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.

Manual Code Search

1.Turn on the component you want the remote to operate.

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

3.Press and release the component key that corresponds to the component you want the remote to operate (TV, VCR•DVD or DBS•CABLE). The indicator light blinks once and then remains lit.

4.Aim the remote at the component and press the ON•OFF key continuously until the component turns off.

Important: Because there are so many codes, you may have to press the ON•OFF key many times—possibly up to 200 times.

5.When the component turns off, press the ENTER key to store the code.

6.Use Code Retrieval on the next page to identify the code for your component for future reference.

3.Press and release the component key that corresponds to the component you want the remote to operate (TV, VCR•DVD or DBS•CABLE). The indicator light blinks once

and then remains lit.

4.Aim the remote at the component and press the ON•OFF key once. The remote automatically sends every code for the speciﬁed component one at a time, with a 3 second delay between each code. Keep the remote aimed at the component throughout the process.

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.

6.Use Code Retrieval to identify the code for your component for future reference.
