Programming the remote control

The TV component button has been preset to work with your Gateway
plasma TV (program code 0077). You can program the remote control to work
with as may as seven other components.

To program the remote to control other components:

1 Turn on the component. 2 Press the matching component button on the remote control. 3 Press and hold SETUP until the LED flashes twice. 4 Enter the programming code for the component and manufacturer. For a

list of component programming codes, see “Component program codes”
on page 8. If the code is accepted, the LED flashes twice after the last digit
is entered.

If the LED does not flash twice, repeat Steps 2 through 4 with the next
code listed for the component and manufacturer.

Important Make sure that you try all the codes listed until you find

the one that works for the component.

5 Point the remote control at the component and press POWER. The

component should turn off.

Tips & Tricks If you cannot find your manufacturer in the component list

or the program code does not work, you can use the
remote control to search for the correct component code.
See “Searching for component codes” on page 19.
