Chunghop Universal Remote Codes — Complete List for All TV Brands + Programming Guide (2026)

You just picked up a Chunghop remote — or maybe you’ve had one for years and lost the manual. Either way, you’re here because you need the right Chunghop universal remote codes to get your TV, DVD player, or air conditioner working. You’re in the right place.

Chunghop remotes use 3-digit, 4-digit, or 5-digit codes depending on the model. The same Samsung TV might need code 618 on an RM-88E and code 021 on an RM-133E — which is exactly why most online guides leave people frustrated. This article covers every code, every model, and every programming method in plain text tables you can actually use.

CHUNGHOP Electronics Industrial Co. Ltd has been manufacturing remote controls since 1996 and is one of the world’s largest OEM remote producers. Their lineup is compatible with 1,100+ device brands spanning TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and even air conditioners. The most popular models you’ll see are the RM-88E, RM-133E, RM-139E, H-1880E, and the dedicated AC remote K-1028E.

Let’s get straight to the code.

Chunghop Universal Remote Codes — All TV Brands (3, 4 & 5 Digit)

Before you start entering codes, confirm which digit format your remote uses. 3-digit codes work with models including the RM-88E, RM-133E, RM-139E, RM-139EX, H-1080E, H-1880E, Q-33E, Q-X33E, RM-109E, RM-138E, RM-161SP, RM-168E, RM-398E, RM-A100, TR007, UR-113, UR-188, UR-306, UR-318, UR-320, and UR-328. 4-digit codes work with models including the RM-301E, RM-312, RM-366, RM-377E, RM-399C, RM-441E, RM-828, RM-860, RM-868, RM-889, E499, E772, and URC 03.

If you enter a 3-digit code on a 4-digit remote, it simply won’t work — no error, it just won’t register. Always confirm your model number (printed on the back of your remote) before selecting codes.

How to Program a Chunghop Universal Remote — 3 Methods

Method 1: Direct Code Entry (Recommended — Works on All Chunghop Models)

This is the fastest method when you already know the code for your TV brand from the tables above.

1. Turn ON the TV or device you want to control.
2. Insert fresh AA batteries into your Chunghop remote. Weak batteries cause failed programming even if the display looks normal.
3. Point the remote directly at the front of the device (within 3 feet for best results).
4. Press and hold the SET button for 3–5 seconds until the LED indicator light turns ON and stays solid.
5. Press the device button (TV, DVD, CBL, AUX, etc.) — the LED will blink once to confirm you’re in programming mode.
6. Enter your 3-digit or 4-digit code using the number keys. Enter digits one at a time.
7. Read the LED response:
   • LED turns OFF immediately = code accepted ✓
   • LED flashes 2 times = wrong code — try the next code from the list ✗
8. Test the remote by pressing POWER (device should turn off/on), then VOL+ and VOL-, then CH+ and CH-.
9. If all buttons work, press the device button once to save. The LED blinks twice to confirm the code is stored.

If LED flashes twice: Don’t panic. This just means that specific code isn’t a match for your TV. Go to the next code in the list for your brand and repeat from Step 4. Some brands have 8–12 possible codes — patience pays off.

Method 2: Auto Search (Best When You Don’t Know the Code)

Use this method if your brand isn’t in the code tables, the manual is lost, or none of the listed codes are working.

1. Turn ON the TV or device.
2. Press and hold the SET button and POWER button simultaneously until the LED indicator turns ON and stays solid.
3. Release both buttons — the remote is now in auto scan mode.
4. Point the remote at the device and press the CH+ button once every 2–3 seconds. Each press sends a different code signal to the device.
5. Stop immediately when the device turns OFF — this means the remote just sent the correct code.
6. Press the SET button to lock in and save the code.
7. Test all buttons (VOL, CH, POWER, MUTE) to confirm full compatibility.

Note: Auto search can require pressing CH+ anywhere from 10 to 300+ times depending on your brand. For rare or regional TV brands, this can take several minutes. If you reach the end of the code database without success, the LED will blink rapidly — start over with the device button for a different device type.

Method 3: Manual Scan / Search Method

This method works best on older Chunghop models and allows finer control over code scanning.

1. Press and hold the SET key for 3–5 seconds until the LED illuminates and stays ON.
2. Aim the remote directly at your TV or device.
3. Press VOL+ repeatedly, one press at a time — each press cycles through one code and transmits it.
4. Watch your TV screen — when the volume symbol appears on screen, it means the remote found a compatible code.
5. Immediately press the SET button to lock in the code.
6. Test all buttons to confirm full functionality before finishing.

