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 CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.
Note: The AUX•HD button on this remote is set by default to search for codes for DVD players only. If you want to program it for use with a different component, use the direct entry method.
1.Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2.Press and hold the component button you want to program (DVD or AUX•HD). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3.Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.
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.
