|
| I found a code for my | This is fairly common because many |
|
|
| TV or A/V device and | manufacturers use a slightly different |
|
|
| some buttons work | code for each product they put on the |
|
|
| but others do not | market. So – you might have found a |
|
|
|
| code that worked the power button and a |
|
|
|
| few others but might not work the menu, |
|
|
|
| or other buttons do not work – the simple |
|
|
|
| solution is try other codes… Try them in |
|
|
|
| this order: |
|
|
|
| 2) Try all the codes in the category you |
|
|
|
| are looking for (i.e. if you are looking |
|
|
|
| for a TV code, try all the TV codes |
|
|
|
| one at a time for the brand of TV you |
|
|
|
| are using) |
|
|
|
| 3) Do a category code scan – hold down |
|
|
|
| Guide and the device you are trying |
|
|
|
| to program |
|
|
|
| Red, Green or Blue, or DVD, AUX, or |
|
|
|
| CBL) then press the kind of device |
|
|
|
| you are trying to program (Local TV |
|
|
|
| for a TV, CBL for cable or sat box, |
|
|
|
| DVD for a DVD VCR or Laserdisc, or |
|
|
|
| Aux for anything else) then hold the |
|
|
|
| up arrow until your device turns |
|
|
|
| off/on – then press select to save that |
|
|
|
| code… If you have trouble see the |
|
|
|
| more detailed instructions in the |
|
|
|
| “programming the remote session” |
|
|
|
| 4) Do a full scan (get something to drink |
|
|
|
| before you do, this takes a while) – |
|
|
|
| same steps as #3 above, just skip the |
|
|
|
| “press the kind of device you are |
|
|
|
| trying to program” step… |
|
|
|
| 5) Buy a learning remote and learn the |
|
|
|
| codes for the buttons that do not |
|
|
|
| work |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When I press an | Don't forget that even though we tried to | |
|
| Xtender channel | make this as simple as possible, the |
|
|
| button, the TV | remote still has to be able to tell your TV |
|
|
| doesn’t change to a | where it wants to go - with a standard |
|
|
| channel where I can | installation we put the Red channel on |
|
|
| see my | 14, Green on 98 and Blue on 96... One |
|
|
| device | thing that is a little different about an |
|
|
|
| Xtender remote is that it usually has to |
|
|
|
| tell your TV two things to get to an |
|
|
|
| Xtender channel - '1' and '4'... The most |
|
|
|
| common problem is that you don't keep |
|
|
|
| the remote pointing at the TV long |
|
|
|
| enough and the TV only sees the '1', it |
|
|
|
| happily goes to channel 1, you realize |
|
|
|
| that is not where you wanted to be and |
|
|
|
| quickly push the Red button again - only |
|
|
|
| to take you to channel '11' |
|
|
|
| The solution is simple - make sure you |
|
|
|
| point the remote at the TV and keep it |
