SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE

If your TV,VCR,Cable Converter or Auxiliary device does not respond to the Cox Universal Remote Control after trying all of the codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all,try searching for your code.

For example, to search for a code for your TV:

1. Turn on your TV.

2. On the remote control,press TV once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice,then release SETUP.

3. Enter 9 - 9 - 1.The TV key will blink twice.

4. Aim the remote control at the the TV and slowly

alternate between pressing POWER and TV. Stop when the TV turns off.

NOTE: In the search mode,the remote control will send IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.

5. Press SETUP once to lock in the code.

6. To search for the codes of your other devices,

repeat steps 1 through 5,but substitute the appropriate key (i.e.,AUX, VCR,or CABLE) for the (Auxiliary, VCR,or Cable) device you are searching for.

CHECKING THE CODES

If you have set up the Cox Universal Remote Control using the Searching For Your Codeprocedure (on the previous page),you may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your equipment. For example,to find out which code is operating your TV:

1. Turn on your TV.

2. On the remote control, press TV once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice,then release SETUP.

3. Enter 9 - 9 - 0.The TV key will blink twice.

4. To view the code for the first digit,press 1 once.

Wait 3 seconds and count the number of times the TV key blinks (e.g.,3 blinks = 3) and write down the number in the leftmost TV Code box (see below).

NOTE: If a code digit is “0”,the selected mode key will not blink.

5. Repeat step 4 three more times for remaining

digits. Use 2 for the second digit,3 for the third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit. Finish writing down the code in the TV Code boxes below.

6. To check for other device codes,repeat steps 1

through 5,but substitute the appropriate key (i.e., AUX,VCR,or CABLE) for the (Auxiliary, VCR,or Cable) device you are checking.Write down the codes in the appropriate boxes below.

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 of 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 VCR, an auxiliary device, and the Cable converter.

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, VCR, and an auxiliary device, if no other device key is pressed first.
