Code Search Methods

If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code List or you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote does not operate your component, use one of the Code Search methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search. Both Code Search methods search all of the codes because your component’s code may be listed under another brand in the code list.

Note: The Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches all of the codes in its memory for the code which operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is listed in the Code List, use the Direct Entry method described on pages 22-23.

5.As soon as the component turns off, you must press the ENTER key immediately so the remote stores the correct code. If you don’t press ENTER within 3 seconds, the remote will send the next code in the list, and you will have to start over from step 2.