Programming Button Differences by Model Group

Different Chunghop models use different button combinations to enter programming mode. Using the wrong combination will prevent your remote from entering setup mode at all. Find your model below:

Model Group	Chunghop Models	How to Enter Programming Mode
Group A	RM-88E, RM-133E, RM-139E, RM-139EX, H-1080E, H-1880E, Q-33E, Q-X33E, RM-109E	Hold SET key alone for 3–5 seconds
Group B	RM-233, RM-238, RM-332E, RM-426, RM-701E, RM-733, RM-810, RM-920E, RM-939E	Hold SET + TV keys together for 3–5 seconds
Group C	E499, E772, RM-301E, RM-312, RM-366, RM-377E, RM-399C, RM-441E, RM-828, RM-860, RM-868, RM-889	Hold VOL+ and CH+ keys together for 3–5 seconds
Group D	RM-90, ia4, RM-M82, RM-M86	Hold CODE SEARCH key for 3–5 seconds

“I don’t have a SET button!” — Some Chunghop models like the E-T908 (61 buttons) label it differently. Look for a button labeled SETUP, CODE, or a small circle icon. If no such button exists on your specific model, use the VOL+ + CH+ combination (Group C method) and see if the LED responds.

Chunghop Universal Remote Codes for Air Conditioners (AC) — K-1028E & K-2012E

Most online guides completely ignore this, but Chunghop makes one of the most popular universal AC remotes on the market. The K-1028E and the newer K-2012E are entirely separate products from the TV remotes and use a completely different programming system.

The K-1028E is marketed as a “1000-in-1” universal air conditioner remote compatible with over 1,000 AC brands including Gree, Midea, LG, Samsung, Daikin, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Panasonic, Sanyo, Sharp, Haier, Mitsubishi, TCL, Toshiba, Hisense, Whirlpool, and Hyundai. It features a large LCD display, backlight, built-in memory (settings survive battery replacement), clock, and timer functions. The K-2012E is the updated version with the same compatibility range.

AC Programming — 3 Methods

Method A — Brand Button (Fastest):

1. Ensure your AC unit is plugged in and switched on manually.
2. Aim the K-1028E directly at the AC unit’s infrared receiver (usually at the bottom of the indoor unit).
3. Find the dedicated brand button on the remote that matches your AC brand (e.g., GREE/HAIER, LG/SAMSUNG, SHARP/KELON, MITSUBISHI/MOTLEY).
4. Press and hold the brand button until the AC unit starts and emits a beep sound.
5. Release the button — setup is complete.

Method B — Auto Search:

1. Aim the remote at the AC unit.
2. Press and hold the SET button for 6 seconds until the code number on the LCD display changes by +1.
3. Release — the remote automatically cycles through codes every 2 seconds.
4. When the AC unit beeps or responds, immediately press OK to lock in the code.
5. If you press OK too late, hold SET for 3 seconds, then press TEMP– repeatedly until the AC beeps again, then press OK.

Method C — Manual Code Input:

1. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the code number blinks on the LCD.
2. Press TEMP+ or TEMP– to scroll to your brand’s code number.
3. When your AC unit emits a short beep, press OK to confirm and lock the code.

Table 5: Chunghop K-1028E Air Conditioner Brand Codes (Top 20)

AC Brand	Code Numbers
Gree	000, 020–039
Haier	001–019
LG	600–609
Panasonic / National	660–689
Mitsubishi	0001–0045
Fujitsu	700–719
Hitachi	640–659
Changhong	059–079
Chigo	080–099
Midea	040–058
Hisense	230–239
Aux	180–199
Electrolux	471–474
Carrier	399, 690–699
Hyundai	780–789
McQuay	790–795
Toshiba	107–117
Corona	760–769
Galanz	124–129, 134–139
Daikin / TCL / Samsung	Use Auto Search (Method B)

AC remote not responding? If no code works after trying Method B’s full auto scan, confirm the AC unit’s infrared receiver window is clean and unobstructed. The K-1028E’s memory function means you never need to reprogram after a battery change — but if the display shows a lock icon, hold the OK button to unlock it.

Chunghop Remote Not Working? Complete Troubleshooting Guide

This is the section no other Chunghop guide has written — specific problems with specific fixes, drawn directly from thousands of user reports.

Problem 1: LED flashes twice every time I enter a code

This always means one thing: wrong code. The remote received your input but compared it against its database and found no match. Fix: Move to the next code number in the brand list. Work through every code for your brand systematically — some brands have 12+ possible codes and the right one is often not the first one listed.

