Using the Remote Control

3.Press PLAY (the light on the remote starts flashing).

The remote is searching the first set of component codes (there are 20 sets of codes). If the component you want to operate doesn’t turn off automatically after 5 seconds, press PLAY again (the light starts flashing again as the remote searches through the next set of codes).

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off.

Note: If the component doesn’t turn off after you’ve pressed the PLAY button 20 times, the component can’t be programmed.

4.Press REVERSE, wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.

5.To finish, press and hold the STOP button until the light on the remote turns off.

Using Direct Entry

1.Turn on the component you want the remote to operate.

2.Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list on the next page.

3.Press and hold the component button (VCR2 or SAT•CABLE) that corresponds to the component you want the remote to operate.

4.Enter the code from the code list on the next page.

5.Release the component button.

6.Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the remote commands. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It

Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to control your components. To operate the component:

1.Press the component button (VCR2 or SAT•CABLE) to set the remote to control the component.

2.Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3.Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the satellite receiver, press SAT•CABLE on the remote to put it in the satellite receiver mode).

The other remote buttons may operate differently for other components, especially when you’re using their menu systems.

Important

You must continue pressing the component button while you enter the code.
