first three-digit code number you selected for your device. There is no way of knowing which code is the one that will have the functions that more closely match your device than the others, so it is wise to try them all. See step #9 below.

(Please enter the code number within 20 seconds of beginning programming, otherwise the remote will revert to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time, it will go back to the MAIN device page.)

If there is more than one code number assigned to your brand, try one code number at a time until you find the right code number (the number that turns off your device.)

If the device turns off when you enter the three-digit code, make note of the code. It will have at least some of the functions in it that are needed to control your device.

8.Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power button. The device should turn on. After you have confirmed that the right code is entered, save the code by pressing the SAVE button on the LCD.

9.At this point try ALL of the buttons on the remote, and see which ones work with your device. The majority of the buttons should work with your device. Make note of the code if it seems to be the right one, and try the next one. You are trying to find the one that has the most functions to operate your equipment. If there are any functions missing, you will learn them from your original remote in the ÒLearning MethodÓ section on page 19.

10.Continue to program other components by repeating from Step 1 above.

11.You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to proceed.

12.When you are finished programming your remote, exit from the preprogramming mode by pressing the MAIN button and then exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button once again.

Tip: You can change the preprogrammed code for each device at any time by following the steps above. The new code will override the old code. For example, this would be done if you replaced your old TV with a new one.

Tip: Please note that you use the code table from VCR1 for VCR2 setup. The code table for Laser Disc is stored under DVD. The code table for Tuner is stored under Audio.

You can also program your remote control by sending out a series of Power Off commands for different brands stored in the library by using the following steps. This is similar to the first method, except it is easier to move through all of the device codes for your device and make note of each one that turns your device OFF.

1.Manually turn on the device you plan to operate.

2.Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

3.Press the P-PRO button next to the LCD screen.
