Direct Code Entry
Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying
code list for your brand of device. It’s not as easy as the other
methods, but it’s potentially the fastest method.
TIPS: To program the AUX key, you must rst assign it to a
device type. See the Assigning the AUX Key section.
Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is
preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers,
digital TV converters, or cable boxes, DVD•VCR for DVD
players, and AUDIO for audio receivers. To program the
DVD•VCR key to control a PVR or VCR, see the Reassigning the
DVD•VCRKeytoControlaVCR section.
To control combo devices, like TV/DVDs and TV/VCRs, you
need to program each key separately. Each key will control
that part of the combo device.
1. Manually turn on the device you want to control.
2. Find the Code List that came with the remote. Locate the
section for the type of device you’re trying to program, and
find your brand in that section. Circle the codes for your
brand and keep them handy.
3. Press and hold the device key you want to program (the
POWER key comes on).
While you’re holding down the device key, use your other
hand enter the first five-digit code for your brand in the
code list (the POWER key goes off after the first digit).
NOTES
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code
in the list.
Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box
provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual.
If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code
Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the
Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)
If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code
Entry procedure, the POWER key blinks four times and the
process is exited. The last programmed code under the device
key is retained.
4. When you’ve finished entering the five-digit code, keep
holding down the device key and look at the POWER key.
Is the POWER key illuminated?
YES: You’re done! You’ve programmed this device key.
NO, it blinked four times and turned off: You have
either entered a code number that is not in the code lists or
missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3 again.
