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.
The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed code under that device key is retained).
The POWER key 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.

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
1. Press and hold the device key
(TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX) whose code you wish to retrieve. The POWER key illuminates. Keep pressing the
device key.
2.While holding the device key down, press and hold the INFO key. The POWER key turns off. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the POWER key turns back on.
3.Release both keys. The POWER key remains on.
4.Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each number key on the keypad in the following order:
0. The number that causes the POWER key to blink is the first number of the code. As you find each number of the code, write it 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; and
all satellite receivers, cable boxes and DTV converters, the number 5.
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•VCR, DVR•AUX). 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•VCR key controls the VCR or DVD 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•VCR, |
DVR•AUX). 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 |
turns a device on and off). To confirm that the device key is |
programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, |
test the device. Attempt to control a variety of the device’s |
your original remote control to access menu functions for some |
devices. |

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.

devices don’t work, try programming the remote with a different |
code in the list using the Direct Code Entry Method, until you |
find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of |
your device’s functions. Different codes can provide different |
levels of functionality. |
