Re-setting volume/mute code on Tivo V6 remote

I would like to restore the default setting on my RC.

Several years ago, I altered the code to suit my Sharp TV, but now this TV is faulty and needs replacing.

I can remember using the CLR/TV buttons  to enter the appropriate code and would now like to reverse this procedure to restore the original code, but what is this code?

I can see that there is an on-screen function to re-set the RC, but would this delete all my recordings?

    Thanks for the reply.  I know the procedure for RC reset, but would this remove all my recordings?  I wouldn't mind this, but my wife wouldn't be pleased!

    Currently we do not have a working TV and I am using a computer monitor to get by.  The monitor does not have a facility for controlling sound remotely and I need to restore this function to the Tivo box, without making any other alterations.

    I have installed the Tivo app on my phone and this works very well, apart from not having the essential volume/mute functions!

      Sorry to hear this,  however the way currently is via the link.

      What is wrong with the TV, is the physical box or the TV handset?

        The TV switches itself off, a few seconds after switching on, either by using the ON/OFF button on the TV or on the Tivo remote. I don't think there can be much wrong with the TV, but finding and/or replacing the faulty component could prove tricky.  Many years ago and before TVs were computerized, I was able to fix problems myself.  Nowadays we live in a throwaway age! 

        I still don't know if  re-setting the RC would delete all the recordings.  Also, when I originally put in the code (0170) for my Sharp TV, what was the code that was over-written? If I knew this, then I could then restore/re-set the handset to its original condition.

        As I stated earlier, the Tivo app works fine on my phone but I don't understand why volume/mute was left out.
