This 42" plasma TV is sold throughout Germany in stores such as Media Markt, Real-, etc. (also sold under the "LIFE" brand). The original remote uses discrete codes and toggle functions. The attached documentation shows codes for the remote control in Word format, and also includes all RECS80 codes in an Excel Spreadsheet. The RECS80 code may function on some Thomson plasma TVs, as the Medion is an OEM model.
