Using the Remote Control
Important
You must continue pressing the component button while you enter the code.
Let’s say you have a Zenith VCR player. To program the universal remote to operate the VCR, you would:
Press and hold the AUX•HD button while you enter the first code listed for Zenith in the VCR Codes column.
Release the AUX•HD button. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR player responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same steps, but enter the second code for Zenith VCR players instead of the first.
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 PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light on the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all codes for that particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn off, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate that component.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1.Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.
2.To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off. A code that controls your component has been saved to that remote button.
Using Direct Entry
1.Turn on the component to be programmed.
2.Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.
3.Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4.Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.
5.Release the component button, point the remote at the component and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. 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.
