Regards oseni yogesh Dear Team, Please let me know urgently hidden secret code for my SSR-100d TV remote control of Sansui color TV. Waiting for reply. Thanks in advance. VG ^^ You can try following codes: 1. Press Menu button on remote and then press Channel down button on remote. 2. Press Menu button on remote and then press 1147 buttons quickly on the remote. 3. Press Menu button on remote and then press 0323 buttons quickly on the remote. If it asks for , enter 1947. Mitchell Ok. I have foind the solution some may be looking for. The issue with some of these tvs, like mine, is that the remote it came with functions on bluetooth. The mute 1 2 8 power command needs to be done using an infrared remote. The problem with some universal remotes like my telus box remote is that the number buttons dont even emit a pulse when pushed until the tv is on. The only way i was able to enter the service menu was to use 2 different remotes. One for the mute a d power button press and another for the numbers. It worked like a charm on my samsung smart tv. There was no one remote that worked. Sometimes the best indication is the little led on your universal remote that blinks when you push a button. If thats blinking it should be putting out an infrared pulse. clova elaim thanks a lot you're fantastic! thanks. Suresh babu. vc Iam tried to this method,and best result..... Congratulations...... jim britton
