2. Find the appropriate brand and code number(s) on the code list shown
below.

3. Press and hold the component button on the remote.

4. Enter the two-digit code from the code list.

5. Release component button then press POWER to see if the component

responds to the remote commands. If it doesn't, try pressing the
component button and POWER to see if the component responds.

Once the remote has been programmed with the correct codes, you are ready
to use it to control your devices. To operate the device:

1. Press the device button (TV, VCR1, VCR2.LD, SAT.CABLE, or AUDIO) to set

the remote to control the device.

2. Press OFF/ON to turn the device off or on.
