Programming the Remote

Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands of
components. In order for your universal remote to control
your components, you need to program the remote with the
codes that match the components (See Code Lists enclosed).
These codes enable the remote to communicate with your
components. Each brand and each component has its own
"language," and, by programming the correct codes into
your remote, you tell the remote to "speak the same language"
as your components.
There are four methods you can use to program your remote
to operate your components: Brand Code Search and Entry,
Direct Code Entry, Manual Code Search and Entry, and
Auto Code Search and Entry. Most components can be
programmed in one of these four ways. Try them in the
order listed.
In order to control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/
DVDs, you must program the individual corresponding
component keys to control each part of the combo unit.
Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV
functions on your unit, and the DVD•VCR and/or AUX key
controls the VCR or DVD functions, respectively. There is a
specific section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes
in this section should be tried first, using Direct Code Entry
on the TV and DVD•VCR keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow
the normal programming methods for both the TV and the
DVD•VCR or AUX keys.
Programming The AUX Key To Control
A Component Other Than A VCR
The AUX key defaults to control a VCR. If you want the AUX
key to control a different component (an additional TV, DVD,
satellite or cable box, for example), it is necessary for you to
preprogram the AUX key.
1. Press and hold the AUX key. The LED INDICATOR turns on.
2. While holding down the AUX key, press and release the
number key on the keypad for the component you wish to
control. (See the chart below.) The LED INDICATOR turns off.
AUX KEY CONTROLS:
Additional TV
VCR
Additional DVD
Additional satellite or cable box
3. Release the AUX key. The LED INDICATOR blinks four
times and then turns off. The AUX key is now "set" to
control whichever component you selected.
4. Next, program the AUX key to control the brand of
component you have. Remember to consult the appropriate
component code list. For instance, if you have programmed
the AUX key to control an additional DVD, consult the
DVD Code List. Program the key to control your component
with the Code List enclosed.

Programming Methods

Brand Code Search and Entry

If your brand is listed in the Brand Code List (See Code Lists
enclosed), you may be able to program your universal remote
by searching through only the Code Lists for that specific
manufacturer. Brand Code Search and Entry can be the quickest
method to program your remote, if your component (TV, VCR
and/or DVD, satellite receiver and/or cable box) is one of
those brands listed.
If your brand is not listed in the Brand Code List, use one of
the other programming methods: Direct Code Entry, Manual
Code Search and Entry or Auto Code Search and Entry.
Follow these instructions to program your remote using
the Brand Code Search and Entry method.

GO BACK key.
1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to
control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or cable box).
2. Locate the Brand Codes in the Code Lists and keep it handy.
If you press an invalid key during the Brand Code
Note:
Search, the remote does not respond and the search times
out after two minutes. When the search times out, the
LED INDICATOR blinks four times and turns off. The last
programmed code under that component key is retained.
3. If you are programming the remote to control your TV,
satellite receiver or cable box, go directly to step 5.
4. To program the remote to control a VCR or DVD. The
DVD•VCR key can control only one component, either your
VCR or your DVD. To program your remote to control either
your DVD or your VCR, you must first put the remote in
the proper programming mode. Follow these directions
before proceeding to step 5.
a. Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The LED
INDICATOR turns on.
b. While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and
release the number 2 key on the keypad to control a
VCR or the number 3 key to control a DVD. The LED
INDICATOR turns off.
c. Release the DVD•VCR key. The LED INDICATOR
blinks four times and then turns off. Your remote
is now either in VCR or DVD Programming Mode,
depending on which you chose. Proceed to step 5.
5. Press and hold the component key (TV, DVD•VCR,
SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The LED INDICATOR
turns on and remains on.
6. While holding the component key down, press and hold the
ON•OFF key. The LED INDICATOR turns off.
7. After holding both keys down for three seconds, the LED
INDICATOR turns back on.
8. Release both keys. The LED INDICATOR remains on.
9. Refer to the Brand Codes in the enclosed Code Lists. Press
and release the appropriate brand code key, using the
number keys on the keypad. The LED INDICATOR
blinks once.
Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to
!
TIP:
keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you
are currently programming the remote to control.
10. Press and release the ON•OFF key repeatedly until your
component turns off. Wait 4 seconds between each key press.
Each time you press the ON•OFF key, the LED INDICATOR
blinks, and the next code is sent. The Brand Code Search
begins with the first code in the chosen brand list for that
component and cycles through all the codes for that brand. If
your component turns off, you have found the correct code.
(If it cycles through and the LED INDICATOR blinks four
times and turns off, all codes in the chosen brand lists have
been searched. The Brand Code Search mode is exited.)
11. Once you have found the correct code, you must save that
code by pressing and releasing the STOP key. The LED
INDICATOR turns off. You must press the STOP key to
save the code or the correct code will not be stored!
12. To confirm that the component key is programmed with the
correct code for maximum functionality, test the component.
Attempt to control a variety of the component's functions
with the remote. If some of the features of your component
do not work, try programming the remote using the direct
code entry method.

Direct Code Entry
