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 two methods you can use to program your remote control to operate your components: Direct Code Entry and Manual Code Search and Entry. Most components can be programmed in one of these ways. Try them in the order listed. In order to control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you must program both the TV key and the VCR or DVD key. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR or DVD key controls the VCR or DVD functions. 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 VCR or DVD keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods for both the TV and the VCR or DVD keys. Programming Methods 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 the Manual Code Search method to program the remote control. (Refer to page 6 for Manual Code Search method.) 3. Press and hold the component key (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT·CBL) you wish to program. The LED indicator light turns on and remains on. If you release the component LED key any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the LED indicator light blinks four times, and the process is exited.  CR450_NA_IB_02.indd 4 1/30/07 1:01:27 PM
