Tip: This remote is already programmed to operate most
Step 1: Install your batteries
Your universal remote requires two AA alkaline batteries (not included).
To install the batteries:
1.Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching 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.
Step 2: Program your remote
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: To program the AUX1 or AUX2 keys, you must first assign them to a device type. See the Assigning the AUX1 and AUX2 Keys section.
Each device key is associated with a type of
To control combo devices, like TV/DVDs and TV/VCRs, you need to program each key separately. Each key will control that part of the combo device.
If the original remote control that came with your device has separate ON and OFF keys (instead of a single ON•OFF key), the Auto Code Search might not work with that device. Try the Direct Code Entry method described later in this manual.
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 ON•OFF
key at the same time.
3.Wait until the ON•OFF key comes on and stays on.
Then release both keys.
4.Point the remote 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.
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
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: The Brand Code Search works for TVs, VCRs, DVD players, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The Brand Code Search does not work for programming this remote to control audio devices, DVRs, and digital TV converter boxes. Use a different programming method for these kinds of devices.
TIPS: To program the AUX1 or AUX2 keys, you must first assign them to a device type. See the Assigning the AUX1 and AUX2 Keys section.

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 Brand Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the ON•OFF key blinks four times and the last programmed code under that device key is retained).
The ON•OFF key blinks four times 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.
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 ON•OFF 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.
TIPS: To program the AUX1 or AUX2 keys, you must first assign them to a device type. See the Assigning the AUX1 and AUX2 Keys section.
Each device key is associated with a type of
To control combo devices, like TV/DVDs and TV/VCRs, you need to program each key separately. Each key will control that part of the combo device.
1. Manually turn on the device you want to control.
4.When you’ve finished entering the
Is the ON•OFF key illuminated?
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 ON•OFF key 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 takes you
you’re trying to control. When you find the one that operates your device, you stop
the search and store that code.
TIPS: The Manual Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory

Tour of the Remote
In most cases, the keys on this remote perform the same functions as the keys on your original remotes once you’ve programmed this remote to operate your components. Many keys on this remote have other functions as well.
Illuminated ON•OFF key serves as an indicator light to provide feedback.
Device keys (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, DVR, AUDIO, VCR, AUX1, AUX2) put the remote in the right mode to control your device.
Backlight key (
) turns backlighting on/ off.

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. Note: Direct Code Entry is usually the best method to use for audio devices.
•The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through all the codes for the device you’re trying to control.
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.
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.
