To check if the code number works

Aim the TV’s remote control at the equipment and press SAT/CABLE that corresponds with that equipment. If it responds, you are done. If not, try using another code listed for that manufacturer.

If no code is input within the above specified time, or an invalid or incorrect code number is input, the remote control automatically goes back to the previous setting.

In some cases, you may not be able to program your remote control to operate other equipment. In such cases, use the equipment’s own remote control.

Removing the batteries or using dead batteries may cause the programmed codes to be lost and revert back to the factory setting. Reprogramming the codes may be necessary.
