Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
Different remote control codes can provide different levels of functionality. To confirm that the component key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, follow the steps below.
1.Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions with the remote. If some features of your components do not work, go to step 2 to try a different code.
2.Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from step 1. When the component turns off for the first time, do not press the STOP key, which would store the code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the POWER key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.
3.Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code that operates the component. Press the STOP key.
4.Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the component’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the component’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code.
5.Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from step 1. Each time a code turns the component on or off, you have found a code that operates the remote and needs to be tested for maximum functionality. Continue through the code lists, cycling through the codes you have already tried, until you find one that offers maximum functionality.
Auto Code Search and Entry
The Auto Code Search and Entry Method enables the remote to automatically search through all the codes in the Code Lists for the one that operates your component.
Note: The Auto Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory for the code that operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code Entry method described on pages
TIP: To exit without saving at any point in the Auto Code Search, press and release the CLEAR key.
1.Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, satellite receiver, or cable box).
Notes:
•To program the DVD•VCR key to control a VCR, see page 3.
•To program the DVR•AUX key to control a component other than a DVR, see below.
LED 2. Press and hold the component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX) you wish to program. The LED turns on and remains on. 
Keep holding down the component key.
3.While holding the component key down, press and hold the POWER key. The LED turns off. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the LED turns back on.
4.Release both keys. The LED remains on.
Note: If you press an invalid key during Auto Code Search, the remote does not respond and the search times out after two minutes. When the search times out, the LED blinks four times and turns off. The last programmed code under that component key is retained.
TIP: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control.
5. Press and release the PLAY key, then wait five seconds to see if your component turns off. If your component does not respond, continue to press the PLAY key every five seconds until your component turns off.
Each time you press the PLAY key, the LED blinks several times and a block of 10 codes are sent to your component. This process continues until all of the codes in the Code Lists have been searched. If your component has not turned off after all codes have been searched, the LED blinks four times and turns off. The Auto Code Search Entry method is exited.
6. When your component turns off, you know the correct code is in the last block of 10 codes sent. Press and release the REVERSE key. Wait two seconds to see if your component turns on again.
If your component does not respond, continue to press the REVERSE key every two seconds until your component turns on again. This will isolate the correct code in the last block of codes sent. Each time the REVERSE key is pressed, the LED blinks.
Note: If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your component responds, press and release the FORWARD key. Then, wait two seconds to see if your component turns off again.
7. Once your component turns on, you have found the correct code. You must save the new code by pressing and releasing the STOP key. The LED turns off. When you press the STOP key, the code is stored.
IMPORTANT: You must press the STOP key to save the code or the correct code will not be stored!
8.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. See the section entitled “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” on the next page for more information.
Programming the DVR•AUX Key To Control Other Components
The DVR•AUX key defaults to control a DVR. If you want the DVR•AUX key to control a different component (an additional TV, DVD, satellite or cable box, for example), you must preprogram the DVR•AUX key.
DVR•AUX KEY CONTROLS: |
|
Additional TV | press 1 |
VCR or DVR | press 2 |
Additional DVD | press 3 |
Additional satellite or cable box | press 5 |
|
|
1.Press and hold the DVR•AUX key. The LED turns on.
2.While holding down the DVR•AUX key, press and release the number key on the keypad for the component you wish to control (see the chart on the left). The LED turns off.
3.Release the DVR•AUX key. The LED blinks four times and then turns off. The DVR•AUX key is now “set” to control whichever component you selected.
4.Next, program the DVR•AUX key to control the brand of component you have. Remember to consult the appropriate component code list. For instance, if you have programmed the DVR•AUX key to control an additional DVD, consult the DVD Code List.Program the key to control your component with the Code List enclosed.
