hello, this is not really a repair question, but i figure someone in this group would know.
i tried to get a replacement remote, and the closest one they could send me (not the original zenith remote, something with the number rc4002 at the top) has a button on it labeled "wake-up/sleep." the original remote had one button for "sleep" and another button for "alarm." the new remote's "wake-up/sleep" button seems to function identically to the original remote's "sleep" button: push it once to stand by, twice to sleep in 30 min, three times to sleep in 60 min, et cetera up to 120 min, and then back to standby. i presume the "wake-up" portion of the "wake-up/sleep" function is to set the alarm...? but i cannnot find any way to work this feature. on the original remote, when you press "alarm", it brings up something like ALARM HH:MM AM and you press the numbers to set the hour, minute, and select am/pm of the alarm time. this feature is a deal breaker for me; i MUST be able to set the alarm function!
does anyone know if this substitute remote is capable of setting the alarm and if so how? (it did not come with any manual.) if this substitute is NOT capable of performing this function, can anyone direct me to one that can? although the original remote also included functions for controling the vcr, this feature is not important to me as the vcr portion of the set no longer works. any new remote that will control all the tv and menu functions will suffice-- it need not provide vcr control as well.
many thanks!!
