Sorry…don’t think it’s even available online (did a quick search and found nothing). I’d call Target’s help line and hammer on them.

Are you aware of a site/link to download the manual for a Trutech PLV3119S1 LCD DVD PC Monitor? I am not able to use the Trutech as a monitor when connected to my laptop. Screen says no signal. Yes i used the function button to choose PC in.

Can you remove the comment from: Steven P.q says: May 6, 2011 at 2:54 pm please?
It is deliberately inflammatory just to get people to click on it and it is really a link to webpage called StopCrying.com – they are using this comment thread to advertise their site.
Thanks, Ayn

I bought a trutech dvd for the car. Two screens. I’ve only owned it for 8 months and probably only had my kids use it for 14 or 15 times in that 8 months. Now it doesn’t work at all. It will not read the dvd’s, but will however play MP3 music…who gets this. I’m trying to find somewhere that I can contact to let trutech know what a horrible product this was and to let them know it no longer works after 8 months. I would like in return for trutech to send me a replacement unit. Do you think this may be possible.

I bought my TruTech ZV450TT8 DVD & VCR combo recorder for $10.00 to use only as a player for my extensive VHS collection-which I’m converting to DVDs- something to do since retiring. I am an pld geek type and it took me forever (as in too long) to find that Funai universal remote codes turns the unit on/off and works the dvd player. I’M SO GLAD I DIDN’T BUY NEW-THANKS FOR THE POSTS!

Thanks for this post, I am on my second universal remote trying to find a replacement for our Trutech remote that is no longer working properly (power button is dead and the channel and volume buttons occasionally work). Both of the universal remotes I bought have had a code for Trutech and they appear to program when I follow all the instructions, yet the remotes don’t work. I think I will stop trying to find a replacement and change the channels the old fashion way until the set breaks and I buy a new one.

Ahh no, that was the entire point of the post! No universal remotes work with Trutech.

I have lost the remote for my granddaughters 19″ TruTech TV/DVD. Is there a code for the universal remote??

I purchased 2 19″ tv/dvd combo, 1 for my husband and I and one for our son about 5 or 6 years ago for Christmas. We have not had any issues with the tv’s, however both of our remotes recently stopped working. My son’s I think is from the abuse of a teenager throwing it around, ours just stopped working. We have a universal remote but I can’t get it to work, so now I am on a hunt for a new remote, because it is very annoying to go old school and physically change the channel or set the timer.
