Congratulations on your purchase of this Universal Remote Control. Universal Remotes let you replace a broken or lost remote or combine more than one remote into one.

We’ve even take this a step further and added a handy optional Find feature. By purchasing additional accessories you can easily locate a lost or misplaced remote, see page 13 for more details.

We’ve also added Braille to the most frequently used buttons to make them easier to ﬁ nd for the sight-impaired.

This remote control operates the common features of most 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 Universal Remote. After you are familiar with your remote the ﬁ rst thing you need to do is to install batteries and setup your remote for your particular product and brand.

Thank you for buying this Universal Remote and we hope it will give you many years of service.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically turns off if the buttons are depressed more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the buttons remain depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions).

Code Saver

You will have up to 10 minutes to change the batteries in your remote without losing codes you have programmed. However, do not press any buttons until batteries are installed in the remote. If buttons are pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will be lost.

Type Type stored Code

If your product does not respond after you have tried all the codes for your brand, or if your brand is not listed, try searching for your code by following these steps.

1. Manually turn on the device (TV, Cable Box, etc.) to be controlled.

2. Press and hold both the MUTE and POWER buttons at the same time until the green indicator under a mode button stays on, then release the buttons.

3. Press and quickly release the desired mode button (TV or SAT/CBL). The green indicator for that mode blinks off once.

If the device does not have a CHANNEL UP button, use POWER instead. Code Search starts from the currently stored 4 digit number under that mode.

Note: You can only store TV codes under the TV button. Most users will store Cable or Satellite codes under SAT/CBL. You can however store any type of code under SAT/ CBL. If (for example) you want to store a CD code under SAT/CBL, ﬁ rst follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry (previous page) and press SAT/CBL in step 2 of Direct Code Entry, then enter ANY CD code in step 3 of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps above for Code Search.

Code Identi cation Feature

The Code Identiﬁ cation Feature allows you to identify the 4 digit library code stored under your device key. For example, if you want to ﬁ nd out what 4 digit code is stored under your TV device key, follow the six steps below:

1. Press and hold both the MUTE and POWER buttons at the same time until the green indicator under a mode button stays on, then release the buttons.

2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV or SAT/CBL). The green indicator for that mode blinks, then stays lit.

4. To ﬁ nd the ﬁ rst digit for the code stored under the mode key pressed in step 2, press each numeric key from 0-9 in turn. When the green indicator blinks off the number you pressed is the ﬁ rst digit for the code you are searching for.

5. To ﬁ nd the second digit, repeat step 4, this time when the green indicator blinks off this is the second digit.

6. Repeat step 4 to ﬁ nd the third and fourth digits.

Programming Combo Device Codes

Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode buttons to control both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you have a TV/ DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code under the TV button to control the TV part AND a separate code (under any other Mode button) to control the DVD part.

Volume/Mute Control and Punch-Through Feature

This remote lets you select which device Mode controls your Volume/Mute buttons.

Any Mode chosen for Volume/Mute control MUST have its own Volume/Mute function or the Volume/Mute buttons will do nothing.
