Using the Remote Control
Tip
To stop the automatic code search without programming any components, press and hold CLEAR until the light in the component button turns off.
Using Automatic Code Search
If Direct Entry does not work for your component, try Auto Code Search. The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press and hold CLEAR until the light in the component button turns off.
1.Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, satellite receiver, etc.)
2.Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR, DVD, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the component button on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3.Point the remote at the component.
4.Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the component button stops flashing. Make sure you have the remote pointed at the component when you press PLAY.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. The component buttons flash when all codes have been searched, the component button turns off, and remote exits Automatic Code Search.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1.Press and release REV, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.
2.To finish, press and hold STOP until the component button on the remote turns off.
Component Buttons
Note
Some of the remote’s buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you’re using another component’s menu system.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to operate the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could control the TV.
1.Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUX/HD, AUDIO) 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. The component button on your remote lights up when you press valid buttons while in that component’s mode.
Notes:
•The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.
•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 VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
