Programming device codes
For every device that you would like to operate using the universal
remote control, you must program a three-digit device code to a
source key (TV, VCR, DVD, CD, CBL, ASAT, DSAT, AUX) . The names
on the keys are only for reminder purposes. You can assign any key
to any device (“Flex Mode”).
For combined devices (e.g. TV set with video recorder, TV set with
DVD player, DVD and video recorder) it is often necessary to assign
two source keys with the respective code for each part of the device.
However, there are also combined devices with only one code for
both device parts (see also “Operating combined devices”, page 16).
Entering the device code according to the Code
List
The codes of the corresponding devices can be found in the Code
List enclosed with these operating instructions. Proceed as follows:
1. Switch the relevant device on manually.
2. Keep the S (SETUP) key pressed down for approx. 3 seconds, the
background lighting of the source key will flash for a short time
and then remain permanently lit. 1 (Briefly pressing the SETUP
key will activate the SHIFT function.)
4. Enter the three-digit code from the Code Table.
2
.
The background lighting will extinguish briefly each time the key
is pressed.
1. Only the source key that was actuated last will light up. During
first use, the TV key will light up.
2. The names above the keys are only for reminder purposes. You
can assign any key to any device (“Flex Mode”).
10
Page 10
Univ-FB_MD80383_AUS.fm Seite 11 Dienstag, 24. Januar 2006 8:57 08
If the entered code was valid, the light of the source key will
extinguish after the last digit has been entered. If an invalid code was
entered, the source key will flash for three seconds before
extinguishing.
If the device does not respond as expected, repeat the programming,
or try a different code. Please try all the codes specified for your
brand. Select the code that causes all the available commands of
your remote control to respond correctly!
If this is not successful either, then try using the search method
described in the chapter "Automatic Search".
Manual code search
Carry out a manual search as follows:
1. Switch the relevant device on manually.
2. Keep the S (SETUP) key pressed down for approx. 3 seconds, the
background lighting of the source key will flash for a short time
and then remain permanently lit. (Briefly pressing the SETUP key
will activate the SHIFT function.)
4. Keep pressing the (up to 350 times) , PROG+ or PROG– or PLAY (VCR only) key until the device that is to be controlled
switches off, changes channels, or responds accordingly. The
code search begins at the currently stored three-digit number.
5. Briefly press OK or ENTER to save the code.
Due to the considerable quantity of different code numbers, up
to 350 different codes are pre-programmed per device type. In
individual cases it may be possible that only the most common
main functions are available. For some particular device
models, the described method may not lead to success.
The code search for VCR's must be done while a tape is inserted and
played back. Please note.

Automatic search
If your device does not respond to the remote control even though
you have tried all of the codes listed for your device type and the
relevant brand, then try using the automatic search. This will enable
you to find codes for brands that were not listed in the device Code
List.
1. Switch the relevant device on manually.
2. Keep the S (SETUP) key pressed down for approx. 3 seconds, the
background lighting of the source key will flash for a short time
and then remain permanently lit. (Briefly pressing the SETUP key
will activate the SHIFT function.)
4. Point the remote control at the device and briefly press the
PROG+ key once. If the device does not have a program func-
tion, then instead of pressing PROG+ press the PLAY key or .
The remote control will begin the code search after 6 seconds
and will transmit all codes consecutively at one-second intervals
(see also the next section). The source key will light up for each
transmission.
5. As soon as the device responds to the remote control, press OK
with the joystick. – If you missed pressing OK on time, you can
go back by steps to the code to which the device responded by
using the PROG– key.
To cancel the search, press EXIT.
1 second or 3 second intervals
If you want the remote control to transmit a new code every 3
seconds instead of every second, proceed as follows:
Within 6 seconds of pressing the PROG+ key (or PLAY or ) as
described in Point 4, press the PROG+ or PROG– key again. The
remote control will now only transmit a new code every 3 seconds.
This gives you more time, but the procedure will also take longer.

