PROGRAMMING DEVICE CONTROL

The Cox Universal Remote Control is preprogrammed to operate your cable converter, an RCA TV, an RCA VCR, and a Pioneer audio receiver. To control devices other than the default brands, perform the following steps; otherwise skip this section:

NOTES: To control a DVD player, program the VCR or AUX key. To control a PVR, program the VCR key. To control a stereo amplifier or receiver, program the AUX key. For TV/VCR Combo control, skip this section and perform the instructions on the next page.

If you have another brand of cable converter and interactive service you would like to control, you’ll first need to unlock the cable ID Lock before changing the converter code—see

Programming ID Lock on page 13.

1. Turn on a device and, if applicable, insert

video media, (e.g., cassette or disc).

NOTE: Please read steps 2–4 completely before proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program before moving on to step 2.

2. On the remote control, press a device key once

(e.g., AUX, VCR, TV, or CABLE). Press and hold SETUP until the selected mode key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

3. Use the Manufacturer’s Codes (starting on

page 38) to locate the the type of device and brand name and then enter the first four-digit code for your device. If performed correctly, the selected mode key will blink twice.

NOTE: If the selected mode key emits a long blink, the code is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering the same code again.

4. Aim the remote control at the device and press

POWER once. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 2–3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code (see Searching For Your Code on page 11).

NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key, press the (Play) key.

5. Repeat steps 1–4 for each device you want the

the remote control to control. For future reference, write down each working device code in the following boxes:

PROGRAMMING TV/VCR COMBO CONTROL

If you own a TV/VCR Combo, perform the following instructions to control this device:

1. Turn on your TV/VCR Combo and insert a

video cassette.

2. On the remote control, press VCR once.

Press and hold SETUP until the VCR key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

3. Use the setup codes for TV/VCR combos on

page 47 to locate the brand name and then enter the first four-digit code for your TV/VCR Combo. If you perform this procedure correctly, the VCR key will blink twice.

NOTE: If the VCR key did not blink twice after entering the code’s last digit, then repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering the same code again.

4. Aim the remote control at your TV/VCR

Combo and press POWER once. The device should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat steps 2-3, trying each code listed for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code (see Searching For Your Code on page 11).

5. If you’ve located a TV/VCR setup code that

works your TV/VCR Combo and a separate TV code is also listed, you’ll need to program this code into the remote control to access volume control (see Programming Device Control on page 8).

If there is no separate TV code listed, you will need to perform the following steps to access volume control:

a. Press and hold SETUP until the VCR key

blinks twice, then release SETUP.

b. Enter 9 - 9 - 3. The VCR key will blink

twice.

c. Press VCR once. The VCR key will blink

twice.

6. For future reference, write down each work-

ing device code in the boxes below:

SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE

If your TV, VCR, Cable Converter or Auxiliary device does not respond to the Cox Universal Remote Control after trying all of the codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code.

For example, to search for a code for your TV:

1. Turn on your TV.

2. On the remote control, press TV once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

3. Enter 9 - 9 - 1. The TV key will blink twice.

4. Aim the remote control at the the TV and

slowly alternate between pressing POWER and TV.

Stop when the TV turns off.

NOTE: In the search mode, the remote control will send IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.

5. Press SETUP once to lock in the code.

6. To search for the codes of your other devices,

repeat steps 1–5, but substitute the appropriate key (that is, AUX, VCR, or CABLE) for the (Auxiliary, VCR, or Cable) device you are searching for.

CHECKING THE CODES

If you have set up the Cox Universal Remote Control using the Searching For Your Code procedure on the previous page, you may need to find out which fourdigit code is operating your equipment. For example, to find out which code is operating your TV:

1. Turn on your TV.

2. On the remote control, press TV once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

3. Enter 9 - 9 - 0. The TV key will blink twice.

4. To view the code for the first digit, press

1 once. Wait 3 seconds and count the number of times the TV key blinks (for example, 3 blinks = 3) and write down the number in the leftmost TV Code box (see below).

NOTE: If a code digit is “0”, the selected mode key will not blink.

5. Repeat step 4 three more times for remaining

digits. Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the

third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit. Write

down the remaining digits in the boxes below.

6. To check for other device codes, repeat steps

1–5, but substitute the appropriate key (that is, AUX, VCR, or CABLE) for the (Auxiliary, VCR, or Cable) device you are checking. Write down the codes in the appropriate boxes below.

PROGRAMMING ID LOCK

The Cox Universal Remote Control is preprogrammed and locked at the factory to operate the cable converter and interactive service given to you by your cable company.

However, if you have another brand or model of cable converter and interactive service that you would like to control, then you’ll need to perform the following steps

PROGRAMMING CHANNEL CONTROL LOCK

By default, the remote control’s channel-control capabilities are locked to the cable converter. The affected keys are 0~ 9, CH+, CH–, ENTER, and LAST. This will guarantee that you do not inadvertently change a channel on your TV or VCR. However, you can de-activate this feature to allow full access to these keys in the TV and VCR modes.

To De-Activate Channel Control Lock:

1. On the remote control, press CABLE once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the CABLE key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

2. Enter 9 - 7 - 3. The CABLE key will blink twice.

3. Press CH– once. The CABLE key will blink

four times.

4. Now, the remote control will provide TV and

VCR channel-control capabilities while in the TV or VCR mode.

NOTE: This feature does not affect the AUX mode.

To Re-Activate Channel Control Lock:

1. On the remote control, press CABLE once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the CABLE key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

2. Enter 9 - 7 - 3. The CABLE key will blink twice.

3. Press CH+ once. The CABLE key will blink twice.

4. Now, regardless of what mode you select

(that is, TV, VCR, or CABLE), only the channel control capability of your cable converter will be accessible.

NOTE: This feature does not affect the AUX mode.

USING THE MASTER POWER KEY

The Cox Universal Remote Control is equipped with a unique feature that allows you to sequentially turn on or off all of your home entertainment devices with a single key press as follows:

1. Point the remote control at the devices.

2. Press and hold MASTER POWER for 3 seconds

to sequentially turn on or off all home entertainment devices.

Depending on what mode is currently selected, the remote control will send IR commands to the devices in the following order:

For example, if TV is selected, pressing and holding MASTER POWER for 3 seconds will turn off the VCR, an auxiliary device, and the cable converter.

NOTE: The remote control always defaults to the CABLE mode after all devices are turned off. Therefore, the initial power-on sequence will always be TV, VCR, and an auxiliary device, if no other device key is pressed first.
