works with all your codes now. By the way: All number-buttons works just fine with your codes too.

It sounds to me like your TV may have two different "menu" functions -- one to get you into a picture adjustment menu and the other to get into a setup menu where you can search for the channels.

Have you tried contacting One-for-All customer service to see if they can give you have any advanced codes for alternative "menu" functions (they call it "Key magic" -- see in your manual)? As a start, one that I have heard works for "menu" on some RC-5 devices is 179.

BTW, the Philips model number you give -- GR1 AX -- sounds to me more like a basic chassis number than the complete model. Look around and see if it has a longer number on it somewhere. For example something like "21GR1251". That would also be helpful if you have to call One-for-All.

Sorry about not getting back to you sooner. Things around here got crazy with work, vehicle problems, etc.

Your device seems to take (as alfaman suggested) RC-5 protocol codes. The RC-5 expert that hangs around here is John Fine (johnsfine). He would be better able to help you than I, but I am going to take a look at some stuff and see if I can figure out anything. Have you tried the advanced code that alfaman suggested, by chance? I would suggest doing so with all 4 of the setup codes I gave you and see what happens.

What I mean is set device TV to the first setup code you were using and then try the advanced code. A way to test advanced codes before assigning them to a key is:
Press the device you want to control (TV)
Press Magic/Set/P
Press the first two numbers of the 3 digit advanced code
Aim the remote at the TV and press the third number
Upon receiving the command the remote will execute the command
If it works, you can assign the code to a key (hence"Keymover" or "key magic")

Jim

If you discover that two different setup codes each have advantages and disadvantages, then you should know that it is possible to mix them. You can temporarily program a different device key to the setup code with fewer correct keys, then use the KeyMovr operation to copy keys that are correct in that setup code to the device that you will be using. Then you can reprogram that other device key back to whatever other setup code it will normally use.


Does the 8060 include 0655? My data (from Rob) says it doesn't. 0512 is similar to 0037 and 0556. But 0512 has no menu function at all.


That is my guess as well.

We know the menu function of 0556 (which happens to be EFC number 103) is one of those menu functions, and it seems that we know the menu function of 0037 (which happens to be EFC number 146) is neither of those menu functions.

That leaves us guessing the EFC number of the desired function.


I'll try to do a search of CCF files later to get a guess at the right EFC number. But that sort of CCF file search isn't as easy as the ones I normally do. Function naming in CCF files isn't very consistent, especially in European CCF files, and there are a lot of CCF files for Philips TVs. I'm sure the desired function is in there somewhere, but I'm not sure the button in the CCF will be labeled "menu".
