Program for Satellite or Cable Box—Direct Entry Method

In order for the 3 component universal remote to control your satellite or cable box, you must program it with the code that matches your component. The DBS•CABLE key can be programmed to operate either a satellite receiver or a cable box. These instructions explain the preferred method of programming the remote—the Direct Entry method.

1.Manually turn on the satellite receiver or cable box.

2.Locate the enclosed Satellite or Cable Box Code List. Find your brand in the Satellite Codes or Cable Box Codes section, respectively.

Note: If your brand isn’t listed, use one of the Code Search methods to program this remote control (See Code Search on page 24).

3.Press and hold the CODE SEARCH key until the indicator light illuminates. Then release the CODE SEARCH key.

4.Press and release the DBS•CABLE key. The indicator light blinks and then remains lit.

5.Use the number keys on the remote to enter the first code listed for your brand. After you enter a valid three-digit code, the indicator light turns off.

Note: If you enter an invalid code, the LED will flash rapidly for 2 seconds. Start over at step 3.

6.Aim the remote at your satellite receiver or cable box and press the ON•OFF key. If your Satellite receiver or cable box turns off, you have found the correct code.

7.Enter the code in the box provided on this page for future reference.

8.If your satellite receiver or cable box doesn’t turn off, repeat steps 3-6 above, entering the next code for your brand.

If none of the codes work or your brand is not listed, use one of the Code Search methods to program this remote (See Code Search on page 24).

For a description of each key on the remote control, refer to the Key Descriptions section page 21.
