There’s a special kind of satisfaction in keeping a classic, reliable piece of tech running perfectly. Sanyo has been a trusted TV brand in homes for generations, and if your original remote has finally retired, pairing it with a modern ONN universal remote is the best way to keep that great picture in your life.
My name is Chris, and I’ve created this definitive guide for Sanyo TV owners. Below, you’ll find a community-tested list of codes, a new visual quick-guide, and an essential pro tip that can solve even the most stubborn setup problems.
Expert Insight from Chris: Here’s the most important tip for Sanyo TVs. For many years, Sanyo TVs were manufactured by a company called Funai, which also made TVs for brands like Emerson and Sylvania. If you try all the Sanyo codes and the auto-search without success, your next step should be to try the codes from our ONN Remote Codes for Emerson TV guide. This is the secret trick that almost always works!
