Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the device you want to operate (TV, DVD player, etc.)
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device in the Remote Code List at the 
end of this booklet.  
3. Press and hold the device button you want to program on the RCU.
4. Enter the 4-digit code from the Remote Code List.  If all the mode buttons ash, you 
have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.Using Direct 
Entry
5. Release the device button, point the RCU at the device, and then press the ON/OFF 
button to see if the device responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the 
component button and then ON/OFF again.
•  If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, 
until the device responds to the remote commands.
•  If you try all the codes for your device brand and none work, try the automatic code 
search method. If automatic code search doesn’t nd the code, the remote is not 
compatible with your component.
Because the RCU controls more than one component, you must rst “tell” it which 
component you wish to operate.  For example, if you wish to operate the TV, you must 
rst press the TV mode button on the RCU to put it in the TV mode.
The RCU stays in the chosen mode until you change it.  If the RCU is in the TV mode, 
you must change the mode in order to operate other components.  For example, if you 
are in the TV mode and you wish to turn off the Cable Box, you must rst press the CAB/
SAT button then the On/Off button.  Return to the TV mode by pressing the TV mode 
button.
Volume Punch Through allows the VOL+, VOL-, and MUTE keys, when pressed in 
the TV, AUX, or CAB/SAT modes, to “punch through” to the TV or other device audio, 
whichever was accessed last.  The Volume Punch Through occurs automatically and 
allows you to control the volume without exiting the current mode.
