Introduction
The One For All 8-Device Universal Remote Control with Learning (URC-8820N) is pre-programmed with the latest library of codes, and it is designed to operate up to eight home entertainment devices, including TV, video, DVD, Cable, Satellite and audio components. The remote control requires two (2) new AAA alkaline batteries (not included) and easy programming to control your devices. For best results, please read and perform all instructions listed here. Also, keep these instructions for future reference.
Installing Batteries
1. On the remote control’s back, push down on the top of the battery cover (where indicated by the arrows). Then slide the battery cover out.
2. Obtain two (2) new AAA alkaline batteries. Match the + and – marks on the batteries to the + and – marks in the battery case, then insert the new batteries.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place. The tab should click when the cover is locked.
4. Test the remote control by first pressing POWER and then any mode key (e.g., TV). If the batteries are inserted correctly, the LED (red light) will blink once.
NOTE: When batteries are low, the remote control will blink 5 times after each key press. The remote will stop operating when the batteries need replacement. The permanent memory retention ensures that your codes are stored permanently even during battery replacement.
Battery Precautions:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable
(nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and
recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

Using Learning
This remote includes a Learning feature so you can add functions that are unique to your home entertainment devices (e.g., DVD EJECT). However, there are some considerations.
Learning Precautions
• Your original remote controls must be in working order for
learning to work properly.
• Learned keys are mode specic, so each one can store a unique
function for each mode.
• Learned keys can be used in macros (see “Using Macros”).
• Do not use the following keys for learning: Device Keys, SET, FAV, or Record (•) Key.
• Learning capacity is approximately 50 to 70 keys, depending on
the code being learned.
• If both learned and keymoved functions are assigned to the
same key, the last programmed function is stored.
• A learned function cannot be used as a source for Keymover
(see “Using Keymover”).
7
• Certain device codes are not learnable including multi-
frequency types, some high frequency ones, and other unusual formats.
• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as
natural sunlight or energy-efficient fluorescent lights.
NOTE: Please have your original remote controls handy before programming learning. Be sure to press each teaching key within 5 seconds of the previous entry. Otherwise, this remote exits the learning mode.

2. Enter 9 9 3 and then press any mode key once (e.g., TV). The LED will blink twice.
3. Now, when you press VOL +, VOL -, or MUTE, the volume of the selected device (e.g., TV) will be controlled regardless of the mode you have selected.
Unlocking Volume Control For A Single Device (Individual Volume Unlock)
1. After performing Global Volume Lock (see above), press a desired mode key where you want volume to be unlocked (e.g., AUD) and controlled within its own mode.
2. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
3. Enter 9 9 3 and then press VOL - once. The LED will blink four times.
4. If desired, repeat steps 1 through 3 (of this section) for each device that you want volume to be unlocked.
5. Now, after you select a device that has volume unlocked (e.g., AUD), pressing VOL +, VOL -, or MUTE, will control the device’s volume only in its own mode.
Unlocking All Volume Control (Restoring Default Setting)
NOTE: Performing these instructions will restore independent volume control for all programmed devices (e.g., TV volume control in TV mode, VCR volume in VCR mode, etc.).
1. On the remote control, press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
2. Enter 9 9 3 and then press VOL + once. The LED will blink four times.
3. Volume will again be independently controlled according to its default states for all programmed devices.
Using Macros
You can program the M1 and M2 keys on your remote to perform repetitive, time-consuming operations for easy, convenient access through the press of a single key.
Macro keys are ideal for home theater operations, setting a favorite channel, guide steps, or other multiple functions you would like to control with one key press. Moreover, each macro key can hold up to a total of 20 key presses.
NOTE: Programming a new macro over an existing one will erase the original macro.
Programming A Favorite Channel
With so many channels available through your cable or satellite system provider, you can program a macro that directly selects a favorite channel with one key press.
For example, let’s assume your favorite cable programs are on channel 52. Use the following instructions to program a macro key for direct access of this channel:
NOTE: This example assumes the TV is tuned to the correct Input to view your cable box.
1. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.

2. Devices will turn on (or off) according to your programmed sequence.
NOTE: The currently-selected device will always turn on or off
first, followed by the remaining programmed sequence. After the master power sequence has been completed, the remote control will be set to control the first powered-on device.
NOTE: If one or more devices does not have a POWER key,
the power off/on sequence may be slightly delayed when the remote control signals the device(s).This action is normal.
Programming A Macro On A Device Key
In its default state, when you press a device key (e.g., TV) on this remote, the remote will switch to that selected device. However, you can also program a Macro onto the Device keys to allow for additional functionality. For example, if your devices are connected to a receiver unit, you can program a Device macro to switch the receiver’s input to the selected device.
