Step 2: Program your remote
To use this universal remote with your home entertainment system, first you need to program it to control your devices. There are four ways you can program the universal remote to operate your devices:
• The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the |
codes for the device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest |
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the |
other programming methods. |
• The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for |
select brands of devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code |
search, but it can be faster. |
• The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the |
accompanying code list for your brand of device. It’s not as |
easy as the other methods, but it’s potentially the fastest |
method. |
Did your device turn off?
YES: Go to step 5.
NO: Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of 10 codes.
Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turns off.
5.When your device turns off, press
the REVERSE key on the remote and wait at least 2 seconds. The remote tries the last of the previous ten codes.
Did your device turn on?
YES: Press the STOP key. You’re done! You’ve programmed this
device key.
NO: Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the next code in the batch.
Brand Code Search
The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of device— the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters, DVD•VCR for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To program a device key for a different type of device, see the Changing a Key’s Device Type section.
To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Brand Code Search, press the CLEAR key.
1.Manually turn on the device you
want to control.

code list (the indicator light goes off after the first digit). | ||
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device | ||
| ||
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum |
| |
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different |
| |
code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” |
| |
section below for more information. |
|
During the Brand Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the indicator blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed code under that device key is retained).
The indicator blinks four times and turns off when the remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the Brand Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a different search method.
SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE CODE LISTS!
Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming when you change the batteries. Make sure you keep the manual and code lists in a safe place so that you can reprogram the remote if you need to.
Tip: This remote is already programmed to operate most
Step 1: Install your batteries
Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries (not included).
To install the batteries:
1.Press and push the battery
compartment cover to remove it.
2.Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and
3.Push the battery cover back into place.
Battery Precautions:
•Do not mix old and new batteries.
•Do not mix alkaline, standard
•Always remove old, weak or
Battery Saver
Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as between sofa cushions.
• The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through |
all the codes for the device you’re trying to control. |
Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and store that code.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of
To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto Code Search, press the CLEAR key.
1. Manually turn on the device you want to control.
2.Press and hold the device key you want to program. While you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same time.
3. Wait until the remote’s indicator comes on and stays on. Then release both keys.
4.Keep the remote pointed directly
at the front panel of the device you want to control. Press PLAY on the remote and wait 5 seconds. The remote is testing a batch of 10 codes on your device.
Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your device turns back on. When it does, press STOP.
Note: If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your device turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two seconds to see if your device turns off again.
NOTES
Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are currently programming the remote to control.
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” section below for more information.
During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the indicator blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed code under that device key is retained).
The indicator blinks four times and turns off when the remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a different search method.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1.Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.
2.Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning.
When your device turns off, do not stop searching.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.
3.Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again.
When your device turns off again, press the STOP key.
4.Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

4. Wait until the remote’s indicator comes on and stays on. Then release both keys.
5. Look at the number you circled for your device’s brand code number. Press that number on the remote keypad.
6. Keep the remote pointed directly at the front panel of the device you want to control. Press POWER on the remote and wait 2 seconds. The remote is testing a single code for your device’s brand.
Did your device turn off?
YES: Press the STOP key to store the code. You’re done! You’ve programmed this device key.
NO: Press POWER again. The remote tests the next code for your brand.
Keep pressing POWER every 2 seconds until your device turns off. When it does, press STOP.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1.Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.
2.Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the POWER key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.
3.Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code that operates the device. Press the STOP key.
4.Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code.
Direct Code Entry
Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying code list for your brand of device. It’s not as easy as the other methods, but it’s potentially the fastest method.
TIP: Each device key is associated with a type of device— the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters, DVD•VCR for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs.

down the device key and look at the indicator light.
Is the indicator light on?
YES: You’re done! You’ve programmed this device key.
NO, it blinked four times and turned off: You have
either entered a code number that is not in the code lists or missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3 again.
NOTES
Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box
provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual.
If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)
If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the indicator blinks four times, and
the process is exited. The last programmed code under the
device key is retained.
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different
code in the list.
Manual Code Search
The Manual Code Search lets you go
