Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your components,

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

programmed in 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 component’s four-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 components,

which is quick and easy. Example used is for TV component set up.

1. Press and hold the component key (

TV,

DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL

) whose code

you wish to retrieve. The illuminated

component name turns on.

2. While holding the component key down,

press and hold the

INFO

key. After

holding both keys down for three

seconds, all of the component names

illuminate and stay on.

3. Release both keys. The name of the

current component remains on, while all

other component names turn off.

2. Starting with the number

1

key, press

and release each number key on the

keypad in the following order (

1-9

, then

0

). The number that causes the

illuminated component name to blink is

the first number of the code. As you find

each number of the code, refer to the

code boxes to write them down for future

reference.

Note:

All TV codes begin with the number

1; all VCR codes begin with the number 2;

all DVDs, the number 3; and all satellite

receivers and cable boxes, the number 5.

3. Repeat step 5 until you have retrieved all

four numbers in the code.

4. After the fourth number is retrieved, the

illuminated component name blinks

briefly, then turns off.

Code Retrieval

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 or VCR, auxiliary component,

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.

TIP

Note:

If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval process,

the remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid Code Retrieval

key (

TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL, INFO, GO BACK

), Code

Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The illuminated component name

blinks four times, and then turns off.

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. Example used is for TV

component set up.

To use a component’s on-screen menu system, you first have to put

the remote in Menu Mode.

1. Make sure your components are turned on and your TV is set to

the component’s input mode (Use the

INPUT

key to toggle

through inputs when in TV Mode.)

Exiting a Menu Mode

The remote automatically times out of Menu Mode after 10 seconds of

inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that time, the remote clears the

displayed menu from the TV.

If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the corresponding

component key on the remote (

TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL

). The

illuminated component name turns off.

On-screen Menus

2. Press the component key whose menu

you want to access.

3. Press the

MENU

key. The illuminated

component name blinks, indicating you

are in the Menu Mode.

4. Use the

VOL+/-

and/or

CH+/-

keys

to navigate through the on-screen

menu system.

5. To make a selection from the on-screen

menu, press the

MENU

or

OK

key to

select the highlighted item.

If the remote doesn’t respond,

check to see that the illuminated component

name is still blinking. Remember: it times

out after 10 seconds. If this happens, just

press the

MENU

key again, and then retry

your selection.

Note:

Menu Mode support in TV Mode is

dependent on the TV Code. The following

TV codes are supported:

RCA –

Codes 1000, 1181, 1203

SONY –

Code 1218

JVC –

Code 1242

Panasonic –

Code 1170

Toshiba –

Code 1072 (HDTV),

Code 1109 (non-HDTV)

Sharp –

Code 1173

Menu Mode is supported for all brands of

DVD players and satellite receivers, and is

not supported for VCRs or CABLE.
