6. Press and release the

ON·OFF

key

repeatedly until your component turns

off. Each time you press the

ON·OFF

key,

the illuminated component name 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 illuminated component

name blinks four times and turns off, all

codes have been searched. The Manual

Code Search method is exited.)

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

illuminated component name turns

off. You must press the

STOP

key to

save the code or the correct code will

not be stored!

8.

When you press the

STOP

key, the code

is stored.

9. Be sure to retrieve the code your remote

programmed by finishing the Code

Retrieval process found on page 10.

TIP

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.

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

Method on page 6), 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.

Auto Code Search and Entry

The Auto Code Search and Entry Method enables the remote to

automatically search through all the codes in the Code Lists for the

one that operates your component. Example used is for TV component

set up.

Note:

The Auto Code Search method may take a long time because

the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory for the

code that operates your component. Therefore, 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 described on pages 4-6.

To exit without saving at any point in the Auto

Code Search, press and release the

GO BACK

key.

!

TIP

1. Manually turn on the component you

want the remote to control (TV, VCR,

DVD, satellite receiver or cable box).

2. Press and hold the component key (

TV,

DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL

) you wish to

program. (To program the

VCR·AUX

key

to control a component other than a VCR,

see page 7.) The illuminated component

name turns on and remains on.

3. While holding the component key down,

press and hold the

ON·OFF

key. The

illuminated component name turns off.

4. After holding down both keys for three

seconds, all of the component names

illuminate and stay on.

7. When your component turns off, you

know the correct code is in the last block

of 10 codes sent. Press and release the

REVERSE

key. Wait two seconds to see if

your component turns on again. If your

component does not respond, continue to

press the

REVERSE

key every two

seconds until your component turns on

again. This will isolate the correct code in

the last block of codes sent. Each time the

REVERSE

key is pressed, the illuminated

component name blinks.

Note:

If you accidentally press the

REVERSE

key after your component

responds, press and release the

FORWARD

key. Then, wait two seconds to see if your

component turns off again.

8. Once your component turns on, you have

found the correct code. You must save

the new code by pressing and releasing

the

STOP

key. The illuminated

component name turns off. You must

press the

STOP

key to save the code or

the correct code will not be stored!

9.

When you press the

STOP

key, the code

is stored.

5. Release both keys. The name of the current component remains lit,

while all other component names turn off.

Note:

If you press an invalid key during the Auto Code Search,

the remote does not respond. If you do not press a valid Auto Code

Search key (

TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL, ON·OFF, GO BACK,

PLAY, REVERSE, STOP

), the search times out after two minutes.

When the search times out, the illuminated component name blinks

four times and turns off. The last programmed code under that

component key is retained.

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

remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently

programming the remote to control.

6. Press and release the

PLAY

key, then wait five seconds to see if

your component turns off. If your component does not respond,

continue to press the

PLAY

key every five seconds until your

component turns off. Each time you press the

PLAY

key, the

illuminated component name blinks and a block of 10 codes are

sent to your component. This process continues until all of the

codes in the Code Lists have been searched. (If your component has

not turned off after all codes have been searched, the illuminated

component name blinks four times and turns off. The Auto Code

Search Entry method is exited.)

10.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. See the section entitled “Testing the Code for Maximum

Functionality” on page 8 for more information.
