Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if

any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. This saves your battery life should

your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as

between sofa cushions.

Tip:

This remote is already programmed to operate many Samsung-branded TVs

and DVD players, RCA-branded VCRs, Tivo-branded DVRs, DIRECTV-branded

satellite, and Sony-branded audio receivers. Just press the corresponding key—

DVD for a DVD player, TV for a television, VCR•AUX2 for a VCR, SAT•CBL•DTC for

a satellite receiver, DVR•AUX1 for a DVR, and AUDIO for an audio receiver.

Your universal remote requires three AAA alkaline batteries (not included).

To install the batteries:

1.

Remove the battery compartment cover.

2.

Insert the batteries, matching the (+) and (–) marks

inside the battery compartment.

3.

Push the battery cover back into place.

Battery Precautions:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)

batteries.

• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or

dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment system, first you need

to program it to control your devices. There are four ways you can program the

universal remote to operate your devices:

•

The

Auto Code Search

goes automatically through all the codes for the

device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest method, but it can sometimes

take longer than some of the other programming methods.

•

The

Brand Code Search

searches through the codes for select brands of

devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code search, but it can be faster.

•

The

Direct Code Entry

lets you enter a code from the accompanying code

list for your brand of device. It’s not as easy as the other methods, but it’s

potentially the fastest method.

Note:

Direct Code Entry is usually the best

method to use for audio devices.

•

The

Manual Code Search

lets you manually go through all the codes for

the device you’re trying to control

.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1.

Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some device

features don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.

2.

Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning. When your device

turns off, do not stop searching. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to

press the SLOW key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.

3.

Once the unit turns back on, press the SKIP BACK key on the remote every 2

seconds until your device turns off again. When your device turns off again,

press the OK key.

4.

Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the

device’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of

the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not

give maximum functionality, try another code.

Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes for the device

you’re trying to control. When you find the one that operates your device, you

can stop the search and store that code.

TIPS:

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is preset

to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers, digital TV converters,

or cable boxes, DVD for DVD players, DVR•AUX1 for DVRs, AUDIO for audio

receivers, and VCR•AUX2 for VCRs.

To program the DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2 keys for a different type of device, see

the

Reassigning the DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2 key

section.

To control combo devices, like TV/DVDs and TV/VCRs, you need to program each

key separately. Each key will control that part of the combo device.

If the original remote control that came with your device has separate ON and

OFF keys (instead of a single POWER key), the Auto Code Search might not work

with that device. Try the Direct Code Entry method described later in this manual.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto Code Search, press

the EXIT key.

1.

Manually turn on the device you want to control.

2.

Press and hold the device key you want to program

(the POWER key illuminates). While you’re holding

down the device key, use your other hand to press

and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same time

(the POWER key turns off).

3.

Wait until the POWER key comes on and stays on.

Then release both keys.

4.

Point the remote directly at the front panel of the

device you want to control. Press SLOW on the remote

and wait 5 seconds. The remote is testing a batch of 10

codes on your device.

Did your device turn off?

YES:

Go to step 5.

NO:

Press SLOW again. The remote tests the next

batch of 10 codes.

Keep pressing SLOW every 5 seconds until your device

turns off.

5.

When your device turns off, press the SKIP BACK

key on the remote and wait at least 2 seconds. The

remote tries the last of the previous ten codes.

Did your device turn on?

YES:

Press the OK key. You’re done! You’ve

programmed this device key.

NO:

Press SKIP BACK again. The remote tests the

next code in the batch.

Keep pressing SKIP BACK every 2 seconds until your

device turns back on. When it does, press OK.

Note:

If you accidentally press the SKIP BACK key after

your device turns on, press the SKIP FWD key. Then,

wait two seconds to see if your device turns off again.

NOTES:

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote

pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are currently programming the

remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device key is programmed

with the correct code for maximum functionality. If some features don’t work,

try a different code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality”

section below for more information.

During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part

of the search.

The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key blinks four times and

the last programmed code under that device key is retained).

The POWER key blinks four times when the remote has gone through all the

codes. The remote exits the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off

yet, try a different search method.


1.

Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some device

features don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.

2.

Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When the device turns

off for the first time, don’t press the OK key, which would store the same

code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the SKIP FWD key

repeatedly until the unit turns back on.

3.

Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code that operates the

device. Press the OK key.

4.

Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the

device’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of

the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not

give maximum functionality, try another code.

Brand Code Search

The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of the select brands

listed in the accompanying code list. If your brand of device is listed, this search

can be very quick and easy.

IMPORTANT:

The Brand Code Search works for TVs, VCRs, DVD players, satellite

receivers, cable boxes, and audio devices. The Brand Code Search does not work

for programming this remote to control DVRs and digital TV converter boxes.

Use a different programming method for these kinds of devices.

program, and find your brand in that section. Circle

the codes for your brand and keep them handy.

NOTES



try a different code in the list.

Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box provided in the

Code Retrieval section of this manual.

If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code Search methods

to program the remote control. (Refer to the Auto and Manual Code Search

methods.)

If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure,

the POWER key blinks four times and the process is exited. The last

programmed code under the device key is retained.

4.

When you’ve finished entering the five-digit code, keep holding down the

device key and look at the POWER key.

Is the POWER key illuminated?

YES:

You’re done! You’ve programmed this device key.

NO, it blinked four times and turned off:

You have either entered a

code number that is not in the code lists or missed a step in the code entry

procedure. Try step 3 again.

Manual Code Search

The Manual Code Search takes you one-by-one through all the codes for the device

you’re trying to control. When you find the one that operates your device, you stop

the search and store that code.

TIPS:

The Manual Code Search method may take a long time because the remote

searches through all of the codes in its memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in

the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code

Entry method.

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is preset to search

for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers, digital TV converters, or cable

boxes, DVD for DVD players, DVR•AUX1 for DVRs, AUDIO for audio receivers,

and VCR•AUX2 for VCRs.