Normal operation
Operating individual devices
After you have finished programming your remote control for your
audio/video devices, the remote control will work in the common
main functions just like the original remote control of the respective
device.
Point your remote control at the desired device and press the relevant
source key. The key will light up briefly but will not remain lit.
Activate the functions by pressing the corresponding function key of
your universal remote control. The source key will light up briefly each
time the key is pressed.
Please note:
- In certain circumstances, not every function of your original
remote control may be directly available on the universal
remote control.
- Especially for newer devices, it might be possible that the
functions are stored to different keys than expected or may not
even be available at all.
In these cases you can use the learn function to transfer the
functions of your original remote control to the desired keys of
the universal remote control (“Learn function”, page 17).
Recording with the video recorder
The RECORD key for recording to video recorder must be pressed
twice. This acts as a protection from accidental recordings.

Operating combined devices
Several controlling options are available to combined devices.
Combined devices with two device codes
Some combined devices (e.g. TV set with video recorder) require two
device codes - one for each device part. The combined device is then
controlled like two separate devices.
Combined devices with one device code
Other combined devices only require one code. In this case, you must
first select the device part you would like to operate.
Example: The device is a combined DVD recorder/video recorder.
The device code was stored on the DVD source key.
` Now activate the DVD part in the combined device by holding
down the DVD source key for longer than one second.
` To activate the video recorder in the combined device, first briefly
press the S (SETUP) key, then the DVD source key.
If your combined unit only requires one code but you would like to
operate it with two source keys, then proceed as follows:
` Programme the device code to two source keys.
` Operate one of the unit parts with one of the two source keys.
` Use the learn function (see next chapter) to transfer the desired
functions of the other unit part to the other source key.

Learn function
You can manually save the functions of an original remote control to
your universal remote control. The universal remote control can
“learn” up to 150 commands.
Notes on learn function
Use new batteries for both remote controls.
One original remote control can be saved to every source key (8-
in-1 function).
Once the memory is full, the background lighting of the source key
will flash for 3 seconds.
Programming each key can take approx. 3 seconds.
If you are programming an additional function to an existing code,
please take note which keys are still unassigned beforehand.
The following keys cannot be assigned to functions:
LEARN, S (SETUP), ALL OFF, MACRO, EPG and all source keys.
Some original remote controls (for DVD, video recorder, SAT) can
themselves be programmed with the device codes of some TV
brands to carry out basic TV set functions (volume, mute, channel
search).
Do not attempt to transfer the functions of an original remote
control that has been programmed with the code of a different TV
set to your universal remote control. This could cause
programming errors.
First try to program any type of command and then test it. Then
delete all commands (“Deleting commands for all source keys”,
page 19) and begin with the actual programming.
Do not execute the learn function under a low-energy lamp.
Such lamps (e.g. fluorescent lamps) can contain infrared light
components that could influence the learn function.

Programming macros
Using a macro, you can save a chain of commands, meaning that
several functions can be executed consecutively. You can program
three macros and store them on the number keys 1, 2 and 3.
Each macro can include up to ten key commands. A macro can
include different devices. In this way you could, for example, switch
on the TV set, the desired channel, the video recorder and the
recording function.
1. Switch the device(s) on.
2. Keep the SETUPkey pressed down for approx. 3 seconds until the
background lighting of the source key will flash for a short time

