Years ago I had a "universal" remote control, that I used for TV, VCR,DVD and CD players.
However (and you're going to hate this bit) in order to "teach" the universal remote the correct frequencies (?) you had to use the original remote controls. For example you put the two remotes together and then press "Play" or "Rewind" and then program a button on the universal remote to correspond to the action.

Sorry I can't help you further.Maybe ask all your friends over for a beer and ask them all to bring a remote to try smile
