Device Operates Default

TV TV (Panasonic Only) Panasonic TV Codes
VCR VCR (Preset) Panasonic VCR Codes
DBS DBS (Preset) Panasonic DBS Codes
CABLE CABLE (Preset) Panasonic DBS Codes
DVD DVD, CD (Preset) Panasonic DVD Codes

Determine the manufacturer of the component and look in the table for the code.

Programming With a Code

Procedure

• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and operating.

• Turn the component off.

• Press and together, for at least 5 seconds.

ACTION

• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control VCR, DVD, CABLE or DBS.

Helpful Hints: Unsuccessful Code

If the component does not operate with the Remote Control, repeat
the procedure using another code. (Some brands have multiple
codes).
If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than
30 seconds, the programming will fail.

Programming Without a Code

This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method.”

• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.

• Turn the component off.

• Press and together , for at least 5 seconds.

ACTION

• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control.

• Press to move forward to the next code. Press to move backward.

VOL

• Press the Remote Control to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on.
