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.
Backlighting
Backlight illumination helps you see the remote control keys better in the dark. You can turn backlight illumination on or off by pressing the backlight key
(
). Backlighting stays on as long as keys are being pressed and turns off four seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time has timed out, any keypress will reactivate it. If the backlight illumination is on, and you press the backlight key, the backlight turns off.
Important: Once you have programmed any device with a specified Volume

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, AUDIO, VCR, AUX1, 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 three 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 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, AUDIO, VCR, AUX1, 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 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 functions with the remote. If some of the features of your 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.
