Programming the remote control for component control

Programming the component code

1 Turn on the TV. Turn on the cable or satellite set-top-box, VCR, or DVD and, if applicable, insert

media (a cassette or a disc).

NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. We recommend highlighting

or writing down the codes and device you wish to program before performing step 2.

2 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT button or DVD/VCR button once. Press and hold SETUP until

the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP.

3 Use the Manufacturer’s Codes (see listing that follows) to locate the type of component by brand

name and then enter the first four-digit code for your component. If performed correctly, the red light blinks twice.

NOTE: If the red light did not blink twice, then repeat steps 2 and 3, entering the code again.

4 Aim the remote control at the component and press PWR once. The component should turn off. If it

does not respond, repeat steps 2 and 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code in the component code table.

5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each component you want to control with the remote control.

Searching for the component code

If your device does not respond to the remote control after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code:

1 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT button or DVD/VCR button once. 2 Press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 3 Press the number buttons 9, 9, and 1. The red light blinks twice. 4 Aim the remote control at the set-top-box or the VCR or DVD and slowly alternate between pressing

PWR and the component (CBL/SAT or DVD/VCR) button. Stop when the component turns off.

NOTE: In the search mode, the remote control sends codes from its library to the selected device,

starting with the most popular code first.

5 Press SETUP once to lock in the code.

22 Using the TV

Checking the component code

If you have set up the remote control to use a component, you may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your component equipment:

1 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT or DVD/VCR once. 2 Press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 3 Press the number buttons 9, 9, and 1. The red light blinks twice. 4 For the first digit of the code, press the number button 1 once. Wait 3 seconds, and then count the

number of times the red light blinks and write down the number.

NOTE: When you count three blinks, it means the code digit is 3. When a code digit is 0, the red

light will not blink.

5 Repeat step 4 for the three remaining digits of the code, pressing 2 for the second digit, 3 for the

third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit.

Reassigning component buttons

The remote control can be set up to control a second TV or VCR, or any combination of eight home entertainment components.

For example, to control a TV, a Cable Converter, and two VCRs, you need to re-assign a component button to operate the second VCR as follows:

1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 2 Press the number buttons 9, 9,1. The red light blinks twice. 3 Press DVD/VCR once, then press CBL/SAT once. 4 The CBL/SAT button is now ready to be programmed for your second VCR.

To re-assign other device keys, repeat steps 1 through 4 by substituting the key sequence from the following table for the most popular components:

To assign Use this sequence

TV as 2nd DVD/VCR button SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 – DVD/VCR - TV

TV as 2nd CBL/SAT button SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 – CBL/SAT - TV

TV back to TV SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 – TV - TV

VCR as 2nd CBL/SAT button SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 – CBL/SAT - VCR

VCR back to VCR SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 – VCR - VCR

CBL/SAT as 2nd VCR button SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 – VCR - CBL/SAT

CBL/SAT back to CBL/SAT SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 – CBL/SAT - CBL/SAT

When a re-assignment is done, the red light blinks twice to confirm your choice. Then, you need to program the remote control to control the new component.

Using the TV 23

Changing volume lock

The remote control is set to control volume of a component through your TV while in the TV, DVD/VCR, or CBL/SAT mode. However, in the HP.PC mode you have separate control of the volume.

If you want the volume to be controlled by a different component than the TV, you can change the Volume Lock setting to control volume through a non-associated mode (for example, through the cable in the TV mode).

To change volume lock to another mode:

1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 2 Press the number buttons 9, 9, 3, and then press any mode key once (except TV). The red light will

blink twice.

3 Now, whenever you press VOL+, VOL–, or MUTE, volume is controlled by your component mode

choice.

To change volume lock back to the TV mode:

1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 2 Press the number buttons 9, 9, 3, and then press TV. The red light blinks twice. 3 Now, whenever you press VOL+, VOL–, or MUTE on the remote control, volume is controlled by

your TV.
