Short answer: The most reliable universal remote codes for Akira TV are 2457, 0753, 3494, 0037, and 1878 (4-digit). For 3-digit remotes, try 211, 611, or 381 first. If a code doesn’t work, the auto code search method below will find the right one without any code at all.
Akira TV is a Taiwan-based brand — the same manufacturer behind SEIKI televisions. Replacement Akira remotes are hard to find, and the original remote stops working more often than it should. A universal remote is the practical fix. The only thing standing between you and a working remote is the right code.
This guide covers every major universal remote brand — GE, RCA, One For All, Chunghop, and Philips — with specific codes for each. It also covers three programming methods so you have a fallback if the first approach fails.
Akira TV Universal Remote Codes — Full List
Akira TVs span several model years and production runs. Different production batches can use different IR protocols, which is why the same remote brand may have 10 or more codes assigned to Akira. Try the codes at the top of each list first — they cover the largest share of Akira models.

You can find the full GE universal remote code list covering all TV brands if you need codes for other devices too.
| Code | Works With |

Chunghop Remote Codes for Akira TV
Chunghop remotes (models RM-88E, RM-133E, RM-139E, H-1880E) use a SETUP button or a CODE button depending on the model. Use 4-digit codes below. The full Chunghop universal remote code guide covers setup instructions for all Chunghop models in detail.
| Code | Tested On |
|---|---|
| 2457 | RM-88E, RM-133E |
| 0753 | RM-139E, H-1880E |
| 3494 | RM-133E |
| 2241 | H-1880E |
| 2530 | — |
Chunghop tip: If your Chunghop remote has no SETUP button, look for a button labeled CODE or TV/AV. Hold it for 3 seconds until the LED blinks twice, then enter the code.
Philips Universal Remote Codes for Akira TV
Philips universal remotes use a shorter code list for Akira. If neither code below works, check our Philips universal remote programming guide for the auto-search method specific to Philips remotes.

