Programming the Remote

The CANCEL button is used as visual feedback during the programming operation. During programming, the CANCEL button illuminates when buttons are pressed and turns off when buttons are released. When programming is finished, the CANCEL button blinks slowly to indicate success and blinks rapidly to indicate failure.

Note: All component buttons are inoperable during Programming Mode.

There are three ways to program the remote control to operate other components: Direct Entry, Manual Code Search, and Automatic Code Search. You must try Direct Entry for at least one code before trying the other methods.

Using Direct Entry

1.Turn on the component you want to control.

2.On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately

3 seconds) until the CANCEL button illuminates. Release the buttons.

3.Press and release the component button.

4.Enter the appropriate four-digit code for the component you want to operate. The first digit indicates the component type (0 for DVD, 1 for Satellite TV, 2 for Cable, 3 for DVR, 4 for VCR, 5 for Audio, 6 for CD); the other three digits indicate the brand and model. Look up the brand and codes for the component in the list at the end of this section. Codes are listed by component type and are arranged alphabetically.

5.The CANCEL button blinks slowly to indicate success. Repeat these steps until you’ve tested all codes for your component’s brand, or try to run a Manual Code Search.

Using a Manual Code Search

Note: Before using Manual Code Search, use Direct Entry. This lets the remote know which type of component you are programming. Then proceed with the following steps:

1.Turn on the component you want to control.

2.On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately

3 seconds) until the CANCEL button illuminates. Release the buttons.

3.Press and release the component button.

4.Repeatedly press and release the left arrow or right arrow, watching for the component to respond. If the component turns off, press and release the OK button to save the code. The CANCEL button blinks slowly to indicate success.

5.When all codes have been searched, the CANCEL button blinks rapidly to indicate failure, and the remote returns to normal operation.

Note: Use the right arrow to search ahead; use the left arrow to search back. Press the ON•OFF button to switch to Automatic Code Search Mode.
