Code Entry Programming
1. Turn on all the electronic devices (TV, VCR, DVD, AUDIO) you want to program the remote to operate.
2. Press [OK / SEL] then [MUTE] together until the power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CABLEà TV à VCR à DVD à AUDIO à CABLE…).
3. a. To program your TV, locate the 3-digit code for your brand in the TV Setup Code list and enter it on the keypad of the remote control. Entry of the correct code will cause your TV to turn off. If multiple codes are listed for your brand, you may have to enter different codes until your TV turns off.
b. As soon as you have entered a 3-digit code that
turns
your TV off, press [MUTE].
1. If the TV turns back on, press [OK / SEL] to lock
in the code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3-times and go out.
Or
2. If the TV does not turn back on, enter a different
3-digit setup code until your TV turns back on. Then press [OK / SEL] to lock in the code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3-times and go out.
4. To program your VCR or DVD, refer to the VCR or DVD Setup Code lists and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
5. To program your AUDIO equipment, refer to the AUDIO Setup Code list and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
Point and Press® Programming
This method allows you to program the remote control without using codes. Instead, the remote control automatically finds the correct command that you select in a variety of codes until you find the code that operates your device. You then lock in the correct code as described below.
The following instructions describe how to program your remote control using the [CH Ù] or [CH Ú] buttons ("Power" function during programming). You may also program your remote control using other buttons / functions as described in Section 14. When using this method, there are several important points to remember:
The order in which you program your electronic devices is not important.
There may be several codes that turn your electronic
devices on / off (or perform other functions). Once you lock-in a code, be sure to check the available functions for that device (i.e. TV - Vol Ù/Ú-, Mute, TV Input (TV / VCR button), VIDEO - Play, Stop..., AUDIO - Vol Ù/Ú, Mute) to see if they are operating.
While the remote is searching for the correct setup code(s) for your electronic devices, it is possible that other (previously programmed) devices may turn on / off (or perform other functions). If this occurs, continue pressing the [CH Ù] or [CH Ú] buttons (or the buttons described in Section 14) until you find the correct code for the device you are programming.
It may take several minutes for the remote to find the correct code that turns your device off (or performs another selected function). During this time, the power / mode buttons will illuminate in fast-rotation (i.e. CABLE à TV à VCR à DVD à AUDIO à CABLE…).
Programming your electronic devices using the [CH Ù] or [CH Ú] buttons (“Power” function during programming)...
1. Turn on all the electronic devices (TV, VCR, DVD, AUDIO)
you want to program the remote to operate.
2. Press [OK / SEL] then [MUTE] together until the power /
mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CABLE à TV à VCR à DVD à AUDIO à CABLE…).
3. Press and hold the [CH Ù] button until one device turns
off. While you are pressing the [CH Ù] button, the power
/
mode buttons will illuminate in fast-rotation. As soon as one device turns off, release the [CH Ù] button.
4. Press [MUTE]. If the device that turned off...
a. Turns back on, press [OK / SEL] to lock in this
code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3-times and go
out.
Or
b. Does not turn back on, press [CH Ú] one step at a
time until that device turns back on. Each time you press the [CH Ú] button, the power / mode buttons will illuminate once in reverse fast-rotation (AUDIO à DVD à VCR à TV à CABLE).
Once you have found a code that turns the device on / off, press [OK / SEL] to lock in this code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3-times and go out.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 above for each of the remaining electronic devices you wish to program the remote to operate.
6. Programming TV / VCR Combinations
1. First, turn on your TV / VCR combination device and install a VHS tape.
2. Next, program your remote to operate the TV functions.
Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, find a TV Setup Code that operates the TV functions (power, vol, Ù,Ú, mute) of your TV / VCR unit.
3. Last, program your remote to operate the VCR functions.
Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, enter, lock and test each 3-digit VCR Setup Code for your brand until a code is found that operates
the transport functions (play, stop, rew, fwd, pause, rec) of your TV / VCR unit.

14. Additional Programming Information,
Troubleshooting, Tips
Additional Programming Information
1. The power / mode buttons will illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CABLE à TV à VCR à DVD à AUDIO à CABLE…) while the remote is in a programming mode. In the absence of a keypress entry, the power / mode buttons will stop illuminating after 45-seconds and the remote will exit the programming mode.
2. When programming the remote control using the [CH Ù] or [CH Ú] buttons (Power function) in the Point and Press® Programming method, you may find a code that turns a device off but not back on. If this happens…
a. The correct code has not been found as you may
have
a code that operates some but not all of the functions of your device. Continue pressing [CH Ù] until your device turns on.
OR
b. You may have gone past the correct matching code.
Try pressing [CH θ] one press at a time until you find a code that turns your device back on.
3. When using the Point and Press® Programming method, you can also program your remote using buttons other than the [CH Ù] or [CH Ú] as described in Section 5 as follows:
a. [VOL Ù] – to “go forward” through the codes using the
“VOL Ù” function on your devices.
b. [VOL Ú] – to “go back” through the codes using the
“VOL Ú “ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the volume of the device being programmed will increase or decrease.
c. [Ù] - to “go forward” through the codes using
the “Ch Ù” function on your devices.
d. [Ú] - to “go back” through the codes using the
“Ch Ú “ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the channel
of
the device being programmed will increase or decrease.
e. [ØØ] - to “go forward” through the codes using the
“Fast Forward” function on your devices.
f. [××] - to “go back” through the codes using the
“Rewind” function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the fast­forward or rewind function of the device being programmed will be performed. To simplify programming using these buttons, insert a VHS tape or DVD in the device being programmed.
You can also program your remote using the other available functions as follows:
a. Press [OK / SEL] then [MUTE] together until the
power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CABLE à TV à VCR àDVD à AUDIO à CABLE…).
b. In this order, carefully press [0], [0], [0], [CHÙ] and
[VOL Ù]. The power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CABLE à TV à VCR à DVD à AUDIO à CABLE…).
c. You can now program your remote using the
[CH Ù/Ú], [Vol Ù/Ú],[FFWD], [REW], [PLAY], [STOP], [REC], [PAUSE], [LAST], [FAV], [0] - [9] buttons. When you find the correct code, the
function
associated with the selected button will be
performed.
4. Your remote is equipped with 2 programming labels on the back of its case.
a. Point and Press® Programming - This will help you
quickly program the remote without using codes.
b. Mode-Lock™ - Your model RT-U50 comes “locked” in
its cable-operating mode. To operate more functions on your TV, VCR, DVD and AUDIO devices, you can unlock your remote using the simple instructions on the back of your remote or refer to Section 10.
Troubleshooting / Tips
1. If the same button is pressed and held for 45-seconds, your remote control will turn itself off automatically. This extends the battery life should the remote become lodged under or between heavy objects, for example sofa cushions.
2. If you have a TV that’s operated by remote control, it is recommended that you plug it directly into a wall outlet instead of the cable set-top terminal.
3. If you have any questions concerning the brand, model or operation of your cable set-top terminal, contact your cable operator.
4. If the [DEVICE] button is not operating, the remote is in its
locked mode. To set the remote to its unlocked mode, see Section 10.
