6. Once you have found the correct code, you must
save the new code by pressing the STOP key. The
LED turns off. You must press the STOP key to
save the code or the correct code will not be stored! When
you press the STOP key, the code is stored.
Note: If the remote cycles through and the LED blinks four times
and turns off, all codes have been searched. The Manual Code Search
method is exited.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to retrieve the code your remote programmed
by finishing the Code Retrieval process found on page 5.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
Different remote control codes can provide different levels
of functionality. To confirm that the component key is
programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality,
follow the steps below.
1.
Make sure your component is on. Attempt to control a
variety of the component’s functions with the remote. If
some features of your components do not work, go to step 2
to try a different code.
2. Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from
step 1. When the component turns off for the first time,
do not press the STOP key, which would store the code.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the
POWER key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code
that operates the component. Press the STOP key.
4. Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a
variety of the component’s functions.
If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the
component’s functions, programming is complete.
If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try
another code—start from step 2 of this section.
Auto Code Search and Entry
The Auto Code Search and Entry Method enables the remote
to automatically search through all the codes in the Code Lists
for the one that operates your component.
Note: The Auto Code Search method may take a long time because
the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory for the code
that operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is listed in the
Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the
Direct Code Entry method described earlier.
TIP: To exit without saving at any point in the Auto Code Search,
press the CLEAR key.
1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to
control (TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, satellite receiver, cable box,
or audio component).
Notes:
• To program the DVR•AUX1 key to control a component other than
a DVR, see page 3.
• To program the VCR•AUX2 key to control a component other than
a VCR, see page 3.
2. Press and hold the component key
(TV, SAT•CBL, DVD, DVR•AUX1,
AUDIO, VCR•AUX2) you wish to
program. The LED turns on and
remains on. Keep holding down the
component key.
3. While holding the component key
down, press and hold the POWER
LED
key. The LED turns off. After holding down both keys for
three seconds, the LED turns back on.
4. Release both keys. The LED remains on.
Notes:
• To program the DVR•AUX1 key to control a component other than
a DVR, see page 3.
• To program the VCR•AUX2 key to control a component other than
a VCR, see page 3.
key. The LED turns off. After holding down both keys for
three seconds, the LED turns back on.
4. Release both keys. The LED remains on.
Note: If you press an invalid key during Manual Code Search, the
remote does not respond and the search times out after two minutes.
When the search times out, the LED blinks four times and turns off.
The last programmed code under that component key is retained.
TIP: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the
remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently
programming the remote to control.
5. Press the POWER key repeatedly until your component
turns off. Each time you press the POWER key, the LED
blinks, and the next code in the list is sent. This process
continues until all of the codes in the Code Lists have been
tried. If your component turns off, you have found the
correct code.
TIP: Because there are so many codes, you may have to press the
POWER key many times—possibly hundreds of times.
2. Press and hold the component key
(TV, SAT•CBL, DVD, DVR•AUX1,
AUDIO, VCR•AUX2) you wish to
program. The LED turns on and
remains on. Keep holding down the
component key.
3. While holding the component key
down, press and hold the POWER
LED
Note: If you press an invalid key during Auto Code Search, the
remote does not respond and the search times out after two minutes.
When the search times out, the LED blinks four times and turns off.
The last programmed code under that component key is retained.
TIP: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the
remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently
programming the remote to control.
5. Press the PLAY key, then wait five seconds to see
if your component turns off. If your component
does not respond, continue to press the PLAY key
every five seconds until your component turns off.
Each time you press the PLAY key, the LED blinks several
times and a block of 10 codes are sent to your component.
This process continues until all of the codes in the Code Lists
have been searched. If your component has not turned off
after all codes have been searched, the LED blinks four times
and turns off. The Auto Code Search Entry method is exited.
6. When your component turns off, you know the
correct code is in the last block of 10 codes sent.
Press the REVERSE key. Wait two seconds to see if
your component turns on again.
If your component does not respond, continue to press the
REVERSE key every two seconds until your component
turns on again. This will isolate the correct code in the last
block of codes sent. Each time the REVERSE key is pressed,
the LED blinks.
Note: If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your
component responds, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two
seconds to see if your component turns off again.
7. Once your component turns on, you have found
the correct code. Press the STOP key to save the
new code. The LED turns off.
IMPORTANT: You must press the STOP key to save the code or the
correct code will not be stored!
Note: To confirm that the component key is programmed with
the correct code for maximum functionality, it is necessary to test
the component. If some of the features of your component do not
work, different codes in the list can be tried until you find the code
that allows the remote to control the majority of your component’s
functions. See the section entitled “Testing the Code for Maximum
Functionality” on the next page for more information.
