It's hard to say. Try programming it to another set and make sure the remote works. If it does, fasten your seatbelt. There are a few "hard-headed" manufacturers who make sets that have remotes with "oddball codes" and they cannot be replaced with the universal remotes. Some Symphonic sets are like this. Buy a remote from a company that will take it back if it won't program to your set. Ask them up front about returns. Radio Shack is one such company that will take the remote back if you cannot make it work with your unit and you return it with all the stuff it came with - including the receipt. Good luck.

I would suggest cleaning the remote sensor on the TV set. if there is dirt buildup on it that will block the IR signal from entering the sensor unit.
