Isn't there a menu button on the set??

If there is no menu selection available on the front panel controls of the set, your only alternative is to invest in to buying the original factory remote.

I thought so too. I had an old VCR I was using for a tuner, but needed to program channels when I got cable. It wasn't worth buying a new remote. Fortunately I found an program for Palm OS (OmniRemote?). There's an online library which has the complete codes for my unit available for free download.

In fact, this is a good resource for anybody who services gear. If the codes you need aren't included in the original download (many are), there are supplemental code libraries, or you can request that someone copy them from an OEM remote (learn mode) and upload. For one-time programming, you can download the an evaluation copy which will do the job for free.

Some Palm handhelds have sufficient IR power to completely replace a normal remote. My old M-130 (have two) is one such, and it's available on eBay for much, much less than a programmable remote with comparable capabilities. Leave it in a charging base...no more buying AAA's for the normal plethora of remotes.

OTOH, my Palm smartphone won't transmit more than five feet or so. I solved that by placing a PowerMid unit near my customary listening/watching position.
