NOTES
Throughout the programming of each key, keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are programming the remote to control.
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” section below for more information.
CH and VOL keys have dual functions: they can act as navigation keys in menu systems as well as channel and volume controllers outside the menus.
The INPUT and — (dash) key has three functions: (1) it toggles through all the video sources connected to your TV; (2) when the remote is in VCR mode, this button toggles between VCR and the TV input; (3) when you’re entering digital channel numbers directly, this button lets you separate the main channel number from the sub-channel number (such as 59.1).

Limited Lifetime Warranty
Audiovox Electronics Corporation (the “Company”) warrants to you the original retail purchaser of this product that should it, under normal use and conditions, be proven defective in material or workmanship during its lifetime while you own it, such defect(s) will be repaired or replaced (at the Company’s option) without charge for parts and repair labor. To obtain repair or replacement within the terms of this Warranty, the product is to be delivered with proof of warranty coverage (e.g. dated bill of sale), specification of defect(s), transportation prepaid, to the Company at the address shown below.
This Warranty does not cover product purchased, serviced or used outside the United States or Canada. This Warranty is not transferable and does not extend to costs incurred for installation, removal or reinstallation of the product. This Warranty does not apply if in the Company’s opinion, the product has been damaged through alteration, improper installation, mishandling, misuse, neglect, accident, or the simultaneous use of different battery types (e.g. alkaline, standard or rechargeable).
THE EXTENT OF THE COMPANY’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT PROVIDED ABOVE AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL THE COMPANY’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE
During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the indicator blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed code under that device key is retained).
The indicator blinks four times and turns off when the remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the Brand Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a different search method.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1.Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some features of your devices don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.
2.Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from the beginning. When the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP key, which would store the same 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 device. Press the STOP key.
4.Test the key’s functionality again by trying a variety of functions. If the code controls the majority of the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code.
IMPORTANT
Because this remote controls more than one device, you must first “tell” the remote which device 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 that device mode until you press a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must press the DVD•VCR key to change device modes.

Many devices use on-screen menus and guides to help you navigate through all their features and programming. While this remote may not access every menu or guide system of every device model, it does offer some menu and guide functionality.
To use a device’s on-screen menu or guide system, you first have to put the remote in Menu or Guide Mode.
1.Make sure your devices are turned on and your TV is set to the correct device input (use the INPUT key to toggle through inputs when in TV Mode.)
2.Press the device key whose menu you want to access.
