Using the System
Scan for Device Codes
If the code for your device is not listed in the tables starting on page 120, use this procedure to scan the remote control’s memory for the device code.
Tip: The receiver deletes one- time event timers right after they work. You must delete all other types of timers yourself.
1.Turn the device on.
2.Press and hold the mode button until all the other mode buttons light up, and then let go of the button.
The mode button flashes.
3.For AUX mode only. Press 0 for a second TV, or 1 for a second VCR, or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or cable box. Then press the STAR (*) button.
4.Press the blank POWER button.
5.Press the UP or DOWN ARROW button repeatedly until the device turns off.
6.Press the Pound (#) button.
7.Turn the device back on and try some other buttons to make sure they work.
8.Repeat this procedure until you’ve tried all the codes.
Use the device’s front panel buttons or its remote control.
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.
This step is for programming which kind of device that should be programmed in AUX mode. If you’re not programming in AUX mode, skip to step 4.
This puts your remote in the scan mode.
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 all the codes for that device.
This stores the code you found.
Press the blank POWER button to turn the device back on. Try some other buttons to make sure they work. Sometimes, the blank POWER button works when other buttons don’t.
You may need to repeat the scan to find the best code for your device.
