Programming your Remote Control

Introduction

Your remote lets you control four devices with one easy-to-use, compact unit. After installing batteries, you can program the remote to control your Universal TV, VCR or DVD, Cable or Satellite Receivers, Amplifier or Tuner, and Auxiliary devices. To do so, follow the instructions in “Programming a Device”. For best results, please read and follow all the remaining instructions. Keep this guide for future reference.

A Quick Look at Programming a Device

To control VCR or DVD, Cable or Satellite Receivers, Amplifier or Tuner, and Auxiliary devices, follow these steps. Before proceeding, find the codes for the devices you want to program in “Manufacturer's Codes” in pages 35-47 and write them down or highlight them.

NOTE: To program a DVD Player, TV/DVD Combo, TV/VCR/DVD Combo, portable DVD player, or mobile DVD player, use the DVD key.

1.Turn on the device (for example, DVD player) and, if needed, load media (for example, a DVD).

2.Press a device key (VCR/DVD, CBL/ SAT, or AUX).

3.Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.

4.Enter the first five-digit code for your device. The LED blinks once as each digit is entered. If the code is correct, the LED blinks twice.

NOTE: If the LED does not blink twice, repeat steps 2 to 4 and try entering the code again.

5.Aim the remote at the device and press Power. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 35, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If you cannot find a code that works, see “Searching for Your Code”.

6.Repeat steps 15 for the other devices you want to control. For future reference, write down each working device code below: AUX Code:

CBL Code: CD Code: DVD Code: SAT Code: TNR Code: VCR Code:

7.Press set to save and exit

Searching for your Code

If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed, try searching for your code:

1.Press a device key once.

2.Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.

3.Enter 9-9-1, then the device group number (0= Cable, 1= TV, 2= VCR, 3= Audio). The LED blinks twice.

4.Aim the remote at the device and press Power. The remote sends IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first. If the device responds, go to step 7.

5.If the device does not respond, press CH+. The remote will try the next code. Continue until the device responds. NOTE: Press CH- to try the previous code.

6.To search for other device codes, repeat steps 1 to 5.

7.Press SET to save and exit.

Checking the Codes

If you have set up the remote using the procedure in “Searching for Your Code”, you may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your equipment.

For example, to find out which code is assigned to your TV:

1.Press TV once.

2.Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.

3.Enter 9-9-0. The LED blinks twice.

4.To view the code for the first digit, press 1. Count the LED blinks (for example, three blinks = 3), and write down the number in the appropriate code listing in step 8 under “Programming a Device”.

NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the LED does not blink.

5.Repeat step 4 for the four remaining digits, using 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for the fourth digit, and 5 for the fifth digit.

6.To check for other device codes, repeat steps 15, substituting the device key for TV.
