Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1.

Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If

some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try

a different code.

2.

Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When

the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the

OK

key, which would store the same code. Instead, with

the unit now off, continue to press the

SKIP FWD

key

repeatedly until the unit turns back on.

3.

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

that operates the device. Press the

OK

key.

4.

Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has

been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions,

programming is complete. If the code stored does not give

maximum functionality, try another code.

Brand Code Search

The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of

the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your

brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy.

TIPS:

Each device key is associated with a type of device—

the TV is preset to search for TVs,

SAT•CBL•STRM

for satellite

receivers, digital TV converters,

streaming players,

or cable

boxes, DVD for DVD players, and DVR•AUX1 for DVRs,

AUDIO for audio receivers, and VCR•AUX2 for VCRs. To

program a device key for a different type of device, see the

Reassigning the DVR•AUX1 and VCR•AUX2 Keys

section.

To control combo devices, like TV/DVDs and TV/VCRs, you

need to program each key separately. Each key will control

that part of the combo device.

If the original remote control that came with your device has

separate ON and OFF keys (instead of a single POWER key),

the Brand Code Search might not work with that device. Try

the Direct Code Entry method described later in this manual.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Brand

Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

Note:

To program for a DVD player, you must first press and

hold the DVD key. While you’re holding the DVD key, press

the number 3 key. Then release both keys.

1.

Manually turn on the device you

want to control.

3.

Press and hold the device key you want to program. While

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand to

press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same time.

4.

Wait until the remote’s indicator

comes on and stays on. Then release

both keys.

6.

Point the remote directly at the

front panel of the device you want

to control. Press

SKIP FWD

on the

remote and wait 2 seconds. The

remote is testing a single code for

your device’s brand.

Did your device turn off?

YES:

Press the

OK

key to store the code. You’re done!

You’ve programmed this device key.

NO:

Press

SKIP FWD

again. The remote tests the next

code for your brand.

Keep pressing

SKIP FWD

every 2 seconds until your

device turns off. When it does, press

OK

.

2.

Find your device’s brand in the

Brand Code list section of the

accompanying code list. Circle

the number for your brand and

keep the list handy.

Look at the number you circled for

your device’s brand code number.

Press that number on the remote

keypad.

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep

the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are

currently programming the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device

key is programmed with the correct code for maximum

functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different

code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality”

section below for more information.

During the Brand Code Search, the remote ignores

keypresses that aren’t part of the search.

The search times out after two minutes (the indicator light

blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed

code under that device key is retained).

The indicator light blinks four times and turns off when the

remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the

Brand Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a

different search method.

Direct Code Entry

Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying

code list for your brand of device. It’s not as easy as the other

methods, but it’s potentially the fastest method.

TIPS:

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the

TV is preset for TVs,

SAT•CBL•STRM

for satellite receivers,

digital TV converters,

streaming players,

or cable boxes, DVD

for DVD players, and DVR•AUX1 for DVRs, AUDIO for audio

receivers, and VCR• AUX2 for VCRs. To program a device key for

a different type of device, see the

Reassigning the DVR•AUX1

and VCR•AUX2 Keys

section.

To control combo devices, like TV/DVDs and TV/VCRs, you need

to program each key separately. Each key will control that part

of the combo device.

1.

Manually turn on the device you

want to control.

3.

Press and hold the device key you want to program (the

indicator light comes on).

While you’re holding down the device key, use your other

hand enter the first five-digit code for your brand in the

code list (the indicator light goes off after the first digit).

2.

Find the Code List that came with

the remote. Locate the section for

the type of device you’re trying to

program, and find your brand in

that section. Circle the codes for

your brand and keep them handy.

NOTES

Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box

provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual.

If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code

Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the

Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)

If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code

Entry procedure, the indicator light blinks four times, and

the process is exited. The last programmed code under the

device key is retained.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device

key is programmed with the correct code for maximum

functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code

in the list.

4.

When you’ve finished entering

the

five-digit code

, keep holding

down the device key and look at

the indicator light.

Is the indicator light on?

YES:

You’re done! You’ve

programmed this device key.

NO, it blinked four times and turned off:

You have

either entered a code number that is not in the code lists

or missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3

again.

Indicator light

Manual Code Search

The Manual Code Search takes you one-by-one through all the

codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find the

one that operates your device, you stop the search and store that

code.

TIPS:

The Manual Code Search method may take a long time

because the remote searches through all of the codes in its

memory one-by-one. 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.

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is

preset to search for TVs,

SAT•CBL•STRM

for satellite receivers,

digital TV converters,

streaming players,

or cable boxes, DVD

for DVD players, and DVR•AUX1 for DVRs, AUDIO for audio

receivers, and VCR•AUX2 for VCRs. To program a device key for a

different type of device, see the

Reassigning the DVR•AUX1 and

VCR•AUX2 Keys

section.

To control combo devices, like TV/DVDs and TV/VCRs, you need

to program each key separately. Each key will control that part

of the combo device.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Manual

Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

Note:

For single-digit brand codes, press the 0 key first (for

example: 0, 5 for “5”)
