Sylvania 6719DD 19-Inch TV/VCR/DVD Triple Combo
Remote nightmare
This is a great little set with good picture and decent sound quality.  The VCR/DVD components have worked flawlessly the few times we used them.  We used it very seldom in the past year, deciding after it was purchased and used that it was a tad too small for clear viewing for us, from the distance it was intended for use. It was never hooked up to cable or an antenna, and we only watched a few DVDs and VCRs on it after purchasing it, and so it was never originally programmed as most TVs would be for viewing of cable or satellite stations. <br /> <br />During the past year somehow the remote became lost.  I passed this TV on to another individual, and though the VCR and DVD components continue to work fine using the buttons on the TV set body, this set seems unable to be programmed now, even with a brand new universal remote-control device.  We have had the cable company out to this individual's house twice now, both times the tech leaves in frustration, telling us the set is unable to be programmed without the original remote-controller.  Now we are searching online for somewhere that sells the original Sylvania remote-control for this particular set, having entered tons of codes through both the store-bought universal controller, as well as the new hi-tech remote-control provided by the cable company.  Searching modes for both the universal control and the cable control have failed to produce a code that operates this set.  I have never encountered a problem like this before.  Just letting folks know about this so you will hang on to your original control device!!!!!
