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 can also
program your remote control using other buttons /

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 18) until you find the correct code for
the device you are programming.

the correct code that turns your device on / off (or
performs another selected function). During this
time, the power / mode buttons will illuminate in
fast-rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO
