Programming a universal remote control to work with your TV

You can operate your TV with a new or existing universal remote control.

To program a universal remote control:

1Find the code for your universal remote control by identifying its model (or your set-top box’s remote control manufacturer and model) on the charts below, then make note of the numbered code below it. You will use the numbered code to program your remote control to work with your TV.

Tips:

•The brand name is often visible on the front of the universal remote control, and the model number is often visible on the back.

•If your universal remote control isn’t listed on the chart, refer to your universal remote control’s instructions and try codes for the brands Orion, Emerson, Memorex, Sansui, Sylvania, or Zenith. You may need to try several codes before finding a match.

2Follow your universal remote control’s instructions to enter the code you found in Step 1.

Tips:

•If your universal remote control has a code search feature, run a code search to identify a code that matches your TV. See your universal remote control’s instructions for details.

•If your universal remote control has a “Learn” feature, you can manually program it using your TV remote to “teach” the commands one at a time. See your universal remote control’s instructions for details.

3If all else fails, you must use a different universal remote control that can operate both your set-top box and your TV. Five such remotes are listed on the chart, but many other compatible models are available in the market.

Making connections

Before you make any connections:

•Check the plugs on the ends of cables to make sure that they are the connect type before you trying plugging them into jacks on the TV.

•Make sure that all plugs are securely inserting into the jacks. Loose connections can result in image or color problems.

•When connecting devices to the TV, make sure that the TV and the device are turned off and that the power cords are unplugged.

Selecting a location

You should select a location for the TV:

•Where direct light does not reflect on the screen

•That has indirect and soft lighting

•Where the TV has access to an antenna or cable TV connection

•Where the TV has access to a power outlet

Note: Watching TV in total darkness or with a reflection on the screen may cause eye strain.

Connecting the power

To connect the power:

•Connect the power cord (included) to the AC IN jack on the back of the TV, then connect the other end to a power outlet.

Notes:

•The AC plug on the TV may be different from the one shown.

•Make sure that you only use the type of power source indicated on the marking label.

•Always unplug the power cord when not using the TV for a long period of time.
