Congratulations on your purchase of a Zenith Universal Remote
Control. Zenith Universal Remotes let you replace a broken or lost
remote or combine more than one remote into one. In addition, this
remote is equipped with a command learning feature which lets the
remote learn commands from your original equipment remote
control!
This remote control operates the common features of most but not
all models and brands of IR Infrared Controlled Video Equipment.
This remote may provide functions that are not available on your
equipment. Some functions of your particular equipment (e.g.
menu functions) may not be controlled by this remote.
In such cases, use the original remote control for your equipment.
Please use this manual to become familiar with your Zenith
Universal Remote. After you are familiar with your remote the first
thing you need to do is to install batteries and setup your remote
for your particular product and brand.
The remote also transmits wireless radio Frequency (RF) commands. The wireless receiver (included) receives these commands
and converts them to regular Infrared (IR) commands. These IR
commands are then emitted from the IR Extender (also included) to
control your A/V components. This lets you control your A/V
components from ANY room in your home - you don’t need to aim
the remote at your component!
Thank you for buying a Zenith remote and we hope it will give you
many years of service.

button to control the TV part of the combo unit AND a separate
code for the VCR or DVD under any other button you choose.

Code Entry
Programming with Code Search
Direct Code Entry
1. Press and hold the Code Search button until the red indicator
stays on. Release the Code Search button.
2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.).
The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
3. Enter the 3 digit code from the code tables. Note: after a valid
code entry, the red indicator turns off. For an invalid code, the
red indicator flashes.
4. With your device on, press CHANNEL Up. If the device
responds, no further programming is required. Note: If some
buttons do not operate your equipment, try one of the other
codes for your brand.

3.
1. Manually turn on the device (TV , VCR, etc.) to be controlled.
2. Press and hold Code Search button until the red indicator
stays on. Release the Code Search button.
3. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.).
The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
4. Press the Channel Up button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until
the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator
blinks, then stays lit. If you accidentally overshoot the code
required, press the Channel Down button to backtrack through
the library until the device changes channel. Pressing Channel
Up changes direction to forward again. Press and release the
Mute button to install the code.
The above assumes that you want to store VCR codes under the
VCR button, Cable codes under CBL, etc. If you want to store a
VCR code under CBL, etc., first follow the procedure on page 10
and try ANY CBL code from the code tables, e.g. press CBL in step
2, page 10, and then enter ANY VCR code. Then follow the steps
above.
Note: If the device does not have a Channel Up button, use Play
(VCR only) or Power instead. Code Search starts from the currently
stored three digit number under that mode e.g. if the mode has 100
codes and the currently stored code is 050 then the Code Search
starts from 051 continuing to 100 before looping back to 000 and
finishing at 050. This simplifies the process if you find that
several preprogrammed codes operate your device by allowing
you to bypass codes already tried.
Write your codes down here for easy reference later.

Tips On Learning
1. Use fresh batteries for both the Learning Remote and the
Original Remote.
2. Perform a Master clear (see page 15) before learning.
3. Place the original remote end-to-end with the Learning Remote
so the IR transmitters on both remotes are directly in line with
each other. Keep the two remotes approximately one inch away
from each other .
4. Experiment by learning 2 or 3 commands initially (to ensure
compatibility and familiarity) and then carry out a Master Clear
before completely learning your original remote’s commands.
5. Do not try to learn directly under an incandescent or lowenergy light as these can cause interference with learning. Keep
at least three feet away from any such light sources.
