Automatic Code Search
The Automatic Code Search method tests all of the codes for a specific component button. 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.
1.Turn on the TV.
2.Press and hold the TV button.While you continue pressing the TV button, press and hold the ON•OFF button until the indicator light on the remote turns on— then release both buttons.
3.Point the remote at the TV. 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 (you’ll know it’s found the correct code when the TV turns off, go to step 4). If, after 5 seconds, the TV doesn’t turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the TV turns off or you have searched through all of the codes.There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate your brand of TV— you’ll have to use the remote that came with your TV.
4.When the TV turns off, the remote has found the proper code. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the TV turns back ON.
5.To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.
