I have a Direct TV satalite system with a Sony model # SAT 82 Digital
Satelite receiver and remote.  I have a older Sansui TV with a VCR
built into it.  I am tryint to program the sony remote to control the
TV also but I hsve no code #'s to use for programming the remote to
this Sansui TV.  Do you have the proper codes?

The model is most likely a SATB2.

The remote should be the RM-Y129. Sansui TVs are not listed, only
VCRs, you may be able to control some of the functions.

Good luck

I've spent 19 years in the cable/satelite television field and have
NEVER found any TV/VCR combo to work with the codes in programmable
remotes. I have found that the codes for the manufacturers VCR's will
work the most features (power included), but NEVER the volume (due to
the fact that VCR's don't have volume controls).
But, the volume can be generally be controlled on the satelite
reciever itself. To get the widest range of volume available without
distortion turn the volume on the sat. reciever at the highest level
and manually turn the TV volume to the highest level you'll ever need
then control the range on the sat. reciever.
A few final points:
1. Sometimes too high a volume on the TV and too low a volume on the
sat. reciever will cause a "hum" on the TV speakers
2. If the TV loses power it will need to be reset manually
3. The sat. reciever remote will almost never be able to access the
menu features (OnScreen date and time functions as well as timer
recordings)of the remotes that are programmed into it (ALWAYS store
the original remotes without batteries but keep remote and fresh
batteries handy for when you need them)
