Press and hold the TV button while you enter the first code listed for Zenith in the TV Codes column.
Release the TV button. Press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same steps, but enter the second code for Zenith TVs instead of the first.
Note
Some of the remote’s buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you’re using another component’s menu system.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1.Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to control the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could control the TV.
1.Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT¥CABLE, AUX) to set the remote to control the component.
2.Press ON¥OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3.Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Notes:
•The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.
•If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
