Finding a Setup Code

Setup codes for your TV and VCR are listed by brand in “TV and VCR Setup Codes”.

If the setup code for your brand of TV or VCR is not listed, or if your TV or VCR does not respond to the setup codes listed for its brand, you can search for your setup code using your remote control’s Step and Set function.

To search for a setup code:

1Press the mode button for the device (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 use the Step and Set function.

2Press the Cursor Up button to begin Step and Set. The selected mode button will turn off.

If no setup code is currently programmed for the selected mode, the search begins with the most popular setup code for the selected device. If a setup code has been previously programmed, the search begins with the next setup code for that device.

3Use the following buttons to determine if the setup code properly operates the selected device:

Number buttons 0, 1, 2, or 3 (use to test TV setup codes)

Channel Up (use to test TV setup codes)

Play (use to test VCR setup codes)

Rewind (use to test VCR setup codes)

4If the setup code successfully operates the device, press OK on the remote control. The setup code is now programmed into your remote control.

If the setup code does not operate the device, repeat steps 2 and 3.

During Step and Set, if there is more than a ten second pause between pressing buttons on the remote control, the remote will exit Step and Set and return to the previously programmed setup code.

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