devices (VCRs, Cable Converters, Satellite Receivers) by what is called the SEARCH method.

Note: The Search Method only works with devices equipped with

Channel Display Indicators or capability. If the "Direct Access" code number method (shown in the previous section) did not set your remote to work your accessory device, then follow the easy steps listed below.

SMART HELP

Remember, a minute or two

can seem very long, but the code should be located within two minutes.

Don't let the accessory device scan up more than five channels. The remote may pass up the right code and another two minute search cycle will have to be repeated.

If no channel change happens within two minutes, repeat steps 1-4. Should a channel change still not occur, the remote will not work with the desired unit.
