4.Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method. 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. Example used is for TV component set up.

Note: The Auto Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory. 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.

!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.

!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.
2.	Press and hold the component key you wish to
	program. The illuminated component name turns on
(LIGHT	and remains on.

8. Once your component turns on, you have found

	the correct code. Save the new code by pressing and
	releasing the STOP key. The illuminated component
	name turns off. You must press the STOP key
(LIGHT	to save the code or the correct code will not
	be stored!
OFF)
	9. When you press the STOP key, the code is stored.
	10.To confirm that the component key is programmed
	with the correct code for maximum functionality, 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.”

Code Retrieval

Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your components, record the codes for future reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, just make a note of the codes you programmed 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 need to retrieve each component’s four-digit code. Noting the actual code will save you time if you ever need to program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you change the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your components, which is quick and easy.

hold the ON·OFF key. The illuminated component

4.After holding down both keys for three seconds, all of the component names illuminate and stay on.

(NAMES LIGHT UP) 5. Release both keys. The name of the current

component remains lit, while all other component names turn off.

Note: If you press an invalid key during Auto Code Search, the illuminated component name blinks four times and turns off. The last programmed code under that component key is retained.

6. 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 illuminated component name

blinks ten times and a block of 10 codes is 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 illuminated component name blinks four times and turns off. The Auto Code Search Entry method is exited.)

7. 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

1.Press and hold the component key whose code you wish to retrieve. The illuminated component name turns on.

2.While holding the component key down, press and hold the INFO key. The illuminated component name turns off.

3.After holding down both keys for three seconds, all of the component names illuminate and stay on.

4.Release both keys. The name of the current component remains lit, while all other component names turn off.

5.Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each number key in the following order (1-9, then 0). The number that causes the illuminated component name to blink is the first number of the code. As you find each number of the code, write them down for future reference.

Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR and DVR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; all AUDIO, the number 4; all satellite receivers and cable boxes, the number 5; all HDTVs, the number 7.

6.Repeat step 5 until you have retrieved all four numbers in the code.

7.After the fourth number is retrieved, the illuminated component name blinks briefly, then turns off.

8.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, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL, INFO, GO BACK), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The illuminated component name blinks four times, and then turns off.

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 illuminated component name 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.
