Programming the Remote

(continued)
has its own "language," and, by programming the correct
codes into your remote, you tell the remote to "speak the
same language" as your components.
There are two methods you can use to program your
remote control to operate your components: Direct Code
Entry and Manual Code Search and Entry. Most
components can be programmed in one of these ways. Try
them in the order listed.
In order to control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units,
you must program both the TV key and the VCR•DVD
key. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls
the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR•DVD key
controls the VCR or DVD functions. There is a specific
section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes in
this section should be tried first, using Direct Code Entry
on the TV and VCR•DVD keys. If this is unsuccessful,
follow the normal programming methods for both the TV
and the VCR•DVD keys.

Programming Methods

Direct Code Entry

To program your universal remote to control your
components using the Direct Code Entry Method,
follow the steps below.
1. Manually turn on the component
you want the remote to control
(TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver
or cable box).
2. Locate the enclosed Code Lists.
Find the list for the component you
wish to program. Find your
component's brand. You will see a
listing of four-digit codes for each
brand. If your brand isn't listed,
use the Manual Code Search
method to program the remote
control. (Refer to page 5 for
Manual Code Search method.)
3. Press and hold the component key
(TV, VCR·DVD, SAT·CBL) you
wish to program. The LED indicator
light turns on and remains on. If you
LED
release the component key any time
during the Direct Code Entry
procedure, the LED indicator light
blinks four times, and the process
is exited.
4. While holding down the
component key, consult the Code
Lists for the four-digit code that
corresponds to your component's
brand and use the number keys
LED
(0-9) on the keypad to enter it.

While you are pressing the
numbers, the LED indicator light
turns off.
5. After the fourth number is entered,
the LED indicator light turns on. At
this time, release the component key.
LED
If the LED indicator light turns off,
you have entered a valid code and
have followed the correct procedure
for Direct Code Entry.
If you enter a code number that
is not in the Code Lists or you do
not follow all of the steps for
Direct Code Entry, the LED
indicator light blinks four times
when the component key is
released. This is an indication
that a programming error has
occurred. In that case, repeat the
Direct Code Entry process from
step 3 and try the next code
listed. The last programmed
code under that component key
is retained.
! TIP:
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. To confirm that the component key
is programmed with the correct
code for maximum functionality, test
the component. Attempt to control a
variety of the component's functions
with the remote. If some of the
features of your components do not
work, try programming the remote
with a different code in the list 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.

Manual Code Search and Entry

If your component's brand isn't listed in the Code Lists, or
if you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the
remote does not operate your component, try the Manual
Code Search. This Code Search method cycles through all
of the codes in the Code Lists in the event that your
component's code is listed under another brand.
The Manual 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 Code Lists, first try
the Direct Code Entry method described on page 4.
