Using the System

6.Press the UP or DOWN ARROW button repeatedly until the device turns off.

7.Press the POUND (#) button.

8.Turn the device back on and try some other buttons to make sure they work.

9.Repeat this procedure until you’ve tried all the codes.

As you press the UP or DOWN ARROW button, the remote is trying each code in the memory to see if it can turn off your device. When the device turns off, you have found a code that might work.

Note: The mode button for the device will flash rapidly eight times when you’ve scanned through all the available codes for that device.

This stores the code you found.

Press the POWER button to turn the device back on. Try some other buttons to make sure they work. Sometimes, the POWER button or TV POWER button works when other buttons don’t.

You may need to repeat the scan to find the best code for your device.

Check the Device Codes

You can find out what device code you’ve set for each remote-control mode.

Tip: The IR remote control is used to control TV1 menus and programming on a nearby TV. An optional IR/UHF Pro remote can be used to control the receiver from another room.

1.Press and hold the device mode button until all the other mode buttons light up, and then let go of the button.

The mode button flashes.

2.Press the POUND (#) button twice.

Watch the mode light to determine your code. The mode button flashes the number for each digit of the device code, with a pause between the groups of flashes. A quick flash is for zero.

3.For AUX mode setup only: The first group of flashes tells you what the AUX mode is set up to control. A quick flash (zero) before the three-digit code is for a TV; one regular flash is for a VCR or DVD player; and two flashes is for a tuner or audio amplifier.

For example, hold the TV mode button for a TV until all of the other mode buttons light. When you let go, the TV mode light will flash.

For example, if the code is 570, the mode button flashes five times, pauses, flashes seven times, pauses, and flashes once quickly. This example sequence corresponds to device code 570; your actual code will probably differ.

For example, if the TV code is 570, the AUX mode button flashes once quickly (indicating 0 for TV), pauses, flashes five times, pauses, flashes seven times, pauses, and flashes once quickly. This example sequence corresponds to device code 570; your actual code will probably differ.
