Using the Remote Control

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.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component 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 that component.

Note: To cancel Code Search, press CLEAR at any time.

If the component you want to operate does turn off:

1.Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.

2.To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.

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 in this section.

3.Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

4.Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.

5.Release the component button.

6.Point the remote at the component. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

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

If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It

Because this universal remote can operate several different components it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to operate the monitor, you would press the MONITOR button to put the remote into Monitor mode before you could operate the unit.

1.Press the appropriate component button (DVD, MONITOR, VCR1, etc.) to set the remote to operate the component.

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

3.Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes:

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

If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR1 on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
