Accessing Menus
This remote supports menu access, navigation and selection for many makes and models of TV and satellite receivers,
cable boxes or digital TV converters. The amount of menu functionality varies from model to model and from brand to
brand.
To use the Menu function:
1. Press the component button whose menu you wish to access (TV or SAT·CBL·DTC).
2. Press the MENU key. The menu of the chosen component is shown. While in Menu Mode the Red LED will blink
until you exit or Menu function times out. the keys on this remote function as follows:
Vol up/ down Ch +/-
Cursor moves right/left Cursor moves up/down
Note: Some functions of some brands may not be fully supported.
3. To exit the menu mode press the corresponding component key on the remote (TV or SAT·CBL·DTC).
Accessing Digital Channels
The INPUT and — (dash) key lets you enter a digital sub-channel number, like 59.1, directly. Use the number keys to
enter the main channel number (in this case, “59”). Then press the INPUT (–) key and press the subchannel number
(in this case, “1”). When you’re not entering channel numbers, the INPUT key toggles through all the video sources
connected to your TV as well.
Programming Channel Control Lock
By default, in TV mode the remote control’s channel-control capabilities are locked to the Cable Box or Satellite
Receiver or Digital TV Converter. The affected keys are 1 through 0, Ch , CH and Go Back. This will guarantee
that you do not inadvertently change a channel on your TV. However you can deactivate this feature to allow full
access to these keys in TV mode.
Unlocking Channel Control
1. On the remote Control, press SAT/CBL/DTC key and hold the key down. At the same time press and hold down
the CH until the LED turns red and stays on. Then press the Enter key to unlock and save.
Now the remote control will provide TV channel control capabilities while in the TV mode.
Locking Channel Control to SAT/CBL/DTC
1. On the remote Control, press SAT/CBL/DTC key and hold the key down. At the same time press and hold down
the Ch until the LED turns red and stays on. Then press the Enter key to lock and save.
Now the remote control will provide channel control capabilities while in the SAT/CBL/DTC mode.
Manual Code Search
The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one through all the codes for the device you’re trying to control. When
you find the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and store that code.
5. As soon as the component turns off, press the ENTER key within 4
seconds.
Note: If you wait longer than 4 seconds to press ENTER, the remote goes to the next
code—you will need to start the code search from step 1 again.
The indicator light flashes 8 times and turns off when the remote has searched all the
codes. If this happens, try one of the other programming methods.
6. Test the remote with your component to make sure you can control most
of the device’s functions. If some features don’t work, try the Direct Code
Entry method.
6. Aim the remote at the component and
press the POWER key.
If the component turns off: The remote is programmed to operate this
component.
If the component does NOT turn off: Try the next code for your brand.
Note: If no codes work, or if your brand is not listed, try the Auto Code Search or
Manual Code Search.
Retrieving Remote Codes
Once you’ve found the code that works best with your component, you might want to write it down so that you can
use it if you ever need to program a remote for this component again.That’s easy if you used the Direct Code Entry
method—just write down the code you used from the list. However, if you used the Auto Code Search or Manual Code
Search, you will need to go through the following steps to know exactly which code you’re using.
1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH key until the indicator light turns on.
2. Press the component key that matches the component’s code you are retrieving (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC). The
indicator light blinks once and then remains lit.
1. Manually turn on the component you want to program the remote to
operate.
2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH key until the indicator light turns on.
3. Press the component key you want to program—TV or SAT·CBL·DTC.
The indicator light blinks once and remains lit.
Important: Find the ENTER key on your remote (don’t press it yet). You will need to
press this key quickly in step 5 below.
4. Point the remote directly at the front panel of the device you want to
control. Press the POWER key once every 2-3 seconds until your
component turns off.
Note: Since this remote has hundreds of codes, you may have to press the POWER
key many (perhaps hundreds of) times using this method.
