Verifying a Setup Code Using Blink Back

You can use the remote control’s blink back function to verify a previously entered setup code. The blink back function verifies a setup code by indicating the setup code number through a certain number of blinks on the 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons on your remote control.

To verify a setup code using blink back:

1Press the mode button for the device you are verifying (either TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2) for six seconds.

The mode buttons will turn on and turn off one at a time. This sequence will repeat two times and then the selected mode button will remain on. This indicates the remote is ready to accept the blink back code.

2Press 9 9 0 on your remote control.

The selected mode button will blink three times and turn off.

3Press 1 on your remote control. The 1 button will blink for a certain number of times.

The number of blinks that occur after pressing the number buttons represent the four-digit setup code for the selected mode. The 1 button represents the first digit in the setup code, the 2 button represents the second digit in the setup code, and so on for all four digits in the setup code.

For example, to verify the TV setup code is 0047, after you press the mode button and 9 9 0, pressing the 1 button will cause it to remain off, pressing the 2 button will cause it to remain off, pressing the 3 button will cause it to blink four times, and pressing the 4 button will cause it to blink seven times.

4Press 2 on your remote control and count the number of blinks.

5Press 3 on your remote control and count the number of blinks.

6Press 4 on your remote control and count the number of blinks.

You can only set up your remote control while in TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2 mode.

After pressing the mode button and 9 9 0 sequence, you can exit the blink back mode at any time by pressing any button on the remote other than the 1 button.
