1. Introduction

Your Synergy® V Universal / DVR remote control is simple to program, easy to use, and can operate up to five (5) electronic devices, which include:

CABLE Cable set -top terminals TV Televisions VCR VCR DVD DVD AUDIO Audio receivers, amplifiers, CD players

Before you can use your remote control, it must be programmed (set -up) to operate the above devices.

2. Before Getting Started

Some of the special features and buttons on your remote control are as follows:

Point and Press® Programming Lets you program your TV, VCR, DVD, AUDIO devices without using codes. For more information, see

sections 5 and 14.

[ALL] SmartKey®

Turns your CABLE set -top terminal and TV on / off with one button press. [ALL] can also be programmed to turn on / off additional electronic devices, or automatically set your correc t TV output channel. For more information, see section 9.

[MODE]

Indicates which mode (i.e. CBL, TV, VCR, DVD, AUDIO) the remote is currently operating in by illuminating the power button. To change to a different mode, press [MODE], then the power button for the electronic device you wish to operate. For more information, see Section 15.

3. Installing / Replacing Batteries

Install two (2) new AA Alkaline batteries. Properly match the “+ / -” ends of the batteries with the diagram in the battery compartment.

When the batteries become low and need to be replaced, the [CBL], [TV], [VCR], [DVD], [AUDIO] buttons will not illuminate normally or at all during use, and the remote will no longer operate your devices. When this occurs, replace the existing batteries with two (2) new AA Alkaline batteries to restore normal operation to the remote. For more information, see Section 14.

Point and Press® Programming

This method allows you to program the remote control without using codes. Instead, the remote control automatically finds the correct command that you select in a variety of codes until you find the code that operates your device. You then lock in the correct code as described below.

The following instructions describe how to program your rem ote control using the [CH +] or [CH -] buttons ("Power" function during programming). You may also program your remote control using other buttons / functions as described in Section 14. When using this method, there are several important points to remember:

• The order in which you program your electronic devices is not important.

• There may be several codes that turn your electronic devices on / off (or perform other functions). Once you

lock-in a code, be sure to check the available functions for that device (i.e. TV - Vol +/-, Mute, TV Input (Input button); VCR - Play, Stop..; DVD - Play, Stop...; AUDIO - Vol +/-, Mute) to see if they are operating.

• While the remote is searching for the correct setup code(s) for your electronic devices, it is possible that other (previously programmed) devices may turn on / off (or perform other functions). If this occurs, continue pressing the [CH +] or [CH -] buttons (or the buttons described in Section 14) until you find the correct code for the device you are programming.

• It may take several minutes for the remote to find the correct code that turns your device off (or performs another selected function). During this time, the power / mode buttons will illuminate in fast-rotation (i.e. CBL à TV à VCR à DVD à AUDIO à CBL…).

Programming your electronic devices using the [Ch +] or [Ch -] buttons (“Power” function during programming)...

1. Turn on all the electronic devices (TV, VCR, DVD, AUDIO) you want to program the remote to operate.

2. Press [OK], then [MUTE] together until the power / mode buttons illuminate in slow -rotation (i.e. CBL à

TV à VCR à DVD à AUDIO à CBL…).

3. Press and hold the [CH +] button until one device turns off. While you are pressing the [CH +] button, the

power / mode buttons will illuminate in fast-rotation. As soon as one device turns off, release the [CH +] button.

4. Press [MUTE]. If the device that turned off...

a. Turns back on, press [OK] to lock in this code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3-times and go

out.

b. Does not turn back on, press [CH -] one step at a time until that device turns back on. Each time you

press the [CH -] button, the power / mode buttons will illuminate once in reverse fast-rotation (AUDIO à DVD à VCR à TV à CBL).

Once you have found a code that turns the device on / off, press [OK] to lock in this code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3-times and go out.

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 above for each of the remaining electronic devices you wish to program the remote to

operate.

6. Programming Your TV / VCR Combination

1. First, turn on your TV / VCR combination device and install a VHS tape.

Using the Code Entry Programming met hod described in Section 5, find a TV Setup Code that operates the TV functions (Power, Vol +/-, Mute) of your combination device.

3. Last, program your remote to operate the VCR functions of your combination device.

Using the Code Entry Programming met hod described in Section 5, enter, lock and test each 3-digit VCR Setup Code for your brand until a code is found that operates the transport functions (Play, Stop, Rew, Pause, Rec) functions of your TV / VCR combination device.

Before you can test for the correct VCR setup code, you must first press the [MODE] button, then the [VCR] button to put the remote in its VCR mode.

7. Programming Your TV / DVD or TV / VCR / DVD Combination

1. First, turn on your TV / DVD combination device and install a DVD.

2. Next, program your remote to operate the TV functions. Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, find a TV Setup Code that operates the

TV functions (Power, Vol p/q, Mute, Ch p/q, 0-9) of your TV / DVD combination device.

3. Last, program your remote to operate the DVD functions. Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, enter, lock and test each 3-digit DVD

Setup Code for your brand until a code is found that operates the transport functions (PLAY, S TOP, REW, FWD, PAUSE, REC) of your TV / DVD combination device.

Before you can test for the correct DVD setup code, you must first press the [MODE] button, then [DVD] button to put the remote in its DVD mode.

4. If you have a TV / VCR / DVD combination device, you would then program your remote to operate the VCR

functions.

Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, enter, lock and test each 3-digit VCR

Setup Code for your brand until a code is found that operates the VCR transport functions (PLAY, STOP, REW, FWD, PAUSE, REC) of your TV / DVD / VCR combination device.

Before you can test for the correct VCR setup code, you must first press the [MODE] button, then [VCR]

button first to put the remote in its VCR mode.
