GO BACK exits remote programming; it also performs the same functions as on your original remotes. The INPUT and - (dash) key has three functions: (1) it toggles through all the video sources connected to your TV; (2) when the remote is in VCR mode, this button toggles between VCR and the TV input; (3) when you're entering digital channel numbers directly, this button lets you separate the main channel number from the sub-channel number (such as 59.1). IMPORTANT Because this remote controls more than one device, you must first "tell" the remote which device you wish to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until you press a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must press the DVD•VCR key to change device modes. Backlighting Backlight illumination helps you see the remote control keys better in the dark. You can turn backlight illumination on or off by pressing the LIGHT key ( ). Backlighting stays on as long as keys are being pressed and turns off six seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time has timed out, any keypress will reactivate it. If the backlight illumination is on, and you press the backlight key, the backlight turns off. Advanced Functions 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. POWER key 1.

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•
STREAM
,
DVD•VCR
) whose code you
wish to retrieve. The
POWER
key turns on. Keep pressing
the device key.
IMPORTANT
Because this remote controls more than one device,
you must first “tell” the remote which device you wish
to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV,
you must first press the TV key to put the remote in the
TV Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until
you press a different device key. For example, if your
remote is in TV Mode and you want to operate the DVD
player, you must press the DVD•VCR key to change
device modes.
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•
STREAM
,
DVD•VCR
). 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 AA 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.
Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.
•
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing
the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•
STREAM
,
DVD•VCR
). This tells the remote which device to operate.
•
Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has
a disc loaded).
•
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is
in.
•
If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try
pressing the OK key after entering the channel number as
this is a requirement of certain models and brands.
