Using the Remote Control

Important:

This remote may not be compatible with all models of all brands of components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

Note:

The DIRECTV button cannot be programmed.

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 at the end of this section.

3.On your remote control, press and hold the component button you want to program.

4.While pressing the component button, enter a code from the code list. If all of the component buttons flash 4 times in unison, then the code you’ve entered is not the right kind of code for that button (see pages 35 and 36 to see which buttons can be programmed to control the component you want).

5.Release the component button, point the remote at the component and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the remote control commands. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF (or other buttons on the remote) again.

6.If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote control commands.

Operating Other Components

Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to operate your components.

To Operate the Component:

1.Press the component button (TV, VCR, DVD, DIRECTV, AUX1, or AUX2) to set the remote to control the component.

2.Press ON•OFF to turn the component on or off.

3.Use the remote control 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.

Note: Your remote’s buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you’re using another component’s menu system.

Tip:

If something unexpected happens (or if nothing happens) when you press a remote control button, check which component button lights up when you press that button. If the wrong component button lights up, press the component button the corresponds to the component you want to control – this puts the remote control in the right mode. Now that the remote is in the correct mode, press the button you were pressing before.

Modes of Operation

Because this universal remote can control several different components (DVD player, VCR, cable box, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote control to operate the TV, press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode. If you want the remote to operate the VCR, press the VCR button.

The button corresponding to the mode the remote is in lights up when you press any button that works in that mode. For example, if you’re in TV mode and you press the VOL+ button, the TV button lights up. This tells you that the command to increase the volume is being sent to the TV (and not the satellite receiver, for example).