How to Program a Universal Remote to Akira TV — 3 Methods
Recommended
Method 1
Direct Code Entry
The fastest approach. Takes about 60 seconds if you have the right code.
- 1 Turn on your Akira TV manually using the power button on the TV itself.
- 2 Press and hold the SETUP button on your universal remote until the LED indicator turns red or green (usually 3–5 seconds).
- 3 Press the TV button on the remote. The LED will blink once and stay lit.
- 4 Enter one of the codes from the list above. Use the correct digit count for your remote model.
- 5 Point the remote at the TV and press the POWER button. If the TV turns off, the code worked.
- 6 Press POWER again to turn the TV back on, then test VOLUME UP/DOWN and CHANNEL buttons to confirm full function.
If the TV doesn’t respond, repeat from Step 2 with the next code on the list.
No Code Needed
Method 2
Auto Code Search
Use this when you don’t know which code to enter, or when the code list hasn’t worked.
- 1 Turn on your Akira TV using the physical button on the TV.
- 2 Hold the SETUP button until the remote LED turns red or green.
- 3 Press the TV button. The LED stays lit.
- 4 Press POWER on the remote once per second. The remote scans through its code database one at a time. Keep pressing slowly — don’t rush.
- 5 Stop the moment the TV turns off. That means the remote has landed on a working code.
- 6 Press SETUP to lock the code in place. The LED will blink twice to confirm.
Note: This scan can take 2–5 minutes depending on how large your remote’s code database is. Keep pressing steadily — stopping too early means you’ll miss the right code.
Last Resort
Method 3
Manual IR Learning Mode
Only available on learning remotes. Use this if your original Akira remote still has some working buttons.
- 1 Place the original Akira remote and the universal remote face-to-face, IR emitters pointing at each other, about 3 cm apart.
- 2 Put the universal remote in learning mode. This varies by brand — check your manual. Usually it involves holding two buttons simultaneously.
- 3 Press the button on the universal remote you want to assign, then immediately press the matching button on the original remote. The LED will blink to confirm each transfer.
- 4 Repeat for every button you need to copy. Power, volume, mute, and channel buttons are the essentials.
- 5 Exit learning mode by pressing SETUP once. Test all copied functions.
What to Do If the Code Doesn’t Work
Most issues come down to one of four problems. Each has a specific fix.
Problem: TV doesn’t respond at all to any code
Make sure you’re using the correct digit length. GE CL3 remotes only accept 3-digit codes. CL4 and CL5 need 4-digit codes. Check the sticker inside your remote’s battery compartment — it will say CL3, CL4, or CL5. Using a 4-digit code on a CL3 remote won’t work, even if the code itself is correct. You can also use the remote code finder tool to locate the right code for your exact remote model.
Problem: Power button works but volume and channels don’t
This is a partial code match — the remote found the power command but the other functions use a different IR protocol variant. Don’t lock in this code. Try the next code down in the list for your remote brand. Akira TVs across different model years can use slightly different command sets, which is why multiple codes exist for the same brand.
Problem: LED doesn’t turn on when holding SETUP
Replace the remote’s batteries first — low power is the most common reason SETUP mode fails to activate. If fresh batteries don’t fix it, your remote may use a different activation method. Some RCA and GE remotes require you to hold SETUP for 7–10 seconds rather than the standard 3 seconds. Check if the LED flickers briefly before going dark — if it does, hold the button longer.
Problem: Code worked but stopped working after a few days
The code wasn’t saved correctly. Remove the batteries from your universal remote for 30 seconds to reset it, then reinsert them and reprogram from scratch. This time, after the TV turns off on step 5, wait 2 full seconds before pressing SETUP to lock in the code.
Problem: None of the codes in any list work
Run the Auto Code Search (Method 2 above). If that also fails, your universal remote’s code database may not include your specific Akira model. In that case, a learning remote — one that can copy IR signals directly from another remote — is your best option. If you’re also seeing on-screen error codes, the TV error code lookup tool can help diagnose whether there’s a deeper issue with the TV itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common universal remote code for Akira TV?
Code 2457 works on the largest number of Akira TV models across GE, RCA, One For All, and Chunghop remotes. Try it first before anything else. If your remote uses 3-digit codes, start with 211.
Can I use a GE universal remote with an Akira TV?
Yes. GE remotes (CL4 and CL5 versions) work with Akira TVs. Use code 2457 first, then 0753 or 3494 if that doesn’t work. Check the sticker in your battery compartment to confirm whether you have a CL3, CL4, or CL5 remote before entering codes. Our full GE universal remote programming guide covers the step-by-step setup process in detail.
Why are there so many codes for Akira TV?
Akira TVs have been produced across many model years and production batches. Different batches can use different IR command sets. That’s why a single remote brand may list 10+ codes for Akira — each code targets a specific model range or firmware revision.
What if my universal remote doesn’t have a SETUP button?
Some remotes use a different button — often labeled CODE, PROG, or AUX. Chunghop remotes typically use a CODE button. Hold it for 3 seconds until the LED blinks twice, then enter the code. Not sure what the buttons on your remote do? The remote control button explainer breaks down every common button function across major remote brands.
Is Akira the same brand as SEIKI?
Yes. Akira and SEIKI are both manufactured by the same Taiwan-based company. Many universal remote codes that work for SEIKI TV will also work for Akira TV, and vice versa.
Final Note
Getting a universal remote working with an Akira TV doesn’t have to take more than a few minutes. Start with code 2457 (4-digit) or 211 (3-digit). If neither works, run the auto code search — it will find the right code without any guesswork. And if partial function is the issue, it means you need the next code in your brand’s list, not a completely different remote.
The programming steps are the same across most universal remote brands. The only real variable is which code hits the right IR protocol for your specific Akira model. If you also need codes for other TV brands, we have guides for Hisense, Dynex, Element, and ONN TVs as well.
