EMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Programming The Remote

The Universal Remote Control ca n be programmed to operate many manufacturers’ co mponents, using the component
function buttons for VCR, DVD, CABLE or DBS. Follow the procedures for programming your Remote Control with or
without a code for the component.

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

POWER

Helpful Hints: Unsuccessful Code

If the component does not operate with the Remote Control, repeat
the procedure using another code. (Some brands have multiple

If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than
30 seconds, the programming will fail.

• Turn the component off.

• Press and together, for at least 5 seconds.

ACTION

• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control.

• Press VOL u to move forward to the next code. Press t VOL to move backward.

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