Old Sony TV Remote Codes
I have an old 10" CRT Sony TV and I can't connect the XR-11 remote to control it anymore. This DID work for a long time but the COX tech set it up when my service was installed. Therefore I know it is possible. But I lost that original XR-11 remote and I can't get the replacement to work with this old TV. The original Sony remote works fine which rules out a TV issue. I have tried all the codes in the XR-11 setup and a million others I found on the web for Sony TVs but no luck. I believe that I'm doing the setup correctly - (PressContour/Settings/ControlYourTV/PressSetupUntilGreen/EnterCode/PressVolumeToTest) Anyone have any ideas? Don't tell me to get a new TV because this old Sony is the perfect size for my garage and there are some things that CRT TV's do better than new ones - for example they continue to work forever and don't care if it's 30 degrees in the garage! Thanks if anyone has a magic list of Sony codes - especially any COX install techs out there.

After trying 1 million codes, you should have found the correct one.
Did you use all codes listed here: http://www.urcsupport.com/urc_product/cox-xr11-voice-remote-2/
- Click CODE FINDER under the image of your remote
- Click ADD NEW TV
- Click SONY
- Click I DON'T KNOW...
- Click MORE
There are 12 listed...maybe one will work.

I seem to remember that Sony used to have the code 000 or 0000 for a long a long time. It's possible the newer remotes don't have the old standard but its worth a try.
