Programming Methods (continued)

!TIP: To exit without saving at any point in the Manual Code Search, press and release the

GO BACK key.

1.Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or cable box).

Note: If you press an invalid key during the Manual Code Search, the remote does not respond and the LED indicator light does not blink. If you do not press a valid Manual Code Search key (TV,

VCR·DVD, SAT·CBL, ON·OFF,

GO BACK), the search times out after two minutes. When the search times out, the LED indicator light blinks four times and turns off. The last programmed code under that component key is retained.

2.If you are programming the remote to control your TV or satellite receiver, go directly to step 3. To program the remote to control a VCR or DVD follow the preprogramming method listed below.

Preprogramming the VCR/DVD key

The VCR·DVD key can control only one component, either your VCR or

	LED	your DVD. To program your remote to
		control either your DVD or your VCR,
		you must first put the remote in the
		proper programming mode. Follow
		these directions before proceeding to
	LED	step 3.
		a. Press and hold the VCR·DVD key.
		The LED indicator light turns on.
		b. While holding down the VCR·DVD
		key, press and release the number 2
		key on the keypad to control a VCR or
		the number 3 key to control a DVD.
		The LED indicator light turns off.
		c. Release the VCR·DVD key. The LED
		indicator light blinks four times and
		then turns off. Your remote is now
		either in VCR or DVD Programming
		Mode, depending on which you
	BLINK	chose. Proceed to step 3.
		3. Press and hold the component
		key (TV, VCR·DVD, SAT·CBL)
		you wish to program. The LED
		indicator light turns on and
6		remains on.

4. While holding the component key down, press and hold the ON·OFF key. The LED indicator light turns off.

	LED	5. After holding down both keys for
			three seconds, the LED indicator
			light turns back on.
		6. Release both keys. The LED
			indicator light remains on.
						Throughout the
			!	TIP:
LED			programming of each key, be sure
			to keep the remote pointed at the
			IR sensor of the component you
	LED		are currently programming the
			remote to control.
		7. Press and release the ON·OFF key
			repeatedly until your component
			turns off. Each time you press the
			ON·OFF key, the LED indicator
			light blinks, and the next code in
BLINK			the list is sent. This process
			continues until all of the codes in
			the Code Lists have been
			searched. If your component
			turns off, you have found the
			correct code. (If it cycles through
			and the LED indicator light
			blinks four times and turns off,
			all codes have been searched.
			The Manual Code Search
			method is exited.)
					Because there are so many
			!	TIP:
			codes, you may have to press the
			ON•OFF key many times—possibly
			up to 200 times.
		8. Once you have found the correct
			code, you must save the new
			code by pressing and releasing
			the STOP key. The LED indicator
	LED		light turns off. You must press the
			STOP key to save the code or the
			correct code will not be stored!
		9. Once you press the STOP key,
			the code is stored.

Testing the Code for

Maximum Functionality

To confirm that the component key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, it is necessary to test the component. If some of the features of your component do not work, different codes in the list can be tried until you find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of your component’s functions. Different codes can provide different levels of functionality. Follow these steps to test for maximum functionality, if you have programmed your remote using

Manual Code Search and Entry Method.
