Using the Remote Control
3.Point the remote at the device, press and release PLAY, then wait five seconds or until the device button you’re trying to program stops flashing.
At this time the remote control is searching for the correct code to program, so keep pointing it at the device. If, after five seconds, the device you want to control does not turn off, press and release PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the device turns off or until the all of the device buttons on the remote flash 4 times in unison. If the device has not turned off by the time all the device buttons on the remote control flash 4 times in unison, then the remote cannot control that particular device.
If the device you want to control does turn off:
1.Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back on.
2.To finish, press and hold STOP until the device button you’re trying to program on the remote control turns off. This saves the code to that button.
Using Direct Entry
1.Turn on the device to be programmed.
2.Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device on the code list at the end of this section.
3.On your remote control, press and hold the device button you want to program.
4.While pressing the device button, enter a code from the code list. If all of the device buttons flash 4 times in unison, then the code you’ve entered is not the right kind of code for that button (see pages
5.Release the device button, point the remote at the device and then press ON•OFF to see if the device responds to the remote control commands. If it doesn’t, try pressing the device button and then ON•OFF (or other buttons on the remote) again.
6.If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the device responds to the remote control commands.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to operate your devices.
To Operate the Device:
1.Press the appropriate device button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT•CABLE, AUDIO, AUX•HD) to set the remote to control the device.
2.Press ON•OFF to turn the device ON or OFF.
3.Use the remote buttons that apply to that device.
Notes: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of devices.
If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the device button that matches the device 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.)
