How to Program Universal Remote for Aiwa TV (4 Methods)

Install fresh batteries before programming. Low battery power causes 64% of programming failures.

Method 1: Direct Code Entry (Fastest Method)

This method takes 60-90 seconds.

Step 1: Turn on your Aiwa TV manually using the power button on the TV itself.

Step 2: Press and hold the SETUP button (or CODE SEARCH button) on your universal remote until the red LED light stays on. This takes 3-5 seconds.

Step 3: Press the TV button once. The LED should blink once then remain lit.

Step 4: Enter the 4-digit code using the number buttons. Try 0121 first.

Step 5: The LED will turn off if the code is accepted. If the LED blinks rapidly 3 times, the code was rejected.

Step 6: Point the remote at your TV and press POWER. If the TV turns off, the code worked.

Step 7: Press POWER again to turn the TV back on. Test volume and channel buttons.

If the first code doesn’t work, repeat steps 1-7 with the next code from the list. Most users find a working code within 3 attempts.

Method 2: Auto-Search Programming

Use this method when direct code entry fails. Auto-search takes 5-15 minutes but finds the correct code automatically.

Step 1: Turn on your Aiwa TV.

Step 2: Press and hold SETUP until the red LED stays lit (about 3 seconds).

Step 3: Press the TV button. The LED blinks once and stays on.

Step 4: Press and release the POWER button repeatedly. Wait 2 seconds between each press. The remote cycles through all codes in its database.

Step 5: When your TV turns off, immediately press ENTER (or OK) to save the code. Don’t press POWER again.

Step 6: Test the remote functions. If most buttons work but some don’t, repeat the process. The remote may have landed on a partial code.

Auto-search typically cycles through 10-20 codes per minute. If your TV doesn’t turn off after 20 minutes, your remote may not have Aiwa codes in its database.

Method 3: Brand Code Search

Some remotes let you search within a specific brand’s code range.

Step 1: Press and hold SETUP until the LED stays on.

Step 2: Enter 991 (brand search mode).

Step 3: Press the TV button twice.

Step 4: Press POWER repeatedly until your TV responds.

Step 5: Press SETUP to lock in the code when the TV turns off.

This method works on GE, RCA, and Philips remotes made after 2022.

Method 4: Manual Learning Mode

High-end universal remotes like Logitech Harmony support learning mode.

Step 1: Place your universal remote and original Aiwa remote 2 inches apart, facing each other.

Step 2: Put the universal remote into learning mode (check your remote’s manual for the specific button sequence).

Step 3: Press a button on the universal remote, then immediately press the same button on the Aiwa remote.

Step 4: Repeat for all buttons you want to program.

Learning mode has a 98% success rate but requires the original remote. This method bypasses code compatibility issues entirely.

Testing Your Programmed Remote

Essential Functions to Verify

Test these 8 functions after programming:

  1. Power on/off
  2. Volume up and down
  3. Channel up and down
  4. Number pad entries (test channels 5, 10, 25)
  5. Menu button
  6. Input/Source button
  7. Mute button
  8. Navigation arrows (up, down, left, right)

If power works but volume doesn’t, your remote may control volume through a different device code. Press the AUDIO or AMP button, then try volume again.

Troubleshooting Aiwa TV Remote Programming

Remote Not Responding

Check these 4 issues first:

Battery orientation: Flip the batteries and reinsert them. Reversed polarity blocks all signals.

Line of sight: Point the remote directly at the TV’s IR sensor. The sensor is usually near the power LED on the TV frame. Maximum effective range is 15 feet.

Code timeout: If you wait more than 30 seconds during programming, the remote exits setup mode. Start over and work faster.

Remote locked: Some remotes have a child lock feature. Press and hold SETUP and MUTE together for 5 seconds to unlock.

Partial Functions Working

Power works but other buttons don’t respond in 23% of cases. This means you programmed a partial code.

Run auto-search again. When the TV turns off during auto-search, don’t stop. Press POWER to turn the TV back on, then continue cycling through codes. Stop when volume or channel buttons start working.

Alternatively, try the next code in the list. Code 0121 may control power while code 1904 controls everything.

Code Entry Fails

The LED blinks 3 times rapidly when you enter an invalid code.

Wrong digit count: Verify your remote uses 4-digit codes, not 3-digit or 5-digit. Check the remote’s manual or look up the model number online.

Wrong mode: Make sure you pressed the TV button before entering the code. If you pressed SAT, CABLE, or DVD by mistake, the code won’t work.

Outdated remote: Remotes manufactured before 2015 may not have Aiwa codes. The brand became less common after 2010. Consider buying a current-year universal remote with updated databases. Onn universal remotes and Insignia remotes both maintain excellent compatibility with legacy TV brands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if none of the codes work for my Aiwa TV?

Try auto-search programming. If that fails, your remote likely doesn’t support Aiwa. Buy a OneForAll remote or Logitech Harmony remote. Both brands maintain Aiwa compatibility as of 2026.

Can I use my cable remote as a universal remote?

Yes. Comcast, Spectrum, DirecTV, and Dish remotes all function as universal remotes. Follow the same programming steps using 5-digit codes.

Why does my remote control another TV in the house?

Your TVs use overlapping IR codes. Program each remote to a different device mode (TV1, TV2) or use RF remotes instead of IR remotes. RF remotes don’t interfere with each other. If you have multiple TVs from brands like Samsung, Vizio, or Sony, this issue becomes more common.

Do Aiwa TV codes work on Aiwa soundbars?

No. Soundbars and TVs use different code databases. You need Aiwa audio codes similar to other audio equipment, not TV codes, for soundbars and receivers.

How do I find my Aiwa TV model number?

Check the back panel of your TV. The model number is printed on a white or silver sticker near the input ports. It starts with letters like AW or XR followed by numbers.

My Aiwa TV is from 2008. Will modern remotes work?

Older Aiwa TVs from 2005-2012 use codes 0121, 0196, and 0227. Most current universal remotes still include these legacy codes. Try 0121 first. For other vintage TV brands, check our guides for Zenith, Sanyo, and Daewoo TVs.
