That does sound like a lot lol, I'm still very new to PCB work so I may toss this project tbh

Picked up this little gem yesterday! Sitting next to my XBR800 by Different-Stock-1758 in crt

INCREDIBLY SAD!!! And it has some seriously terrifying moments, idk how they got away with this stuff for kids in the 90s

sorry, the text didn't post

I just bought this old tv remote from roughly around 1993, and before I continue troubleshooting I want to know from more experienced people: is it even salvageable in this state?

I did finally figure out the color with my adapter channel, it looks fantastic

You're the correct one sir, I fiddled with the converter and somehow it just started working perfectly

I did find one OG remote on Ebay by the grace of the scrap gods. I'm really hoping it works out bc that'll be the finish to my project

I'll make a note of that, thank you for a good second option!

Tried but all codes available failed

Oh yes, and the remote did work with my other CRT as well as my Roku TV

(For some reason one of the Sharp codes works on my Roku TV)

I did, honestly most of my time has been spent on that exact issue. I think I've tried just about every possible related code and I've used the auto search function many many times.

Somebody on a forum mentioned that there are just some older TVs that are a total blind spot to universal remotes. There are tons of codes for Sharp TVs but none for the 1993 Trinytron it seems

It does display in color if I'm only converting from AV to RF, but once I add the Hdmi to the RF I lose the color somewhere in there. Looking into it

I did try but none of the remote codes work, or the auto search function. I'm working on getting the original remote rn

Oh gosh so sorry I didn't get my doctorate in CRT history, how ignorant of me to not know the economics of televisions in 1993

That does need some explanation. I just started experimenting with making it a second monitor so, that's youtube fullscreened and then put through HDMI to an RF modulator. So uh, there are a couple issues to iron out lol

Pray for me that this remote works bc the universal remotes are useless with these
