You may have to do a custom setup of the function by teaching the universal remote using the original.

Time consuming, but easy peasy. You can do it, bro.
Maybe universal remotes have come a long way since I've owned one ... I'm thinking maybe 5-6 years ago.
I have had no problem finding and programming the various device's program codes. The universal would work well with the basic functions such as turning the TV on/off, volume, channels, mute, Previous channel ... and with tthe DVD player on/off, eject/open tray, play/stop, FF, Pause, Slo-mo, Frame by frame.
But no matter which button I pressed on the remote I could not gain access to the "Menu/Settings" function of any device.