Problem 2: Code accepted (LED goes out) but only SOME buttons work

The code is partially compatible — it recognizes the brand but not the exact model variant. This is the most frustrating scenario and the most common. Fix: Try a different code from the same brand list. Chunghop remotes often have multiple code versions for the same brand (v.1, v.2, v.3). If you’re on a 3-digit remote, also verify whether your TV model year aligns with older or newer code databases. Try codes from the middle and end of the list, not just the first entry.

Problem 3: Power and volume work fine, but channel buttons do nothing

This is a version mismatch. The IR signal for POWER and VOL is the same across many TV generations, but CH+/CH– changed with newer model lines. Fix: Try every remaining code for your brand. If you exhaust the list, run the Auto Search method while specifically pressing CH+ as your test button during the scan.

Problem 4: My TV brand isn’t in the code list anywhere

Regional and budget TV brands (sold in Southeast Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe) frequently aren’t in standard Chunghop databases. Fix: First try the “All Other Brands” catch-all codes: 036, 044, 057, 073. Then run a full Auto Search. Also try codes for Goldstar (LG’s historical brand name) if you have an older LG, and Funai codes (521, 528) for Emerson, Sylvania, and some other budget brands — Funai manufactured TVs under multiple labels for years.

Problem 5: Code accepted, LED went out, but remote doesn’t control the TV at all

Don’t assume the code is wrong. The code was stored successfully — the issue is something else. Check these in order:

1. Battery voltage — replace with brand-new alkaline AA batteries. A remote can display fine on low batteries but fail to emit a strong enough IR signal.
2. IR path — is anything blocking the line between the remote and the TV’s sensor (usually bottom-center of the bezel)?
3. TV input mode — some TVs ignore IR signals when in certain HDMI or USB input states.
4. Remote reset — see the full reset procedure below.

Problem 6: Remote was working fine for months, suddenly stopped

The two most common causes are dead batteries and stuck buttons. Fix for batteries: Replace immediately. Even if the LED lights up, infrared output requires more current than the display. Fix for stuck buttons: Turn the remote over and tap it firmly against your palm several times. If a button is stuck in the depressed position, it sends a continuous false signal that overrides everything else. Clean around stuck buttons with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.

Problem 7: Smart TV won’t respond to any Chunghop code

Chunghop remotes — especially models like the RM-88E, RM-133E, and RM-139E — were primarily designed for the era of standard LCD/LED TVs. The Chunghop E-T919’s own manual explicitly states it is NOT compatible with: Internet-connected or app-binding Smart TVs, very new Smart TV models, and plasma TVs. Basic functions (power, volume, channel) may still work on some Smart TVs, but navigation menus, app launchers, and streaming controls will not. Fix: Use your Smart TV’s original remote for navigation and set the Chunghop remote for basic volume/power control only using the codes provided.

Problem 8: USB playback / media mode keys don’t work after programming

This is a hardware limitation, not a code problem. Most Chunghop remotes in the RM-88E and RM-133E class do not have dedicated USB media playback buttons (play, pause, next track, folder navigation). Entering a code won’t add buttons that don’t physically exist on the remote. Fix: If USB media navigation is important to you, the Chunghop H-1880E or a more feature-rich universal remote would be a better fit.

Chunghop Universal Remote Reset Guide

If your remote is behaving erratically, storing wrong codes, or not responding to programming at all, a full reset often resolves it.

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and remove both batteries.
2. Turn the remote face-down and firmly press every single button 3–4 times each. This discharges any residual capacitor energy.
3. Shake the remote gently with the battery compartment open to dislodge any debris.
4. Set the remote aside with no batteries for a minimum of 15 minutes.
5. Insert two fresh brand-name AA alkaline batteries (avoid cheap no-name batteries for initial setup).
6. Attempt programming from scratch using Method 1.

Chunghop vs Other Universal Remotes — How It Compares

Chunghop is the right remote for many people, but not everyone. Here’s an honest comparison to help you decide:

Table 7: Universal Remote Brand Comparison

Remote	Code Digits	Devices Supported	Best For	Approx. Price
Chunghop RM-88E	3-digit	TV, DVD, SAT	Budget single TV control	$5–$10
Chunghop H-1880E	3-digit	Up to 8 devices (TV, DVD, SAT, AUX)	Multi-device budget households	$8–$12
Chunghop K-1028E	AC codes (1,000+)	Air conditioners only	Replacing lost AC remote	$10–$15
GE Universal Remote	4–5 digit	TV, DVD, Blu-Ray, Cable	North American brand coverage	$12–$25
One For All Contour	4-digit	TV, Cable, SAT, Audio	European TV market	$15–$30
Logitech Harmony	Multi-device	270,000+ devices	Smart home, activities-based control	$30–$100+

Choose Chunghop when: You need a reliable, inexpensive replacement for a lost remote, you’re controlling standard LCD/LED TVs (especially older models), you live outside North America where Chunghop has better brand database coverage for regional TVs, or you need a simple AC replacement remote.

