User question

Can't set up my ST-620+Universal remote with my Ecco TV

Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

  • Your ST-620+ will work with an Ecco TV only if the TV’s infrared (IR) protocol is inside the remote’s code library.
  • Ecco is usually an “OEM-rebadged” set that shares codes with TCL, Hisense, Changhong/Skyworth or Sharp, so start with those code families.
  • Program the remote by (1) direct-code entry, (2) auto-search, or (3) learning mode (if available).
  • Most-commonly-reported working codes: 0264 0363 0556 0587 0765 0919 1037 1147 1245 1337 1556 1765 as well as 048 115 116 134 183 224 and Sharp 1004 1006 1012 1026.
  • If none of the codes operate basic Power + Volume, the TV probably uses RF/Bluetooth only; in that case an IR universal remote will never work and you must use the original remote or a Bluetooth/Android-TV phone app.

Detailed problem analysis

1. Why Ecco is hard to find in code tables

• Ecco does not manufacture its own chassis; most models are identical to TCL, Hisense, Changhong/CHiQ, Skyworth or budget Sharp sets.
• Universal-remote handbooks seldom list “Ecco”, so you must try those OEM brands.
• Some late-model Smart TVs abandoned IR and rely purely on Bluetooth/RF; no IR-only remote can control them.

2. Identify your exact TV

Look at the back-label or service menu; chassis numbers such as “TP.MS6486.PB710” or “RTD2841” immediately reveal the OEM family:
• TP.MS6486 = TCL/Changhong code set
• RTD2841 = Skyworth/Hisense code set
Knowing this greatly narrows the search.

3. Programming procedures for the ST-620+

There are two firmware variants; check which key sequence puts yours in programming mode.

Variant A (most common)

  1. Hold SET until LED stays on.
  2. Press TV. LED remains steady.
  3. Enter code → LED blinks twice and turns off.
  4. Test POWER, VOLUME.

Variant B (“SET + POWER”)

  1. Hold SET + POWER together until LED lights.
  2. Press TV.
  3. Enter code, etc.

If direct entry fails, use Auto-Search:

  1. Turn TV ON manually.
  2. SET (hold) → LED steady → TV key.
  3. Press and hold POWER; remote cycles through codes (~1 code/sec).
  4. When TV turns off, release immediately, then press SET to store.
  5. Test all keys; if only POWER works, resume search—there is usually a fully-functional code later in the list.

4. Code lists (highest success rate first)

Likely OEM master list Legacy / alt. list
-------------------------------- --------------------
0264 0363 0556 0587 0765 048 115 116 134
0919 1037 1147 1245 1337 183 224
1556 1765 (TCL/Hisense/CHiQ) 0037 0217 0668 0714
Sharp-style: 1004 1006 1012 1026 0000 0003 0052

Try each, test Power → Volume → Channel → Menu.

5. Verifying hardware

• IR camera test: point a phone camera at remote, press any key—purple/white flash = OK.
• Replace batteries (1.5 V each) before every long code-search session.
• Confirm TV IR window is not covered or in strong sunlight; IR receivers saturate easily.

Current information and trends

• Recent Ecco-branded Smart TVs with Android-TV 11+ are shipping solely with Bluetooth voice remotes; IR receivers are omitted—universal IR remotes cannot control them.
• Most 2023-2024 low-cost panels use Realtek RTD2851A or Mediatek MT9602 System-on-Chip; both still support NEC-type IR at 38 kHz, so ST-620+ remains compatible.
• Industry is moving toward HDMI-CEC and Wi-Fi/BLE control; expect fewer new TVs to keep full IR command sets.

Supporting explanations and details

• Why several codes partially work: manufacturers sometimes split Power/Volume/Channel across two sub-device addresses to keep compatibility with multiple remote models.
• The ST-620+ stops auto-search on the first code that toggles Power; continue search if other keys are dead.
• Learning mode (if your remote ends in “L”) is fool-proof: face the original Ecco remote 1–2 cm away, enter Learn, press source key then destination key—repeat for each function.

Ethical and legal aspects

• No licence is needed to use universal IR codes; they are in the public domain.
• Do not use hidden service-menu codes unless you know factory reset procedures; mis-adjustment can disable backlight or brick the TV.
• Keep battery disposal compliant with local e-waste regulations.

Practical guidelines

  1. Write down each code you test; when a code gives 80 % functionality you can return to it quickly.
  2. During auto-search aim the remote steadily at the TV; missing the IR window forces you to restart.
  3. When you find a working code back-up the settings (photo of your note) because a full 981 reset erases memory.

Potential challenges & fixes
• LED blinks but never steady → wrong key sequence → consult manual PDF.
• Remote accepts code but TV unresponsive → TV is RF-only; confirm by covering TV’s IR window—nothing changes.

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

• Code libraries shipped in older ST-620+ batches (before 2018) lack some Changhong/Skyworth codes; if yours was bought second-hand, consider flashing the 2021+ firmware or buying a newer learning remote.
• Some Sharp codes in the 2-digit family (e.g., 41, 43) are not supported by the ST-620+. Stick to the 4-digit list above.

