PROGRAMMING DEVICE CONTROL
The Cox Universal Remote Control is preprogrammed to
operate your cable converter, an RCA TV, a SONY DVD,
and a Pioneer audio receiver. To control devices other
than the default brands, perform the following steps;
otherwise skip this section:
NOTES: To control a VCR player, or a PVR, program the
DVD key. To control a stereo amplifier or receiver, program
the AUX key. For TV/VCR Combo control, skip this section
and perform the instructions on the next page.
If you have another brand of cable converter and interactive service you would like to control, you’ll first need
to unlock the cable ID Lock before changing the converter code—see Programming ID Lock on page 13.
1. Turn on a device and, if applicable, insert
video media (e.g., cassette or disc).
NOTE: Please read steps 2–4 completely
before proceeding. Highlight or write down
the codes and device you wish to program
before moving on to step 2.
2. On the remote control, press a device key
once (e.g., AUX, DVD, TV, or CABLE). Press
and hold SETUP until the selected mode key
blinks twice, then release SETUP.
3. Use the Manufacturer’s Codes (starting on
page-38) to locate the the type of device and
brand name, then enter the first four-digit
code for your device. If performed correctly,
the selected mode key will blink twice.
NOTE: If the selected mode key emits a
long blink, the code is invalid. Repeat steps
2 through 3 and try entering the same code
again.
4.
Aim the remote control at the device and press
M7820BP1.indd 9 3/13/2007 3:53:59 PM

POWER once. The device should turn off. If it
does not, repeat steps 2–3, trying each code for
your brand until you find one that works. If it
still does not work, try searching for the code
(see Searching For Your Code on page 12).
NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER
key, press the (Play) key.
5. Repeat steps 1–4 for each device you want the
the remote control to control. For future reference, write down each working device code in
the following boxes:

To Re-Activate Channel Control Lock:
1.
On the remote control, press CABLE once.
Then press and hold SETUP until the
CABLE key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2.
Enter 9 - 7 - 3. The CABLE key will blink

mode.
USING THE MASTER POWER KEY
The Cox Universal Remote Control is equipped with a
unique feature that allows you to sequentially turn on
or off all your home entertainment devices with a single
key press as follows:
1. Point the remote control at the devices.
2.
Press and hold MASTER POWER for 3 seconds
to sequentially turn on or off all home
entertainment devices.
Depending on what mode is currently
selected, the remote control will send IR commands to the devices in the following order
For example, if TV is selected, pressing and
holding MASTER POWER for 3 seconds will
turn off the DVD, an auxiliary device, and the
cable converter.
Start Mode Device On/Off End Mode
AUX Cable, TV, DVD CABLE
DVD Auxiliary, Cable, TV CABLE
TV DVD, Auxiliary, Cable CABLE
CABLE TV, DVD, Auxiliary CABLE
M7820BP1.indd 15 3/13/2007 3:54:00 PM
16
NOTE: The remote control always defaults to
the CABLE mode after all devices are turned
off. Therefore, the initial power-on sequence
will always be TV, DVD, and an auxiliary
device, if no other device key is pressed first.
RE-ASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS
The Cox Universal Remote Control can be set up to
control a VCR or second TV, or any combination of up to
four home entertainment devices. For example, to have
the unit-control a TV, a Cable Converter, a DVD player
and a VCR, you will need to re-assign the unused AUX
key to operate the VCR as follows:

Then press and hold SETUP until the AUX
key
blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2.
Enter 9 - 9 - 2. The AUX key will blink twice.
3.
Press AUX once. The AUX key will blink
twice.
4. The AUX key is now ready to be programmed
for your VCR. See Programming Device
Control on page 9.
To re-assign other device keys, repeat steps 1–4 and
substitute the key sequence using the following chart:

3.
Press TV once. It will blink twice.
4. Now, whenever you press VOL+, VOL–, or
MUTE, volume will be controlled by your TV.
To change Volume Lock to AUX mode:
NOTE: Performing these steps will allow you to access
the volume control of your auxiliary device in all modes.
1.
On the remote control, press AUX once.
Then press and hold SETUP until the
AUX key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2.
Enter 9 - 9 - 3. The AUX key will blink twice.

4. Now, whenever you press VOL+, VOL–, or
MUTE, the volume will be controlled by your
auxiliary device.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM:
Mode key does not blink when you press a key.
SOLUTION: Replace the batteries with two (2) new AA
alkaline batteries (see page 8).
PROBLEM: Mode key blinks when you press a key, but
home entertainment device does not respond.
SOLUTION: Make sure you are aiming the remote control
at your home entertainment device and that
you are within 15-feet of the device you are
trying to control.
PROBLEM: The remote control does not control home
entertainment devices or commands are not
performing properly.
SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device brand being
set up. Make sure all devices can be operated
with an infrared remote control.
PROBLEM: TV/VCR combo does not respond properly.
SOLUTION: Use the VCR codes for your brand. Some
combo units may require both a TV code and
a VCR code for full operation (see page 10).
PROBLEM: No volume on a second TV.
SOLUTION: Follow instructions in Changing Volume
Lock
(see previous page).
PROBLEM: CH+ , CH– , and LAST do not work for your
RCA TV.
SOLUTION: Due to RCA design (1983–1987), only the
original remote control will operate these
functions.
PROBLEM: Changing channels does not work properly.
SOLUTION: If original remote control required pressing
ENTER to change channels, press ENTER on
the remote control after entering a channel
number.
PROBLEM: Tried “Search For Your Code” and still could
not find a working code.
SOLUTION: Try the “Search For Your Code” again after
clearing out the device key as follows: Press
and hold SETUP until mode key blinks twice,
then release. Next enter 9 - 9 - 2. Then press
and release the mode key to be cleared twice.
