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 ▲] or [CH ▼] 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 ▲/▼, Mute, TV Input , VCR Play, Stop..., DVD - Play, Stop..., AUDIO - Vol▲/▼,
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 ▲] or [CH ▼] 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 Æ
TV Æ VCR Æ DVD Æ AUDIO Æ CABLE…).
Programming your electronic devices using the [Ch ▲] or
[Ch ▼] 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 [SELECT] then [MUTE] together until the power /
mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CABLE Æ TV
Æ VCR Æ DVD Æ AUDIO Æ CABLE…).
3. Press and hold the [CH ▲] button until one
device turns
off. While you are pressing the [CH ▲] button, the power /
mode buttons will illuminate in fast-rotation. As soon as
one device turns off, release the [CH ▲] button.
4. Press [MUTE]. If the device that turned off...
a. Turns back on, press [SELECT] 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 ▼] one step at a
time until that device turns back on. Each time you
press the [CH ▼] button, the power / mode buttons
will illuminate once
in reverse fast-rotation (AUDIO Æ
DVD Æ VCR Æ TV Æ CABLE).
Once you have found a code that turns the device
on / off, press [SELECT] 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.

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, Terms................................................n
Additional Programming Information
1. The power / mode buttons will illuminate in slow-rotation
(i.e. CABLE Æ TV Æ VCR Æ DVD Æ AUDIO Æ
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▲] or
[CH ▼] 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▲] until your
device turns on.
OR
b. You may have gone past the correct matching code.
Try pressing [CH▼] 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▲] or [CH ▼] as described in Section 5 as
follows:
a. [VOL▲] – to “go forward” through the codes using the
“VOL▲” function on your devices.
b. [VOL▼] – to “go back” through the codes using the
“VOL▼“ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the volume of
the device being programmed will increase or
decrease.
c. [▲] - to “go forward” through the codes using
the “Ch ▲” function on your devices.
d. [▼] - to “go back” through the codes using the
“Ch ▼“ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the channel of
the device being programmed will increase or
decrease.
e. [►] - 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 fast forward 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 [SELECT] then [MUTE] together until the
power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e.
CABLE Æ TV Æ VCR ÆDVD Æ AUDIO Æ
CABLE…).
b. In this order, carefully press [0], [0], [0], [CH▲] and
[VOL ▲]. The power / mode buttons illuminate in
slow-rotation (i.e. CABLE Æ TV Æ VCR Æ DVD Æ
AUDIO Æ CABLE…).
c. You can now program your remote using the
[CH ▲/▼], [Vol ▲/▼],[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
Page 7
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.
