Philips Magnavox Remote Codes: The Magnavox universal remotes have various models in the market today and they work with all TV brands. Each of these brands have different remote control codes, and the universal remote’s programming enables the device to respond to the remote. The remote codes are three to four digit numbers that need to be keyed in to make the device respond to the remote. These days, most of the Magnavox TVs come with a universal remote, like the 26mf605w Magnavox. The codes that have to be keyed are provided at the Magnavox support webpage, http://www.m-i-c.com/magnavox.htm.

Then program the remote with the new code. Also, if the remote is installed with new batteries, it will have to be reprogrammed again. However, there are other universal remotes that do not need such programming to be done.