Consider upgrading when: You have a Smart TV and need full navigation control, you’re managing a 4+ device home theater system, or you want voice control or smart home integration.

Complete Chunghop Remote Codes for Specific Popular Models

Chunghop RM-88E Remote Codes

The RM-88E is Chunghop’s most recognized model — a 3-in-1 remote controlling TV, VCD, and DVD. It’s been sold globally for over a decade and remains the most-requested model in user forums. Programming uses a dedicated SETTING button (not SET on some other models): hold SETTING, then press the TV button, enter your 3-digit code, and the LED confirms acceptance.

The RM-88E features both manual code input and automatic code-searching functions. For the RM-88E specifically, these are the confirmed working 3-digit codes for the top brands:

Chunghop RM-133E Remote Codes

The RM-133E is another 3-in-1 remote with massive popularity across Southeast Asia, Africa, and South Asia. It’s particularly well-suited for Vizio, LG, Samsung, and Sony TVs common in those markets. Unlike the RM-88E, the RM-133E enters programming mode by holding SET and POWER simultaneously until the LED lights.

Key codes for the RM-133E:

Brand	RM-133E Codes
Vizio	524, 602, 481
Samsung	021, 024, 025, 033, 037, 008, 011
LG	480, 441, 412, 481, 454, 430, 420, 460
Sony	094, 106, 148, 041, 049, 005

Chunghop RM-139E / RM-139EX Remote Codes

The RM-139E and RM-139EX are dedicated TV remotes using 3-digit codes via the SET key method (Group A). They’re compatible with LCD, LED, and HD TVs but — critically — not compatible with old CRT TVs or Internet/app-binding Smart TV models.

A common frustration with the RM-139E: LG codes 024, 040, and 098 sometimes fail on newer LG models. If these don’t work, systematically try codes 417 through 426 and code 910 before running Auto Search.

Chunghop H-1880E Remote Codes

The H-1880E is Chunghop’s premium multi-device remote, supporting up to 8 different devices on a single remote. It uses 3-digit codes via the SET key method and is compatible with the full 1,100+ brand database. The H-1880E is the right choice if you’re replacing remotes for an entire entertainment setup — TV, DVD, cable box, soundbar, and more — from one unit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chunghop Remote Codes

Q1: What are the Chunghop universal remote codes for Samsung TVs?

A: The Chunghop remote codes for Samsung TVs depend on your remote model. For 3-digit models like the RM-88E, use codes 618, 619, 620, or 621. For 4-digit models like the RM-133E, try 021, 024, 025, 033, 037, 008, or 011. Start with 618 or 021 depending on your remote’s digit format. If the first code doesn’t work, try each subsequent code — Samsung has updated its IR protocol across generations, and newer Samsung TVs may require the 4-digit codes even on older Chunghop remotes.

Q2: What are the Chunghop remote codes for LG TVs?

A: For LG TVs on 3-digit Chunghop remotes, try 024, 040, or 098 first. If those fail (a common issue with newer LG models), work through codes 417 to 426 or try code 910. On 4-digit models, use 480, 412, 414, 415, 416, 417, 441, 481–484, 454, 430, 420, or 460. LG changed its IR signal format multiple times between 2010 and 2020, so older Chunghop models may have limited compatibility with 2018+ LG TVs. If no code works, run the Auto Search method.

Q3: How do I program my Chunghop remote without the code?

A: Use the Auto Search method. Turn on your TV, then hold the SET and POWER buttons together until the LED stays on. Point the remote at the TV and press CH+ one at a time — each press tests a new code. The moment your TV turns off, press SET to lock in that code. This method cycles through the entire Chunghop code database automatically without needing to know the specific brand code. It can take 2–10 minutes for uncommon TV brands but will find a compatible code if one exists in the database.

Q4: Why is my Chunghop remote not working after entering the code?

A: The three most common causes are: (1) Wrong code version — the LED accepted the code, but it’s a partial match. Try additional codes from your brand’s list. (2) Weak batteries — replace with fresh alkaline batteries even if the LED appears normal; IR transmission requires more power than the display. (3) Model group mismatch — you may be using the wrong button combination to enter programming mode. Check the Group A/B/C/D table above to confirm the correct method for your specific Chunghop model number.

