6. Press and release the

ON·OFF

key repeatedly until your

component turns off. Each

time you press the

ON·OFF

key, the LED indicator light

blinks, and the next code in

the list is sent. This process

continues until all of the codes

in the Code Lists have been

searched. If your component

turns off, you have found

the correct code. (If it cycles

through and the LED indicator

light blinks four times and

turns off, all codes have been

searched. The Manual Code

Search method is exited.)

LED

Tip:

Because there

are so many codes,

you may have to

press the

ON·OFF

key many times—

possibly up to 200

times.

7. Once you have found the

correct code, you must save

the new code by pressing and

releasing the

STOP

key. The

LED indicator light turns off.

You must press the

STOP

key

to save the code or the correct

code will not be stored!

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

To confirm that the component key is programmed with the

correct code for maximum functionality, it is necessary to test

the component. If some of the features of your component

do not work, different codes in the list can be tried until you

find the code that allows the remote to control the majority

of your component’s functions. Different codes can provide

different levels of functionality. Follow these steps to test

for maximum functionality, if you have programmed your

remote using the Manual Code Search and Entry Method.

1. Once the code has been stored (see Manual Code Search

and Entry Method above), use the remote to attempt

to control a variety of the component’s functions. If the

code that has been stored controls the majority of the

component’s functions, programming is complete. If the

code stored does not give maximum functionality, you

will want to try another code.

2. In that case, repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry

Method from step 1. When the component turns off for

the first time, do not press the

STOP

key, which would

store the code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to

press the

ON·OFF

key repeatedly until the unit turns back

on. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another

code that operates the component. Press the

STOP

key.

3. Test the functionality again by attempting to control

a variety of the component’s functions. If the code

that has been stored controls the majority of the

component’s functions, programming is complete. If the

code stored does not give maximum functionality, you

will want to try another code.

4. Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from

step 1. Each time a code turns the component on or off,

you have found a code that operates the remote and

needs to be tested for maximum functionality. Continue

through the code lists, cycling through the codes you have

already tried, until you find one that offers maximum

functionality.

Using the Remote to Control

Your Components

Because this remote controls more than one component,

you must first “tell” the remote which component 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 the chosen component mode (such

as TV Mode) until you change it. If your remote is

in TV Mode, you must change the mode in order to

operate your DVD, VCR, satellite receiver or cable box.

For example, if you are in VCR Mode, and you wish to

turn off your TV, you must press the

TV

key first before

pressing the

ON·OFF

key.

On-Screen Menus

Accessing and Selecting Menu Items

Today’s advanced components use on-screen menus

to help you navigate through all their features and

functions. While this remote cannot access every menu

system of every component model, it does offer some

menu functionality. To use a component’s on-screen

menu system, you first have to put the remote in Menu

Mode.

LED

1. Press the component key

whose menu you want to

access.

2. Press the

MENU

key. The

LED indicator light blinks,

indicating you are in the

Menu Mode.

3. Use the

VOL+/-

and/or

CH+/-

keys to navigate

through the on-screen menu

system.

4. To make a selection from the

on-screen menu, press the

MENU

or

OK

key to select

the highlighted item.

Tip:

If the remote doesn’t

respond, check to see that the

LED indicator light is still

blinking. Remember: the LED

indicator light times out after

20 seconds. If this happens, just

press the

MENU

key again,

and then retry your selection.

8. Once you press the

STOP

key, the code is stored.
