the CHANS key. Then, press and release the SELECT key.

NOTE: If the light flashes 3 times before the TV or component responds, you've cycled through all codes and the code you need is not available. You must use the remote that came with your TV or component.

5.Repeat step 4 four more times for the remaining digits; i.e., press number 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for the fourth digit and 5 for the final digit.

1.Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same time until the green light flashes twice, then release both keys.

2.Using the number keys, enter 9-8-1. (The green light flashes 4 times.)

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM: Light at the top of the remote blinks when you press a key, but the component does not respond.

SOLUTION 1: Try replacing the batteries.

SOLUTION 2: Make sure you are aiming the DIRECTV® Universal Remote Control at your home entertainment component and that you are within 15 feet of the component you are trying to control.

PROBLEM: The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control does not control component or commands are not recognized properly.

SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device brand being set up. Make sure all components can be operated with an infrared remote control.

PROBLEM: TV/VCR combo does not respond properly.

SOLUTION: Some TV/VCR combo units require a VCR code. VCR codes are not supported in this product.

PROBLEM: CHANS, CHANT, and PREV do not work for your RCA TV.

SOLUTION: Due to RCA design for certain models (19831987), 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 DIRECTV Universal remote control after entering a channel number.

PROBLEM: Remote control does not turn on Sony or Sharp TV/VCR Combo.

SOLUTION: For power on, these products require setting up TV codes on the remote control. For Sony, use TV code 10000 (not all functions may work as the remote does not support VCR codes). For Sharp, use TV code 10093 (not all functions may work as the remote does not support VCR codes).
