|
|
Just got the opportunity to trade my 14 month old Vizio (VX37LHDTV10A)for the new one (VO37LHDTV10A) at Costco. I see it has a completely different OEM remote. Does anyone have any experience with the new model? Did/will all the codes (and device code) change, or will my existing upgrade be compatible? |

I probably won't make the swap for a few days. I did find out a few things. The remote supplied with the TV is a minimal single device remote. An optional remote (VR8 - $49.95) is universal (4 device), programmable, and a learner. It only has 49 keys.
There is a statement that it is compatible for all Vizio LCD, but I don't know whether it is with the same code or multiple codes... |

But regardless, with your JP1 setup, you should have no trouble creating an upgrade for the new set if you find that it doesn't respond to your old upgrade. _________________ Rob

100% compatible!
A different remote, revised input configuration, vastly improved sound, IMHO better picture, more picture control functionality, and best of all -$100 cheaper! |
