To program these keys to control a different kind of device, you have to reassign them first. Reassigning the DVD•VCR Key to Control a VCR The DVD•VCR key defaults to control a DVD player. If you want the DVD•VCR key to control a VCR, you must reassign it. 1. Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The POWER key turns on. Keep holding down the DVD•VCR key. 2. While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and release the number 2 key on the keypad. The POWER key turns off. 3. Release the DVD•VCR key. The POWER key blinks four times and then turns off. The DVD•VCR key is now set to control a VCR. 4. Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or manual code search to program the DVD•VCR key for your VCR. Reassigning the DVR•AUX Key To Control Other Devices The DVR•AUX key defaults to control a DVR. If you want the DVR•AUX key to control a different device (an additional TV, DVD, satellite, digital TV converters or streaming media players, or cable box, for example), you must reassign it. 1. Press and hold the DVR•AUX key. The POWER key turns on. 2. While holding down the DVR•AUX key, press and release the number key on the keypad for the device you wish to control (see the chart below). The POWER key turns off. DVR•AUX KEY CONTROLS: Additional TV VCR or DVR Additional DVD Additional satellite, digital TV converters or streaming media players, or cable box press 1 press 2 press 3 press 5 3. Release the DVR•AUX key. The POWER key blinks four times and then turns off. The DVR•AUX key is now set to control the device type you selected. 4. Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or manual code search to program the DVR•AUX key. Code Retrieval Once you've programmed the remote to control your devices, you may want to record the codes for future reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just find the codes you entered and make a note of them in the boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method but don't remember the code, you will need to retrieve each device's five-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing it down will save you time if you ever need to program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you change the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your devices, which is quick and easy. 1. Press and hold the device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX) whose code you wish to retrieve. The POWER key turns on. Keep pressing the device key. 2. While holding the device key down, press and hold the INFO key. The POWER key turns off. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the POWER key turns back on. 3. Release both keys. The POWER key remains on. 4. Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then 0. The number that causes the POWER key to blink is the first number of the code. As you find each number of the code, write it down for future reference. Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR and DVR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; and all satellite receivers, digital TV converters or streaming media players, and cable boxes, the number 5. 5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in the code. After the fourth number is retrieved, the POWER key blinks briefly, then turns off. TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the CLEAR key. Note: If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval process, the remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX, INFO, CLEAR), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The POWER key blinks four times, and then turns off. TV CODE SAT•CBL•STRM CODE 1 5 SAT CABLE DTV CONVERTER DVD•VCR CODE DVR•AUX CODE DVD VCR DVR/VCR DVD TV SAT•CBL•STRM Troubleshooting Problem: The remote does not operate your device. • Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate. • Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make sure you're aiming the remote at the device's IR sensor. • Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if necessary (see the Battery Installation section). Problem: The remote can't be programmed to operate your device. • If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may be too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the device. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at the device you're trying to control. • If you're using the Direct Entry programming method to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning properly, try the auto, brand, or manual search method. • To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must program the individual corresponding device keys to control each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV functions, and the DVD•VCR key controls the VCR or DVD functions. • Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
