Having trouble finding the code for Philips DVD player. I have GE Remote we-1232C.
I’m trying to program my remote (cl3) and it doesn’t seem to want to work with my Apple TV with either of the apple codes. I also can’t get it working with my Vizio soundbar with any of the Vizio codes. It got to the point with the auto search that it would change the input if I turned the power on and off but that was the only function it would do. Please help. Thanks!

If nothing happens, press TV, then press power. Repeat until TV turns off