Q5: What is the 3-digit code for a Chunghop RM-88E remote?

A: The RM-88E uses 3-digit codes. The most commonly needed codes are: Samsung: 618, 619, 620, 621 — LG: 024, 040, 098 — Sony: 041, 049, 005 — Panasonic: 020, 001, 002 — Hisense: 676, 677, 707, 898 — Philips: 013, 023, 024 — Sharp: 003, 018, 016. Start with the first code listed for your brand and work through them in order until the LED indicator turns OFF (confirming acceptance). The RM-88E enters programming mode by holding the SETTING button, not the SET button.

Q6: How do I reset my Chunghop universal remote?

A: Remove both batteries from the back of the remote. Press every button on the remote 3–4 times each to fully discharge any residual power. Leave the remote without batteries for at least 15 minutes. Then insert two fresh AA alkaline batteries and attempt programming from the beginning. This full discharge reset resolves most issues with corrupted stored codes, unresponsive buttons, and failed programming attempts.

Q7: Can Chunghop remotes control Smart TVs?

A: Partially. Chunghop remotes can control basic functions on most Smart TVs — power on/off, volume, channel up/down, and input switching. However, they cannot control Smart TV-specific features like app navigation, streaming menus, voice commands, or cursor movement. The Chunghop E-T919 manual explicitly states incompatibility with Internet/app-binding TVs. If you only need volume and power control alongside your Smart TV’s original remote, a Chunghop remote works well. For full Smart TV control, a smart universal remote like the Logitech Harmony is a better choice.

Q8: What is the difference between Chunghop RM-88E and RM-133E?

A: Both are 3-in-1 universal remotes using 3-digit codes, but they differ in programming method and regional popularity. The RM-88E enters programming mode by holding the SETTING button alone, then pressing TV — it’s more common in East and Southeast Asia. The RM-133E enters programming mode by holding SET and POWER simultaneously — it’s widely popular in South Asia and Africa. The RM-133E also has slightly better code coverage for Vizio and certain regional TV brands. Code numbers between the two models mostly overlap but aren’t identical.

Q9: Can I use one Chunghop remote for multiple devices?

A: Yes, depending on the model. The RM-88E and RM-133E are 3-in-1 remotes controlling TV, DVD, and VCD/SAT. The H-1880E supports up to 8 different devices simultaneously. Each device gets its own stored code, and you switch between devices by pressing the corresponding device button (TV, DVD, CBL, etc.) before issuing commands. Program each device separately using the steps in Method 1.

Q10: Where can I find the code list for my specific Chunghop model?

A: The code list included in this article covers the vast majority of Chunghop models. If you need the original manual for a specific model, visit the official Chunghop website at en.chunghop.com/service.html or email info@chunghop.com with your exact model number. The remote’s model number is printed on a label on the back. Remote Central (files.remotecentral.com) also hosts a large collection of original Chunghop manuals and code lists for over 192 documented models.

Q11: Why do some buttons work but others don’t after programming?

A: This is a code version compatibility issue — by far the most common complaint with Chunghop remotes. Different versions of a TV brand’s IR protocol (older models vs newer models) respond to different codes. When a “wrong version” code is accepted, the TV recognizes commands for POWER and VOL (which are the same across many generations) but ignores CH, MENU, and other function-specific commands that changed in newer firmware. Solution: Try the next code in your brand’s list. There is typically a code version that provides full button compatibility — you just need to find it by working through all listed codes.

Q12: Does Chunghop make a universal remote for air conditioners?

A: Yes — the Chunghop K-1028E and the newer K-2012E are dedicated universal AC remotes, marketed as “1000-in-1” controllers. They are entirely separate products from the TV remotes and use a different code system entirely. The K-1028E is compatible with virtually all major AC brands including Gree, Midea, LG, Samsung, Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Hitachi, and 1,000+ others. It features LCD display, timer, clock, fast cooling/heating modes, and built-in memory. See the full AC section above for programming instructions and brand codes.

Conclusion

With the right Chunghop universal remote codes in hand, you can replace virtually any lost TV, DVD, or AC remote in minutes. The 1,100+ device compatibility, the availability of 3-digit, 4-digit, and 5-digit code formats, and the three flexible programming methods mean there’s almost always a path to getting your remote working — even for uncommon regional TV brands.

If you’ve worked through every code in the tables for your brand and nothing is working, don’t give up: run the full Auto Search method and let the remote find its own code. Still stuck? Contact Chunghop directly at info@chunghop.com with your remote model number and your TV’s brand and model — they can often provide codes for devices not in the standard database.
