BEKO TV remotes?

[Straitjacket Fits]

My folks got a 68cm BEKO stereo/teletext TV for a very reasonable price as
it had been dropped and replaced under insurance. Quite a nice picture too
now it's been properly repaired (and by a qualified repairer too - just
thought I'd add that to get in everyone's good books.....).

One big problem though - no remote. I tried a few codes I'd found on the
One For All site for their spare remote, but no dice. For the moment
they're using a remote from their other TV (a Samsung) with hilarious
unpredictable results (bloody annoying spending any amount of time with them
at their place, especially when Dad decides to switch channels and german
subtitles pop up instead.....). I've searched the net extensively and
visited BEKO's east european site (which is in mostly east european,
helpfully), and phoned JB Hifi who no longer stock this brand, so I've hit a
bit of a brick wall looking for a replacement remote for this set. BEKO
just isn't a real entity on the internet. Does anyone reading the forum
have a BEKO remote lying around they could sell me? I could try another
universal remote but as we don't have a user guide either it'd probably be
random luck getting to know this set's features! Please, my folks are
annoying enough as it is.....

Cheers

Steve

FWIW, Beko is a Turkish brand. Their website states that Beko
Elektronik is a Koç Holding company. ;-)

Elsewhere on their website:

"Founded in 1966, Beko Elektronik, A.S. is one of Europe's fourth
largest television manufacturers [sic] and provides quality products
under its own name as well as to major, well-known Other End
Manufacturers (OEM) to over 60 countries."

Thanks

I have bought a cheap $12 universal remote from The Warehouse the other
day
and it works quite well. Looking up the code list, it lists a BEKO with
code
of 277. Don't know if that helps. As I understand it these codes relates
to
specific remote control manufacturers - in my case a NSE URC22B-6A, that
is
the cheapy from the Warehouse.

By the way it has a "self search" function and you need to be able to
understand the instruction which I'm sure was written in Chinese and
loosely
translated to English. Give it a try, they will refund with receipt.

Good luck,

Forget it, there's one in Ringwood, I've just checked.

FWIW,

I have a BEKO TV, and have found that it uses RC5 encoding, using TV1 as
it's ID field. Should be fairly common code I would have thought....

Though one may need to be a bit more creative to access things like
teletext etc if available. The numbers, volume and channel change
features should all work fairly easily though with RC5 TV1 encoding
which I would have thought these "All-in-one" universal remote devices
would definately support.

the remote could of been salvageable if it was pulled apart and cleaned and
dried. Mobile phones always get dropped in water, you'd never guess how many
end up in a toilet bowl, phone starts ringing when having a piss, slips out
of your hand and falls in, and they are most of the time salvageable.

Yeah, I thought it was strange that Dad's One For All universal remote
didn't snag the correct code for his Beko TV. I've heard that Beko are
OEM
suppliers for TV chassis, so I thought I'd also try the few lesser-known
manufacturer's codes in the One For All's manual. 037 should definitely
work if anyone else is having a similar problem, and the teletext should
also be accessible too. Dad forgot to tell me before I bothered entering
all the codes into this remote, that my baby nephew had dunked it in water
a
few weeks ago. It's a gonner.
Thanks again to Max who hooked me up with the Beko distributor in
Melbourne - they're having a look around for a second hand Beko remote.

Cheers
