Programming Your Remote

The mode keys are the four buttons arched across the top of the remote. These buttons are labeled AUX, VCR, TV, and CBL and let you specify the device you want to control when you are using the remote. For example, to turn on your HDTV, you must first press TV to specify TV mode. Then press POWER.

Your remote control arrives from the factory already programmed with the following codes:

TV 0068

VCR 0095

CBL 0458

AUX 1037

These codes operate many popular brands of electronic devices. Before you program any new codes into your remote, you should check to see if the remote already controls your devices.

To test a mode key, turn on a device, press the mode key for that device, and then press POWER on the remote.

•If the device turns off, then the mode key is probably programmed correctly. You should not need to program a new code for that mode key.

•If the device does not turn off, you must program a new code for this mode key.

Follow these steps to program a mode key:

1.Find the code for your brand of device in one of the code lists in this guide. The code lists begin on page 28.

2.Make sure that the device is turned on.

3.Press SELECT and a mode key (AUX, VCR, TV or CBL) at the same time until the light at the top of the remote blinks twice. For example, to set up the TV key, press SELECT and TV at the same time.

4.Enter the code for the device. For example, if you have a Sony TV, enter 0 0 1 4.

5.Point the remote toward the device.

6.Press POWER, PLAY, or CH+ to test the device.

7.Did the device operate correctly?

•If yes, this mode key is programmed correctly. Write down these numbers on page 7 of this guide. You’re ready to use the same steps for the other mode keys.

•If no, repeat these steps using a different code.

Note: If all of the codes listed for your brand of device fail to operate your device properly, see What If None Of These Codes Work on

page 27.

To Unlock the CBL Mode Key

Your remote control is already set up to operate your set-top. The CBL mode key is locked to keep you from changing this setting accidentally. If you need to change this setting to operate another device, you must “unlock” the CBL mode key.

If you unlock your CBL mode key and change your CBL code, the remote will no longer control your set-top.

1.Press the SELECT key and the CBL key at the same time until the LED blinks twice.

2.Press 9 9 6.

3.Press CH- to unlock the remote.

Result: You can now set up your CBL key with a different cable code.
