I'm a proud owner of the DAHW TVS 866 stereo amplifier speaker system(it's not a famous brand so searching on the net might return 0 results).
There's only very few controls on the speaker unit itself for power, volume, bass, treble and mic inputs . There was a remote control for additional controls such as tone, sound balance, and other features, until I lost it.

Problem: I've lost the original remote, and the sound balance is louder on the right side compared to the left. It's nothing to do with the cabling nor input because I remember adjusting the sound louder to the right before I lost the remote. Tested with switching the left/right input and still right side is louder.

Solution: Haven't found any yet. Can someone advise what can be done? Are there 'universal remotes' available in the market? Or any convenient and cheap solutions?

Barriers: I can't seem to be able to find a way to open the unit up, or at least not easy to do so even if I wanted to. I don't think anything can be done even if it's naked since the controls are internal and not on switches/knobs.


Thanks in advance...


Here's additional specs for the speakers from what's written behind if it may help:
Model No. TVS 866
Power Rating AC 220V-/50Hz
450 Watts.

your best bet would be to buy a replacement remote from the same model.

there area lot of universal remotes available on the market. However, they usually have preprogrammed codes only for commonly known brands of electronics goods (Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Denon, etc). Also, while programmable remotes also have a 'learning' function for brands not in the database, you will need the original remote for this.

Ooops.. I have no idea where am I going to ever find the remote for this model.. Well, will shop around. Thanks for the feedback!

logitech harmony baby!

is the DAHW TVS 866 in the Harmony database?

Wah how much would that thing cost me? I don't think I'll buy it but will b glad if I can borrow from someone as I only need to adjust the balance that's all.. There's nothing more to adjust on that speakers..

Any offers for rent? hehehe...

But agree a bit with SiriuslyCold, the DAHW TVS866 is such a 'cold' model, not sure if it's supported. I still havent checked with shops.. Will do it this Saturday.
