Program a Jumbo Universal Remote for Vizio TV

A Universal Jumbo Remote isn't simply a large item to place on a coffee table. These remotes will actually control devices like television sets or DVD players. Before you can start using the Jumbo Universal Remote with a Vizio TV, however, you will first need to program that remote to the television. Since the manual for the remote doesn't list codes for Vizio TVs, you will need to utilize the remote's "Code Search" option.
