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 Auto Code Search Method from step 1. When you’ve found the code that turns your component back on, do not press the STOP key, which would store the code. Instead, with the unit now on, continue to press the REVERSE key repeatedly until the unit turns back off.
Note: If you cannot find another code in this block that works, press the PLAY button to continue searching through the code blocks. When the component turns off again, press the REVERSE key to find the code in that block that makes your component turn 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 Auto Code Search 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.
Code Retrieval
Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your components, you may want to record the codes for future reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just find the codes you entered and make a note of them in the boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method but don’t remember the code, you will need to retrieve each component’s
LED 1. Press and hold the component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX) whose code you wish to retrieve. The LED turns on. Keep pressing the component key.
2.While holding the component key down, press and hold the INFO key. The LED turns off. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the LED turns back on.
3.Release both keys. The LED remains on.
4.Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each number key on the keypad in the following order
Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR and DVR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; and all satellite receivers and cable boxes, the number 5.
5.Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all four numbers in the code. After the fourth number is retrieved, the LED blinks briefly, then turns off.
TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode, press and release the CLEAR key at any time.
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval process, the remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX, INFO, CLEAR), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The LED blinks four times, and then turns off.

Using the Remote to Control Your Components
Because this remote controls more than one component, you must first “tell” the remote which component you wish to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV Mode.
The remote stays in the chosen component mode (such as TV Mode) until you change it. If your remote is in TV Mode, you must change the mode in order to operate your DVD, VCR, DVR, auxiliary component, satellite receiver, or cable box. For example, if you are in DVD Mode, and you wish to turn off your TV, you must press the TV key first before pressing the POWER key.
Accessing Component Menus and Guides
Today’s advanced components use
To use a component’s
1.Make sure your components are turned on and your TV is set to a component input (Use the INPUT key to toggle through inputs when in TV Mode.)
LED 2. Press the component key whose menu you want to access.
3. To access menus, press the MENU key. To access guides, press the GUIDE key. The LED blinks, indicating you are in Menu or Guide Mode.
4. Use the VOL+/- and CH+/- keys to navigate through the
TIP: If the remote doesn’t respond, check to see that the LED is still blinking. The LED times out after 20 seconds. If this happens, just press the MENU
key again, and then retry your selection.
Exiting a Menu Mode
The remote automatically times out of Menu Mode after 20 seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that time, the remote clears the displayed menu from the TV.
If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the corresponding component key on the remote (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX). The LED turns off.
