Code Search If your device does not respond after you have tried all the codes for your brand, or if your brand is not listed, try searching for your code by following these steps. 1. Manually turn on the device (TV, DVR, etc.) to be controlled. 2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button. 3. Press and quickly release the desired mode button (TV, DVR, etc.). The red indicator blinks off once. 4. Press the CHAN+ button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks off with each button press. If you accidentally overshoot the code required, press the CHAN- button to backtrack through the library until the device changes channel. Pressing CHAN+ changes direction to forward again. 5. Press and release ENTER to install the code. Most users will store DVR codes under the DVR button, Cable codes under CABLE, etc. If (for example) you want to store a DVR code under CABLE, first follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry (page 7) and press CABLE in step 2 of Direct Code Entry, then enter ANY DVR code in step 3 of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps above for Code Search. Note: If the device does not have a CHAN+ button, use PLAY (DVR only) or POWER instead. Code Search starts from the currently stored three digit number under that mode. Sometimes the first code that "works" with your device may only allow limited functionality (e.g., the MENU button might not work). There may be a code that performs more functions. Continue the code search process until the best code is found.
