Manual Code Search

The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one through all the codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and store that code.

TIPS:The Manual Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in

its memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code Entry method.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Manual Code Search, press the GO BACK key.

1.Manually turn on the device you

want to control.

2.If you’re programming theTV or SAT•CBL•DTC key, go to step 3.

If you’re programming the VCR•DVD key, you need to tell the remote which kind of device you want this key to control, VCR or DVD.

Press and hold the VCR•DVD key. While you’re holding down the VCR•DVD key, use your other hand to press the number key for the type of device you want to control with this key: 2 for VCR, 3 for DVD.

3.Press and hold the device key you want to program. While you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand to press and hold the remote’s ON•OFF key at the same time.

both keys.

5.Point the remote directly at the front panel of the device you want to control. Press ON•OFF on the remote and wait 2 seconds.The remote is testing a single code for your device.

Did your device turn off?

YES: Press the STOP key to store the code.You’re done!You’ve programmed this device key.

NO: Press ON•OFF again.The remote tests the next code for your device.

Keep pressing ON•OFF every 2 seconds until your device turns back on. When it does, press STOP.

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are programming the remote to control.

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. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” section below for more information.

During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part of the search.

The search times out after two minutes (the LED blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed code under that device key is retained).

The LED blinks four times and turns off when the remote has gone through all the codes.The remote exits the Brand Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1.Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some features of your devices don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.

2.Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from the beginning. When the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the ON•OFF key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.

3.Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4.Test the key’s functionality again by trying a variety of functions. If the code controls the majority of the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

TIP: Because there are so many codes, you may have to press the ON•OFF key many times—possibly hundreds of times.
