Some devices have a "prefix" code before they work, but I've never seen this with TV.
Best suggestion is to trade one out for a different brand, however even that may not work... For me it was a good thing but I have a "no-name" wal-mart special in my bedroom as my prmary (The 2nd TV in the bedroom they double as computer monitors and occasionally IN need two TV's for set up reasons) is a Samsung, no interaction via remotes.
But when I picked up a DYNEX for the main room.. .. No remote (Good deal at a pawn shop) Imagine my surprise when I found it takes the same codes as the no-name wally world special. (Handled all but one function.. and normally I only use on/off and volume (The function it did nto support was inut select).
