1To check if the code works

Aim your TV’s remote control at the equipment, and press the VCR/DVD and/or SAT/CABLE (POWER) button that corresponds with the equipment. If the equipment responds, the programming is completed. If not, try the next code listed.

Insert two size AA batteries (supplied) by matching the e and E on the batteries to the diagram inside the remote control’s battery compartment.

If you enter a new code number, the code number you previously entered at that setting is erased.

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.

Dead batteries or removing the batteries may cause the programmable codes to be lost and revert back to factory settings. Reprogramming the codes may be necessary.
