Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the

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

the one that operates your device, you can stop the search

and store that code.

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, cable boxes

or digital TV converters or streaming media players,

DVD•VCR for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To

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

the

Changing a Key’s Device Type

section.

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

Auto Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1.

Manually turn on the device you

want to control.

2.

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.

3.

Wait until the POWER key comes

on and stays on. Then release

both keys.

4.

Keep the remote pointed

directly at the front panel

of the device you want to

control. Press PLAY on the

remote and wait 5 seconds.

The remote is testing a batch

of 10 codes on your device.

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 Auto Code Search Method from the

beginning. When your device turns off, do not stop

searching. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to

press the PLAY key every 5 seconds until the unit turns

back on.

3.

Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key

on the remote every 2 seconds until your device turns

off again. When your device turns off again, press the

STOP 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.

Did your device turn off?

YES:

Go to step 5.

NO:

Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch

of 10 codes.

Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device

turns off.

5.

When your device turns off,

press the REVERSE key on

the remote and wait at least 2

seconds. The remote tries the

last of the previous ten codes.

Did your device turn on?

YES:

Press the STOP

key. You’re done! You’ve

programmed this device key.

NO:

Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the next

code in the batch.

Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your

device turns back on. When it does, press STOP.

Note:

If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after

your device turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait

two seconds to see if your device turns off again.

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 Auto Code Search, the remote ignores

keypresses that aren’t part of the search.

The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key

blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed

code under that device key is retained).

The POWER key blinks four times and turns off when the

remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits

the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off

yet, try a different search method.

Manual Code Search

The Manual Code Search lets you go 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 can 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, cable boxes or digital TV converters

or streaming media players, DVD•VCR for DVD players,

and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To program a device key for

a different type of device, see the

Changing a Key’s

Device Type

section.

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

Manual Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1.

Manually turn on the device

you want to control.
