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 control
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, TV/DVDs
or TV/VCR/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 or VCR·AUX key controls the DVD or VCR
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 or VCR·AUX keys. If this is
unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods for both the
TV and the DVD or VCR·AUX keys.
VCR·AUX KEY
Important:
The VCR·AUX key defaults to program a VCR. If you
want the VCR·AUX key to control a component other than a VCR
(an additional TV or DVD, for example), it is necessary for you to
preprogram the VCR·AUX key. See the section entitled "Programming
the VCR·AUX Key To Control a Component Other Than a VCR"
on page 6.
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, DVD, VCR and satellite receiver 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 that follow.
Follow these instructions to program your remote using the Brand
Code Search and Entry method.
TIP:
GO BACK !
in the Brand Code Search, press and release
the 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.
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Brand Code Search, the
remote does not respond. If you do not press a valid Brand Code
Search key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL, ON·OFF, GO BACK, and
number keys 0-9), the search times out after two minutes. When the
search times out, the illuminated ON·OFF key blinks four times and
turns off. The last programmed code under that component key
is retained.
3. Press and hold the component key (TV,
SAT·CBL DVD DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) you wish to
TV
program. (To program the VCR·AUX key
to control a component other than a
VCR·AUX
VCR, see page 6). The illuminated
ON·OFF key turns on and remains on.
4. While holding the component key down,
ON·OFF
press and hold the ON·OFF key. The
illuminated ON·OFF key turns off.

5. After holding both keys down for three
ON·OFF
seconds, the illuminated ON·OFF key
turns back on.
(ON)
6. Release both keys. The illuminated
ON·OFF key remains on.
7. Refer to the Brand Codes in the enclosed
Code Lists. Press and release the
appropriate brand code key (Numbers
0-9), using the number keys on the
keypad. The illuminated ON·OFF key
blinks once.
ON·OFF
!
TIP: Throughout the programming of
each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed
at the IR sensor of the component you are
currently programming the remote to control.
(BLINK)
8. Press and release the ON·OFF key
repeatedly until your component turns
off. Each time you press the ON·OFF key,
the illuminated ON·OFF key blinks, and
the next code is sent. The Brand Code
ON·OFF
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
(BLINK)
have found the correct code. (If it cycles
through and the illuminated ON·OFF key
blinks four times and turns off, all codes
in the chosen brand lists have been
searched and another programming
method should be tried. The Brand Code
Search mode is exited.)
9. Once you have found the correct code,
STOP
you must save that code by pressing and
releasing the STOP key. The illuminated
ON·OFF key turns off.
You must press the STOP key to save the
ON·OFF
code or the correct code will not
be stored!
10. To confirm that the component key
(OFF)
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 with
a different programming method.
Direct Code Entry
To program your universal remote to control your components using the
Direct Code Entry Method, follow the steps below.
1. Manually turn on the component you
want the remote to control (TV, VCR,
DVD, satellite receiver or cable box).
2. Locate the enclosed Code Lists. Find the
list for the component you wish to
program. Find your component's brand.
You will see a listing of four-digit codes
for each brand. If your brand isn't listed,
use one of the Code Search methods to
SAT·CBL DVD
TV
program the remote control. (Refer to
pages 7-8 for Manual and Auto Code
VCR·AUX
Search methods.)
3. Press and hold the component key (TV,
DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) you wish to
ON·OFF
program. (To program the VCR·AUX key
to control a component other than a VCR,
see page 7.) The illuminated ON·OFF key
(ON)
turns on and remains on. If you release
the component key any time during the
ON·OFF
Direct Code Entry procedure, the
illuminated ON·OFF key blinks four
times, and the process is exited. The last
programmed code under the component
key is retained.
