Programming Your

Remote Control

You can use both the same room IR remote control and the RF remote control that came with your HD receiver to control other components in your entertainment system as long as they are in the same room as the remote control.

Programming the Remote

Control

There are two ways to program your remote control to match your equipment: code scan and code entry. Code scan can take some time, but it avoids having to refer to this manual to program your remote control. Code entry saves some time but you will need to look up the codes assigned to the devices.

Programming Mode

Keep your remote control aimed at the device you want to control during this process. The remote control will send out the “power” command for the device being programmed.

While holding down the device key you are programming (“TV” in this instance), press the “Mute” key for one full second. Then release the keys. The device key should light and stay lit. If it doesn’t, repeat the process. If it does, the remote control is now in programming mode.

Then choose either the code scan or code entry method, as described below.

Code Scan

Once you are in programming mode, repeatedly press

the key to step through the codes, sending out the power command. This could take some time since there could be many codes for each type of device. When your device shuts off, you have found the code. If you inadvertently go past a code that responded, or realized that you may not have been

aiming the remote at the device, you can use the

verify that you haven’t missed the code. In order to lock in

the code, press the device key again. The remote will remember the code until you reprogram it.
