Using the Remote Control

6.To test the code you’ve programmed for that device button, point the remote at the device and then press ON•OFF to see if the device responds to the remote control.

If the device turns off, you’ve entered the correct programming code for your device. Circle the code you entered for future reference.

If the device doesn’t turn off, repeat these steps until you’ve tested all codes for your device’s brand or try to run a manual code search.

Using Manual Code Search

Note: Before using manual code search, you must use Direct Entry first. This lets the remote know which type of device to begin searching codes. Then proceed with the following steps.

1.Turn on the device you want to control.

2.On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.

3.Press and release the device button (SAT•CABLE, VCR, DVD, AUX or AUDIO) you want to program.

4.Repeatedly press and release the ON•OFF button, watching for the device to respond. If it does turn off, press and release the OK button within 3 seconds to save the code. If you accidentally passed the code before saving it, press the left arrow button to backtrack through the codes; then use the right arrow button to go forward through the codes again.

When all codes have been searched, the device button flashes 3 times, then the remote exits manual code search and returns to normal operation.

Using Automatic Code Search

1.Turn on the device you want to control.

2.On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold ON•OFF and MUTE (approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.

3.Press and release the device button you want to program.

4.Press and release the ON•OFF button once. There is a delay of approximately 6 seconds before the remote starts the code search.

The device buttons blinks each time the remote control sends a code to test with your device. Keep pointing the remote at the device.

5.Once the device turns off, quickly press the OK button to save the code. If you accidentally passed the code before saving it, press the left arrow button to backtrack through the codes; then use the right arrow button to go forward through the codes again.

When all codes have been searched, the device button flashes 3 times, then the remote exits automatic code search and returns to normal operation.
