1. Manually turn on the device you
want to control.
2. Press and hold the device key you want to program. While
you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand
to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same
time.
3. Wait until the remote’s indicator light
comes on and stays on. Then release
both keys.
4. Point the remote directly at the front panel of the device you
want to control. Press POWER on the remote and wait 2
seconds. The remote is testing a single code for your device.
Did your device turn off?
YES: Press the STOP key to store
the code. You’re done! You’ve
programmed this device key.
NO: Press POWER again. The
remote tests the next code for
your device.
Keep pressing POWER every 2
seconds until your device turns back
on. When it does, press STOP.
TIP: Because there are so many codes, you may have to press
the POWER key many times—possibly hundreds of times.
NOTES
Throughout the programming of each key, keep the remote
pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are programming
the remote to control.
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different
code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality”
section below for more information.
During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores
keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the Indicator light
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed
code under that device key is retained).
The Indicator light blinks four times and turns off when the
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the
Brand Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a
different search method.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If
some features of your devices don’t work, go to the next
step to try a different code.
2. Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from
the beginning. When the device turns off for the first time,
don’t press the STOP key, which would store the same
code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the
POWER key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code
that operates the device. Press the STOP key.
4. Test the key’s functionality again by trying a variety of
functions. If the code controls the majority of the device’s
functions, programming is complete. If the code stored
does not give maximum functionality, try another code.
Changing A Key’s Device Type
Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is
preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers or
cable boxes, DVD•VCR for DVD players or VCRs, and DVR•AUX
for DVR/PVRs. To program these keys to control a different kind
of device, you have to reassign them first.
Reassigning the DVD•VCR Key to Control a VCR
The DVD•VCR key defaults to control a DVD player. If you want
the DVD•VCR key to control a VCR, you must reassign it.
1. Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The Indicator light turns
on. Keep holding down the DVD•VCR key.
2. While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and release the
number 2 key on the keypad. The Indicator light turns off.
3. Release the DVD•VCR key. The Indicator light blinks four times
and then turns off. The DVD•VCR key is now set to control a VCR.
4. Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or manual
code search to program the DVD•VCR key for your VCR.
Reassigning the DVR•AUX Key To Control Other Devices
The DVR•AUX key defaults to control a DVR/PVR. If you want
the DVR•AUX key to control a different device (an additional TV,
DVD, satellite, cable box or DTV converter, for example), you
must reassign it.
1. Press and hold the DVR•AUX key. The Indicator light turns on.
2. While holding down the DVR•AUX key, press and release the
number key on the keypad for the device you wish to control
(see the chart below). The Indicator light turns off.
Code Retrieval
Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices,
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If
you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just
find the codes you entered and make a note of them in the
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to
program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method
but don’t remember the code, you will need to retrieve each
device’s five-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing
it down will save you time if you ever need to program the
remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you change
the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the
Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your
devices, which is quick and easy.
2. While holding the device key down, press and hold the
INFO key. The Indicator light turns off. After holding down
both keys for three seconds, the Indicator light turns back
on.
3. Release both keys. The Indicator light remains on.
4. Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each
number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then
0. The number that causes the Indicator light to blink is the
first number of the code. As you find each number of the
code, write it down for future reference.
Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR and DVR/
PVR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3;
and all satellite receivers and cable boxes, the number 5.
5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in
the code. After the fifth number is retrieved, the Indicator
light blinks briefly, then turns off.
TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the
CLEAR key.
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval
process, the remote will not respond. If you do not press
a valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX, INFO, CLEAR), Code Retrieval times out after 15
seconds. The Indicator light blinks four times, and then turns
off.
IMPORTANT
Because this remote controls more than one device, you
must first “tell” the remote which device you wish to
operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you
must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV
Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until you press
a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV
Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must
press the DVD•VCR key to change device modes.
Accessing Device Menus and Guides
Many devices use on-screen menus and guides to help you
navigate through all their features and programming. While
this remote may not access every menu or guide system
of every device model, it does offer some menu and guide
functionality.
To use a device’s on-screen menu or guide system, you first
have to put the remote in Menu or Guide Mode.
1. Make sure your devices are turned on and your TV is set
to the correct device input (use the INPUT key to toggle
through inputs when in TV Mode.)
2. Press the device key whose menu you want to access.
4. Use the arrow keys to navigate through
the on-screen menu system or guide.
To select the highlighted item, press the
OK key.
TIP: If the remote doesn’t respond, check
to see that the Indicator light is still
blinking. The Indicator light times out after
20 seconds. If this happens, just press the
MENU or GUIDE key again, and then retry
your selection.
Exiting Menu/Guide Mode
The remote automatically times out of Menu or Guide Mode
after 20 seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that
time, the remote clears the displayed menu from the TV.
If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the
corresponding device key on the remote (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC,
DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX). The Indicator light turns off.
Advanced Functions
3. To access menus, press the MENU key. To access guides,
press the GUIDE key. The Indicator light starts blinking,
indicating you are in Menu or Guide Mode.
DVR•AUX KEY CONTROLS:
Additional TV press 1
VCR or DVR/PVR
press 2
Additional DVD press 3
Additional satellite, cable box or
DTV converter
press 5
3. Release the DVR•AUX key. The Indicator light blinks four
times and then turns off. The DVR•AUX key is now set to
control the device type you selected.
4. Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or
manual code search to program the DVR•AUX key.
