Programming the remote
control for a home
entertainment device
Your HP remote control is programmable. Program the
remote control to operate other home entertainment
devices such as your VCR, DVD player, audio receiver,
or set-top box. Manufacturer codes for compatible
brands are listed at the end of this chapter. If the brand
of your device is not listed, see "Searching for the
device code" on page 44.
Programming the device code
The following steps describe how to program a device
button if your brand is listed.
1
Turn on the TV. Turn on the device you would like
to program.
Read steps 2 through 4 completely before
proceeding. Highlight or write down the
codes and device you wish to program
before performing step 2.
2
Hold down a device button on the remote control
for 5 seconds until the device button blinks, and
then release the device button. The device button
blinks one more time and then remains lit.
3
Locate the brand of your device and
manufacturer's codes (see listing that follows).
4
Enter the first four-digit code. If the code is
accepted, the device button flashes twice. If the
code is not accepted, the device button flashes
three times.
If the device button did not blink twice,
then repeat steps 2 through 4, entering
either the same code or the next code if
provided.

Aim the remote control at the device, and press
the Power button once. The device should turn off.
If it does not respond, repeat steps 2 through 4,
trying each code for your brand until you find one
that works. If it still does not work, try searching
for the code; see "Searching for the device code"
on page 44.
If the device does not have a power button,
press Play.

Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each device you
want to control with the remote control.
Searching for the device code
If your device does not respond to the remote control
after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your
brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code.

Turn on your home entertainment device.
2
Hold down a device button on the remote control
for 5 seconds until the device button blinks, and
then release the device button. The device button
blinks one more time and then remains lit.
3
Enter 1, 1, 1, 1, and the device button blinks once
and then remains lit.

Press and release the Power button once on the
remote control. Wait until the device button stops
blinking. Continue to press and release the Power
button, waiting each time for the device button to
stop blinking, until the home entertainment device

Each time you press the Power button, it is
trying a different code. Be sure to wait until
the device button stops blinking before
pressing the Power button again. You may
need to press the Power button several
times before the correct code is found.
