1. Manually turn on the device you want to control.
2.Press and hold the device key you want to program. While you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same time.
3. Wait until the remote’s indicator light comes on and stays on. Then release both keys.
4.Point the remote directly at the front panel of the device you want to control. Press POWER on the remote and wait 2 seconds. The remote is testing a single code for your device.
Did your device turn off?
YES: Press the STOP key to store the code. You’re done! You’ve programmed this device key.
NO: Press POWER again. The remote tests the next code for your device.
Keep pressing POWER every 2 seconds until your device turns back on. When it does, press STOP.
TIP: Because there are so many codes, you may have to press the POWER key many times—possibly hundreds of times.
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.
During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
Tour of the Remote
In most cases, the keys on this remote perform the same functions as the keys on your original remotes once you’ve programmed this remote to operate your components. Many keys on this remote have other functions as well.
Device keys (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, DVR•AUX1, AUDIO, VCR•AUX2) put the remote in the right mode to control your device.
SLOW•ASPECT key changes between full- and widescreen formats on HDTVs; it also activates slow playback on DVDs and DVRs.
GUIDE and MENU put the remote in menu/guide mode; they also access the same features as the keys on your original remotes.
CLEAR exits remote programming; it also performs the same functions as on your original remotes.
Arrow keys act as navigation keys in device guides and menu systems.

4.Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or manual code search to program the DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2 key.
Volume Punch-Through
Volume Punch-through allows the VOL and MUTE keys, when pressed in SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, DVR or VCR modes, to “punch through” to either TV or AUDIO, whichever was accessed last.
Volume Punch-Through occurs automatically and allows you to control the volume without exiting the current mode. (If either AUX key has been programmed with a TV or AUDIO code, volume can punch through to these devices as well.)
Note: Volume Punch-Through does not occur in cases where the component code has its own volume/mute controls, such as some satellite receivers.
Advanced Punch-Through
Volume Punch-Through, as described above, occurs automatically. If you want to specify whether Volume Punch-
Code Retrieval
Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices, 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 device’s four-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing it down will save you time if you ever need to program the remote again. If the codes are recorded, you can use the Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your devices, which is quick and easy.

4.Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then 0. The number that causes the indicator light to blink is the first number of the code. As you find each number of the code, write it down for future reference. Then start with the number 1 key again.
Note: All TV codes start with the number 1; all VCR and DVR codes start with the number 2; all DVD players codes, the number 3; all audio device codes, the number 4; and all satellite receiver, cable box, and digital TV converters, the number 5.
5.Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in the code. After the fifth number is retrieved, the indicator light blinks briefly, then turns off.
TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the CLEAR key.
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, DVR•AUX1, AUDIO, VCR•AUX2, INFO, CLEAR), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The indicator light blinks four times, and then turns off.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The remote does not operate your device.
•Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, DVR•AUX1, AUDIO, VCR•AUX2). This tells the remote which device to operate.
•Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make sure you’re aiming the remote at the device’s IR sensor.
•Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if necessary (see the Battery Installation section).
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate your device.
•If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may be too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the device. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at the device you’re trying to control.
•If you’re using the Direct Entry programming method to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning properly, try the auto, brand, or manual search method.
•To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must program the individual corresponding device keys to control each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully, the
TV key controls the TV functions, and the DVD or VCR•AUX2 key controls the DVD or VCR functions.
•Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.
• | Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the |
| corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, DVR•AUX1, |
| AUDIO, VCR•AUX2). This tells the remote which device to |
| operate. |
• | Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has a |
| disc loaded). |
• | You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in. |
• | If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try pressing |
| the ENTER key after entering the channel number as this is a |
| requirement of certain models and brands. |
• | There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be |
| able to control some of your device features (for example, only |

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 key to change device modes.
Through is directed to the TV or AUDIO while in SAT•CBL, DVD, DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2 modes, follow the steps below.
Note: This option can also be enabled for an AUX key, if it is programmed with a VCR, DVR, DVD, CD, SAT or TV code.
1.Press and hold the key whose volume commands you want to send to the TV or audio device. The indicator light turns on.
2.While holding down the device key, press and hold the
VOL up key. The indicator light turns off.
3.After holding down both keys for 3 seconds, the indicator light turns on and stays on. Release both keys.
4.Press and release the device key you want the Volume Punch-Through to be directed to from the selected mode
(TV, AUDIO or AUX key). The indicator light flashes, then turns off.
Note: The device key pressed in step 4 must be programmed with a TV or AUDIO component. If an invalid key is pressed, the LED flashes four times, then turns off.
Important: Once you have programmed any device with a specified Volume Punch-Through, the Volume Punch-Through for all other devices defaults to AUDIO. If you do not want other components’ Volume Punch-Through to default to AUDIO, you must manually program them, using steps 1-4.
