Searching and sampling the code of a device (8500)

If you do not know the device code for a particular target unit, you can cycle the remote control through the available codes for that device mode and sample the functions to find the code that properly operates the target device. The keys available to be sampled, provided they are applicable to that mode, are POWER, 1, VOL y, CH y, and PLAY. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:

Note:

When a search cycle is completed, the mode indicator will blink three times. The remote control will begin to cycle through the available codes again. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while programming, the remote control will exit the program mode and return to the previous code.
