B: Preprogrammed Set Up
The Home Theater Master universal remote control can operate up to eight separate audio and video devices (equipment). To program the remote control for your devices, please use the following steps:
Three Digit Code Method
1 Turn on the device you would like the remote control to operate, either manually or with your original remote control.

Example: To set up the remote to operate with a SONY TV, go to the TV Set-Up Code table found on pages (43 - 45) and look for SONY under the Manufacturer/Brand column. You will find that the Set-Up Code numbers for SONY TVs are 070, 085, 139 and 147.
3 Press the corresponding Device Button (TV, VCR, SAT, CBL, AUD, CD, DVD, or AUX) and the MUTE button on the remote control simultaneously. SET will appear in the LCD.

Using Your Remote
Note: SET appears in the LCD for 20 seconds to indicate that the remote control is ready to be programmed. The following steps must be entered while SET appears in the LCD.
4 Point the remote control toward the device that was turned on in Step 1 and press in the first three-digit SetUp Code number for that device using the number buttons (0-9) on the remote control. SET followed by the number will appear in the LCD.
Your device will turn off when the correct Set-Up Code number has been selected. If the device does not turn off, press in the next Set-Up Code number from the listing. Continue to select Set-Up Code numbers until your device turns off, before you proceed to Step 5.
Note: If you have tried all of the three digit Set-Up Code numbers listed for your device and it still did not turn off, please proceed to the Auto Search Method on page (10) to program your remote control.
5 Once your device turns off, press the Device Button selected in Step 3 once again to store the Set-Up Code number. PASS will flash in the LCD.
6 Test the remote control for your device. Try the POWER, CHANNEL UP AND DOWN, VOLUME UP AND DOWN buttons, etc. If any of the buttons do not perform as they should, please repeat the set-up from Step 1 using the next Set-Up Code number for your device.
Note: Some audio/video devices have separate buttons for POWER ON and POWER OFF. To operate these devices on the remote, press the corresponding DEVICE Button to turn the equipment ON and press the POWER button to turn the equipment OFF.
7 Please repeat the above steps to program the remote control for each of your other devices.

8 Once you have completed the learning for all the desired buttons in a Device mode, store the learned functions by pressing the Device and SEL/PLAY buttons simultaneously, once again. The LCD in the SL-9000 will show SAVED and then return to the Device Mode. The remote has now returned to the original operating mode.
Once you have stored the learned functions, test the buttons that have been taught. If any of the buttons do not operate as they should, please repeat from Step 1 for those buttons.
Note: If the LCD shows FAIL at any time during the learning process, the SL-9000 was unable to learn the new functions. Please repeat from Step 4. If the SL-9000 continues to show FAIL during the learning process, please try the following suggestions:
*Increase or decrease the head to head distance between the two remote controls, within a 1 to 5 inch range.
*Increase or decrease the time you press and hold the button on the original remote control in step 5, for 1 to 2 seconds.
*Avoid fluorescent lights or strong sunlight during the set up. These lighting conditions can cause interference with the learning process.
*Verify that the original remote control contains fresh batteries.
Some remote controls operate at non-standard IR, UHF or ultrasonic frequencies, and are unable to be learned. If you continue to experience difficulty during set up, please contact our customer service department for assistance.