is done as follows:
1. Briefly press the ALL OFF key. The selected device switches off
and the relevant source key will light up.
2. Immediately press the ALL OFF key again and keep it pressed
down for 3 seconds. Now all pre-programmed devices will be
switched off consecutively. This takes about 3 seconds. The
source key will extinguish afterwards.
Keep the remote control pointed at the devices to be operated until
the source key extinguishes.
Some devices can be switched on and off with the - key. Devices
switched off in such a way will be switched back on after carrying out
the ALL OFF function.
Easy ProGramming and TV Channel Preview
Easy ProGramming (EPG)
The button EPG (Easy ProGramming) refers to scheduled recording
features that would give you access to codes associated with TV and/
or Radio programs. The central concept of this system is a unique
number (G-Code) that is assigned to every broadcasted program.
This code is published in TV listings in newspapers and magazines .
By using these codes the correct program with the correct channel
and the correct time will be recorded. (Please note that not all devices
are compatible with this EPG button, and functionality may also vary
in different countries).
Please note: In some cases the EPG button may not be compatible
with your device for the above-described function. There may be the
possibility that this is allocated to another button on your remote
control (e.g. the MENU button).
22
Page 22
Univ-FB_MD80383_AUS.fm Seite 23 Dienstag, 24. Januar 2006 8:57 08
TV Channel Preview
In the TV mode, after pressing the EPG key once, all stored channels
will be switched through (the remote control must be pointed permanently at the device). To stop the function, press PROG+ or PROG– .
Universal functions (“Punch Through”)
The universal functions (also called “Punch Through” functions)
enable you to carry out certain functions on a different device type
than the programmed one. These are the volume, mute and playback
functions.
If the remote control is in VCR, DVD, SAT or CBL mode, the
VOLUME (VOL) and MUTE keys () control the TV set (provided
the other devices do not have their own volume control);
if the remote control is in TV mode or in another mode without
playback function, the PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, FAST FORWARD/
BACK, SKIP keys and perhaps RECORD will actuate a connected
video recorder, DVD player or DVD recorder. The last selected
device is actuated.
Programming the volume/mute universal functions to another
device type
In its delivered state, the universal remote control is programmed in
such a way that the volume and mute functions automatically control
the TV set if a source key for a device with image transmission (DVD,
video recorder) is pressed.
You can program the universal remote control so that the universal
functions “Volume” and “Mute” will actuate another device type than
the TV set.
1. Keep the SETUP key pressed down for approx. 3 seconds until
the background lighting of the source key will flash for a short
time and then remain permanently lit. (Briefly pressing the SETUP
key will activate the SHIFT function.)
2. Press the key. The source key will extinguish briefly.
23
Page 23
Univ-FB_MD80383_AUS.fm Seite 24 Dienstag, 24. Januar 2006 8:57 08
3. Press a source key for the device to which the volume and mute
functions should be transferred to. The light for this source key
will remain lit.
4. Press the key; the source key light will extinguish. If you accidentally selected a device that does not have its own volume
control, the source key will flash for 3 seconds.
Programming the volume/mute universal functions to a
particular device
You can program the universal remote control in such a way that it will
use only that particular device’s own volume and mute functions. The
universal function for this mode or device type is therefore switched off.
1. Keep the SETUP key pressed down for approx. 3 seconds until
the background lighting of the source key flashes for a short time
and then remains permanently lit. (Briefly pressing the SETUP key
will activate the SHIFT function.)
2. Press the key until the source key light extinguishes.
3. Press the source key for the device that is only to have its own
volume and mute functions.
4. Press one of the two VOL keys. The light of the source key
remains lit.
5. Press the key again, and the source key light will extinguish.
Restoring the universal volume/mute functions
If you have changed the universal volume and mute functions, as described in the previous two sections, you can reset the functions back
to the factory settings and thus restore the “Punch Through” effect.
1. Keep the SETUP key pressed down for approx. 3 seconds until
the background lighting of the source key flashes for a short time
and then remains permanently lit. (Briefly pressing the SETUP key
will activate the SHIFT function.)
2. Keep the key pressed down until the source key light extinguishes briefly.
24
Page 24
Univ-FB_MD80383_AUS.fm Seite 25 Dienstag, 24. Januar 2006 8:57 08
3. Press again. The source key light will extinguish completely.
The volume and mute functions are now restored to their factory
defaults.
Troubleshooting
The remote control does not work:
Check whether your devices have been properly connected and
are switched on.
Check whether the remote control batteries have been correctly
inserted and have matching +/- polarity.
If the batteries are too weak then replace them with new ones.
There are several device codes listed under the brand name of my
device. How do I determine the correct device code?
To determine the correct device code for your device, try each
consecutive code until most of the functions of the device function
properly.
The devices only respond to a few remote control commands:
Continue testing further codes until the devices respond to the
commands accordingly.
If manual code entry and automatic code search are unsuccessful,
it may be that the device is not compatible to your universal remote
control.
