Programming the Remote Control

The remote control is set at the factory to control all of the satellite receiver functions, but to use it to operate your TV, DVD, VCR and auxiliary components as well, you must "program" it for the brand you own. Follow these instructions to program the remote to control your TV, DVD, VCR and auxiliary (AUX) components.

Follow these instructions to program the remote to control your TV.

1.Turn on the desired component for programming.

2.Use the table that appears later in this section to find the manufacturer brand.

3.After the manufacturer’s brand name is a four-digit code number (or several four-digit codes).

4.Press and hold the appropriate mode key on the remote control for at least three seconds—until the light on your remote flashes.

5.When the light flashes, key in the first of the four-digit codes (listed in the table) for your component using the number keys on the remote control. Make sure to do this accurately and without a long delay.

6.If the remote control "accepts" the code, you will see several rapid flashes of the light. If it does not flash, repeat steps 4, and 5. After the remote control accepts the code, press the POWER key on the remote control to make sure the remote control is able to turn your component off. This means it is functioning properly.

7.If your component does not respond to the remote control POWER key, even though it has "accepted" the manufacturer’s code, repeat steps 4 and 5 using the second four-digit code from the table. If this does not work, try the third code, etc., until the remote control accepts the code and your component responds to the remote control POWER key.

NOTE: Some cable box brands are also programmable using these instructions. Check the table that appears later in this section for applicable cable box brands and codes. You will press the TV key to program your cable box. Your remote can only accept a TV or cable box code for this programming step.
