This method allows you to program
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 can also
program your remote control using other buttons /
functions as described in Section 18. When using this
method, there are several important points to

• 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 (TV / VCR button),
VIDEO - Play, Stop, Rew..., AUDIO - Volume /
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 18) 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 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
Æ CBL..).
Programming your electronic devices using the

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 VIDEO Æ TV Æ CBL).
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 3times and go out.

Troubleshooting, Tips
Additional Programming Information
1. The power / mode buttons will illuminate in
slow-rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO
Æ CBL...) while the remote is in a programming
mode. In the absence of a keypress entry, the
power / mode buttons will stop illuminating after 30
seconds and the remote will exit the programming
mode.
2. When programming the remote control using the
[CH +] or [CH -] buttons (Power function) under
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
turn 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. [S] - to “go forward” through the codes using
the “CH +” function on your devices.
d. [T] - 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. [XX] - to “go forward” through the codes using
the “Fast Forward” function on your devices.
f. [WW] - 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
the power / mode buttons illuminate in slowrotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO
Æ CBL...).
b. In this order, carefully press [0], [0], [0], [CH+]
and [VOL+]. The power / mode buttons
illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ
VIDEO Æ AUDIO Æ CBL...).
c. You can now program your remote using the
[CH+], [CH -], [VOL+], [VOL -], [S], [T], [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 a Point and Press
Programming label on the back of its case. This
will help you quickly program the remote without
using codes.
Troubleshooting / Tips
1. If the same button is pressed and held for 30
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.
