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.

For more help, call technical support for your universal remote control or set-top box manufacturer, or call the Dynex Customer Care Center at 1-800-305-2204.
