Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as between sofa cushions.

Universal Remote Control Owner’s Manual

Manual del Propietario (parte posterior)

Tip : This remote is already programmed to operate many Samsung-branded TVs and DIRECTV-branded receivers. Just press the corresponding key—TV for a television, SAT•CBL• STREAM for a satellite receiver.

Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries (not included).

To in sta ll t he ba tte ri es :

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the (+) and (–) marks

inside the battery compartment.

3. Push the battery cover back into place.

Battery Precautions:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

To u se th is un i ve r sa l r em o te wi th yo u r h om e e nt e rt ai n me n t s ys te m , ﬁ rst you need to program it to control your devices. There are two ways you can program the universal remote to operate your devices:

• The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for select brands of devices.

• The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying code list for your brand of device.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some device

features don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.

2. Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When the device turns off for the ﬁ rst time, don’t press the OK/ENTER key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the GUIDE 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 OK/ENTER key.

4. Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

Brand Code Search

The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy.

IMPORTANT: The Brand Code Search works for TVs, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The Brand Code Search does not work for programming this remote to control digital converter boxes and streaming players. Use direct code entry for these kinds of devices.

1. Manually turn on the device you want to control.

3. Press and hold the device key you want to program

(the POWER key illuminates). 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 (the POWER key turns off).

2. Find your device’s brand in the Brand Code list

section of the accompanying code list. Circle the number for your brand and keep the list handy.

4. Wait until the POWER key comes on and stays on.

Then release both keys.

5. Look at the numbers you circled for your device’s

brand code. Press those numbers on the remote keypad.

NOTES: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are currently 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 Brand Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part of the search. Search keys are VOL+, CH+, POWER, and 0.

The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key blinks four times and the last programmed code under that device key is retained).

The POWER key blinks four times 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 direct code entry..

Direct Code Entry

Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying code list for your brand of device.

TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•STREAM for satellite receivers, digital TV converters, cable boxes, or streaming players.

1. Manually turn on the device you want to control.

3. Press and hold the device key you want to program

(the POWER key comes on).

While you’re holding down the device key, use your

other hand to enter the ﬁ rst ﬁ ve-digit code for your brand in the code list (the POWER key goes off after the ﬁ rst digit).

2. Find the Code List that came with the remote. Locate

the section for the type of device you’re trying to program, and ﬁ nd your brand in that section. Circle the codes for your brand and keep them handy.

NOTES : 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 in the list.

Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual.

If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the POWER key blinks four times and the process is exited. The last programmed code under the device key is retained.

4. When you’ve ﬁ nished entering the ﬁ ve-digit code, keep holding down the

device key and look at the POWER key.

Is the POWER key illuminated?

YES: You’re done! You’ve programmed this device key.

NO, it blinked four times and turned off: You have either entered a

code number that is not in the code lists or missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3 again.

5. Now test the device with your TV on. Try the the VOL+,CH+ and the digit “0”.

If these work correctly, then you have the correct code . If not go to step 3 and try the next code in the list.

Step 1: Install your batteries

Step 2: Program your remote

RCRPS02GR

Note: For single-digit brand codes, press the 0 key ﬁ rst (for example, 0-5 for 5).

6. Point the remote directly at the front panel of the

device you want to control. Press GUIDE on the remote and wait 2 seconds. The remote is sending a single code for your device’s brand.

Did your device turn off?

YES: Press the POWER key to turn your device

back on. Then test the following keys to make sure they work: VOL+ (for TVs), CH+, and the 0 digit. If these keys work, press OK/ENTER to save this code. You’ve ﬁ nished programming this key.

NO: Press GUIDE again. The remote sends the next

code for your brand.

Keep pressing GUIDE every 2 seconds until your

device turns off. When it does, follow the “YES” instructions above.

TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•STREAM for satellite receivers, digital TV converters, cable boxes, or streaming players.

If the original remote control that came with your device has separate ON and OFF keys (instead of a single POWER key), the Brand Code Search might not work with that device. Try the Direct Code Entry method described later in this manual.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Brand Code Search, press EXIT•BACK key.

This remote control gives you access to up to 10 of your favorite satellite or cable and TV channels instantly, using the Preset Keys. For example, if one of your favorite channels is ESPN, you can set up this remote to take you directly to that channel when you press the P key followed by the 1 key.

To use the Preset Channels feature, ﬁ rst you must program the channel you’d like to use for each Preset key. Before you start, use the following table to gather information about your favorite channels. You can set up 10 favorites for each channel source: 10 for SAT/CBL/STREAM and 10 for TV.

• Preset channels can be set up for satellite receivers, cable boxes, and digital TV converters (if you’ve programmed the SAT•CBL•STREAM key to operate that kind of device). Streaming players do not have preset channel capability.

• Set up all satellite, cable, or digital converter box preset channels ﬁ rst. Then set up your TV channels. Jumping back and forth between them might get confusing.

To program your Preset Channels:

1. Press and hold the P key. The Power key illuminates. Continue to hold for three seconds until you see a blink of the Power key LED. The light remains illuminated and now you can release the P key.

2. Press the 1 key to program your ﬁ rst preset channel. The POWER key ﬂ ashes once and stays on.

In most cases, the keys on this remote perform the same functions as the keys on your original remotes once you’ve programmed this remote to operate your components. Many keys on this remote have other functions as well.

Illuminated POWER key serves as an indicator light to provide feedback. It also turns on or off all of the devices you’ve programmed this remote to operate.

Device keys (TV, SAT•CBL• STREAM) put the remote in the right mode to control your device.

Backlight key (

) turns backlighting on/off.

GUIDE puts the remote in guide mode; which makes the CH+/- VOL+/- keys serve as arrow keys; they also access the same features as the keys on your original remotes.

OK/ENTER key selects your on-screen or programming choices.

The INPUT and — (dash) key has two functions: (1) it toggles through all the TV inputs; (2) when you’re entering digital channel numbers directly, this button lets you separate the main channel number from the sub-channel number (such as

59.1).

Channel PRESET mode provides you the capability to program your favorites channels on P1-P0

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 ﬁ nd 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 ﬁ ve-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing it down will save you time if you ever need to program the remote again. 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.

TIPS: All TV codes start with the number 1 and all satellite receiver, cable box, streaming players, tand digital TV converters, the number 5.

To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the EXIT•BACK key. 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•STREAM, EXIT•BACK), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The POWER key blinks four times, and then turns off.

IMPORTANT

Because this remote controls more than one device, you must ﬁ rst “tell” the remote which device you wish to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you must ﬁ rst 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 SAT•CBL•STREAM you must press the key to change device modes.