Suggestions for further research

• If you obtain the chassis ID, search it at elektroda.com or remotecentral.com for the exact Pronto-hex IR set.
• Look into HDMI-CEC control via a set-top box/streaming stick as a brand-agnostic alternative.
• Evaluate a phone with IR-blaster (Xiaomi/OnePlus) plus the “Mi Remote” database—often updated weekly.

Brief summary

Your ST-620+ can usually drive an Ecco TV because the underlying hardware uses TCL/Hisense/Changhong/Skyworth or Sharp IR code families. Program it with the high-probability codes (0264, 0363, 0556… 1765), or run auto-search until the TV responds, then store the code and test all keys. If every IR attempt fails, the TV is almost certainly Bluetooth/RF-only and an IR universal remote will never work; use the original remote or a Bluetooth/Android-TV phone app instead.

User question

Code for Toshiba. 40L2433D

Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

  • Short answer: Your Toshiba 40L2433D is a Vestel-built Toshiba and works with standard Toshiba/Vestel IR codes. If you’re programming an ST‑620+ (or similar 4‑digit-code universal), start with 1508.
  • Key codes by code-length:
    • 4‑digit (typical universals, incl. ST‑620+): 1508, 1311, 0618, 1163, 0039
    • 3‑digit (older remotes): 516, 590, 617, 631, 635, 667, 680, 683, 688, 750
    • 5‑digit (UEI/One‑For‑All/Cable remotes): 10156, 10178, 10060, 10154, 11524

If one code powers the TV but other buttons are wrong, keep trying the list until you get full functionality.

Detailed problem analysis

  • Model background: Toshiba 40L2433D (2013–2014 EU model) uses a Vestel mainboard (17MB82/17MB82S family). These sets respond to the common Toshiba/Vestel IR set (NEC‑extended, 38 kHz carrier).
  • Why code lists differ: “Toshiba” numbers vary between universal-remote brands. The same IR set may be labeled 1508 in one remote, 0156/10156 in a UEI/One‑For‑All remote, or 516/617 in a 3‑digit list. That’s why you see different numbers that ultimately emit the same IR protocol.
  • What typically works first try:
    • For 4‑digit databases (ST‑620+, Chunghop, generic): 1508, 1311 are the most reported matches on Vestel-built Toshibas.
    • For UEI/One‑For‑All: TV 10156 or 10178 usually gives full control; 10060 and 10154 are alternatives.
    • For older 3‑digit sets: 516/617 are common working entries.

Current information and trends

  • L2xxx/L3xxx Toshiba (Vestel) sets remain fully IR-driven; no Bluetooth dependency. Replacement remotes marked for Vestel/Toshiba 2012–2015 generally work out of the box.
  • Trend note: Newer TVs often add Bluetooth/802.11 remotes; not applicable to the 40L2433D, which simplifies universal-remote pairing.

Supporting explanations and details

  • IR protocol: NEC extended, typical device/sub-device used by Toshiba/Vestel; 38 kHz receiver front-end. Any universal remote with NEC coverage should work.
  • Where the IR window is: usually bottom bezel, center or right side near the standby LED—ensure line-of-sight.

Ethical and legal aspects

  • None significant; using a universal remote and related codes is standard practice and lawful. Avoid publishing service-mode sequences that could inadvertently alter safety-critical settings.

Practical guidelines

  • Direct code entry (generic 4‑digit universals like ST‑620+):
    1. Power the TV on manually.
    2. Hold SET until LED stays on, press TV.
    3. Enter 1508; confirm with LED blink; test Power, Volume, Menu, Source.
    4. If incomplete, try 1311 → 0618 → 1163 → 0039.
  • Auto-search (when code entry fails):
    1. TV on; SET (hold) → TV.
    2. Hold POWER; release immediately when TV turns off.
    3. Press SET to store; then test all keys. If only Power works, resume search to the next match.
  • For UEI/One‑For‑All remotes:
    • Try TV 10156 first, then 10178, 10060, 10154. Use the remote’s setup sequence (e.g., hold SETUP until two blinks, enter code, test).
  • Verification tips:
    • Check the remote’s IR LED via a phone camera (should flash when pressing keys).
    • Replace weak batteries; avoid strong sunlight on the TV’s IR window during setup.

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

  • Codes are remote‑brand specific: if your remote expects 3‑, 4‑, or 5‑digit codes, use the matching list above. A “wrong-length” number will be rejected even if it represents the same IR set in another brand’s database.
  • Some code entries power-cycle correctly but map navigation keys incorrectly; keep stepping through alternates until Menu/Arrows/OK and Source are correct.

Suggestions for further research

  • Check your universal remote’s exact model to look up its manufacturer’s code list; search for “Toshiba 40L2433D” or “Vestel 17MB82 Toshiba code.”
  • If you still have the original remote, a learning universal can clone every key for 100% match.
  • Replacement remotes labeled for Toshiba 2013–2014 Vestel chassis will also work without programming.

Brief summary

  • Start with 1508 (ST‑620+ and most 4‑digit universals).
  • Alternatives: 1311, 0618, 1163, 0039 (4‑digit); 516/617 family (3‑digit); 10156/10178/10060/10154 (5‑digit UEI).
  • Use auto‑search if direct entry gives only partial control.
  • Ensure clear line-of-sight and fresh batteries for reliable IR operation.
