stored controls the majority of the component's functions,
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give
maximum functionality, you will want to try another code.
4. Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from
step 1. Each time a code turns the component on or off, you
have found a code that operates the remote and needs to
be tested for maximum functionality. Continue through the
code lists, cycling through the codes you have already tried,
until you find one that offers maximum functionality.

Auto Code Search and Entry

The Auto Code Search and Entry Method enables the remote
to automatically search through all the codes in the Code
Lists for the one that operates your component.
The Manual and Auto Code Search methods may take
Note:
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 Brand Codes or the
Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code
Entry methods described on pages 4 and 6.
To exit without saving at any point in the Auto Code

TIP:
Search, press and release the GO BACK key.
1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to
control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or cable box).
If you press an invalid key during the Auto Code
Note:
Search, the remote does not respond. If you do not press
a valid Auto Code Search key (TV, DVD•VCR, SAT•CBL,
AUX, ON•OFF, GO BACK, PLAY, REVERSE, FORWARD,
STOP), the search times out after two minutes. When
the search times out, the LED INDICATOR blinks four
times and turns off. The last programmed code under that
component key is retained.
2. If you are programming the remote to control your TV,
satellite receiver or cable box go directly to step 4.
3. To program the remote to control a VCR or DVD. The
DVD•VCR key can control only one component, either your
VCR or your DVD. To program your remote to control
either your DVD or your VCR, you must first put the
remote in the proper programming mode.
Follow these directions before proceeding to step 4.
a. Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The LED
INDICATOR turns on.
b. While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and
release the number 2 key on the keypad to control
a VCR or the number 3 key to control a DVD. The
LED INDICATOR turns off.
c. Release the DVD•VCR key. The LED INDICATOR
blinks four times and then turns off. Your remote
is now either in VCR or DVD Programming Mode,
depending on which you chose. Proceed to step 4.
4. Press and hold the component key (TV, DVD•VCR, AUX,
SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The LED INDICATOR
turns on and remains on.
5. While holding the component key down, press and hold the
ON•OFF key. The LED INDICATOR turns off.
6. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the LED
INDICATOR turns back on.
7. Release both keys. The LED INDICATOR remains on.
Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to
!
TIP:
keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you
are currently programming the remote to control.
8. Press and release the PLAY key, then wait five seconds to
see if your component turns off. If your component does
8
not respond, continue to press the PLAY key
PLAY
every five seconds until your component
turns off. Each time you press the PLAY key,
the LED INDICATOR blinks and a block of
10 codes are sent to your component. This
process continues until all of the codes in
the Code Lists have been searched. (If your
component has not turned off after all codes
have been searched, the LED INDICATOR
blinks four times and turns off. The Auto
Code Search Entry method is exited.)
9. When your component turns off, you know
the correct code is in the last block of 10 codes
sent. Press and release the REVERSE key.
Wait two seconds to see if your component
REVERSE
turns on again. If your component does not
respond, continue to press the REVERSE
key every two seconds until your component
turns on again. This will isolate the correct
code in the last block of codes sent. Each
time the REVERSE key is pressed, the LED
INDICATOR blinks.
If you accidentally press the REVERSE
Note:
key after your component responds, press and
FORWARD
release the FORWARD key. Then, wait two
seconds to see if your component turns
off again.
10. Once your component turns off, you have
found the correct code. You must save the
STOP new code by pressing and releasing the STOP
key. The LED INDICATOR turns off. You
must press the STOP key to save the code or
the correct code will not be stored!
11. 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, different codes in the list can
be tried until you find the code that allows
the remote to control the majority of your
component's functions. See the section entitled
"Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality"
on page 7 for more information.

Code Retrieval

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 on the next page. If you used one of the
Code Search methods to program your remote, 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.
1. Press and hold the component key (TV, DVD•VCR, AUX,
SAT•CBL) whose code you wish to retrieve. The LED
INDICATOR turns on.
2. While holding the component key down, press and hold the
INFO key. The LED INDICATOR turns off.
3. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the LED
INDICATOR turns back on.
4. Release both keys. The LED INDICATOR remains on.
