Solved! Vizio VA220E (VERY old), no remote available to buy

[peacecorpsteve]

I cannot buy one, and I've tried FOUR "universal" remotes....none of which work...
I can access items (change input sources, picture settings, etc.) but I CANNOT change any settings because there's no "enter" or "select" button,... I can only access the various settings menus... but I cannot actually change anything... VERY frustrating..

Thanks in advance...
S. Hildebrandt

Umm? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XVizio+VA220E+remote.TRS0&_nkw=Vizio+VA220E+remote&_sacat=0

Just check that the sticker name of TV does match with code like in ""
VIZIO VA220E "VA22LFHDTV10T VA26L VA26LHDTV10" LCD Plasma TV Remote Control

Roberrt.... Thanks for your input. I've tried 4 "universal" remotes that claimed to be direct replacements for the Vizio VR1. Two of them, (the Onn and Sony), claimed to work right out of the package WITHOUT programming. I was able to turn it on & off with the Sony, but that's all it could perform (even with me fummelling / reprogramming it.
Thanks again,
Steve H.

Do you read that he tried different remotes?
Oh and for lols "quick remote" only works for smart TV's because remote uses IR.
