3 Operations
DEFAULT STATUS:
Component Default: CABLE
Channel Default: CABLE channel +/- and numbers operate through the CABLE box. You have the option of controlling channel +/- and numbers through the TV, VCR or DVD. Refer to section G for programming steps.
Volume Default: CABLE volume +/- and mute operate through the TV. You have the option of controlling volume through the Cable box, VCR or DVD. Refer to section H for programming steps.
5 Programming the Remote Control
There are three ways you can program your remote control:
*Quick Set-Up Method
*The Pre-Programmed 3-Digit Code Method
*The Auto-Search Method
The Quick Set-Up Method is a unique new feature that enables the fastest and easiest set-up by using one-digit codes for up to 10 major brands for each component.
The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to setup all the buttons at once by entering 3-digit code numbers that correspond to a particular Component’s manufacturer/brand, so it’s the fastest and easiest of the two methods. (Code Tables are on the backside of this Instruction Sheet.) The AutoSearch Method scans through all the codes in the remote control, one at a time.
IMPORTANT SETUP NOTES:
This pertains to all programming steps. When you are in setup mode in each component, a component LED will light up for 30 seconds. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, the LED light will turn off and exit setup mode and you will need to start over.
When programming a combo unit, program as a VCR or DVD first.
A. Quick Set-Up Method
STEP1 Turn on the device you want to programto program your TV, turn the TV on.
STEP2 Point the remote at the TV and press and hold the TV key for 3 seconds. While Holding the TV key, the TV LED will light off and on again. Begin to press the number keys, one at a time, starting with 1, then 2, 3…0 until the TV turns off.
STEP3 Release the TV key to save the code. The TV LED will blink twice to confirm the code is stored.
Repeat these steps for your DVD, Aux, etc.
B. Pre-Programmed 3-Digit Code Method
STEP1 Turn on the Component you want to program (TV, VCR, DVD or AUX) .
STEP2 Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV, DVD or AUX) to be programmed and [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The Component LED will light for 30 seconds indicating the unit is ready to be programmed.
STEP3 Point the remote control toward the Component and enter the 3-digit code number assigned to your brand.
*Note : If the 3-digit code number you just entered is correct, the Component will turn Off. If it did not turn Off, continue entering code numbers listed for that brand until the Component turns Off.
STEP4 After you’ve entered the correct code number and the Component has turned Off, press the [POWER] button to turn the Component back On. Now it’s time to test the VOLUME and MUTE buttons for the TV (or PLAY and STOP buttons for VCR and DVD) to make sure they all work. If any of the functions do not work as they should, repeat from STEP 3 using the next 3-digit code number listed for that brand.
STEP5 Once you have found the correct 3- digit code, save it by pressing the same [COMPONENT] button one more time. The Component LED light will blink twice to confirm that the code was successfully stored.
Now, program the rest of your Components by repeating STEPS 1-5.
*Note : If the Pre-Programmed Method did not work, or if the Code Tables do not list your Component brand, use the Auto-Search Method as explained in Section C.
C. Auto-Search Method
STEP1 Turn on the Component you want to program (TV, VCR, DVD or AUX).
STEP2 Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV, DVD or AUX) to be programmed and [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The Component LED will light for 30 seconds indicating the unit is ready to be programmed.
STEP3 Point the remote toward the Component and press the [CH ] or [CH ] button one step at a time or keep it pressed. The remote will emit a series of ON/OFF commands. Release the [CH ] or [CH ] button as soon as the Component turns Off.
STEP4 Test functions. (Same as for 3-Digit Code Programming Method - Section B). If any of the functions do not work as they should, repeat from STEP 3 using [CH ] or [CH ] buttons to find the correct code.
STEP5 Save the code. (Same as for 3-Digit Code Programming Method - Section B).
Now, repeat the Auto-Search Method for those Components you could not program earlier with the Pre-Programmed Method.
D.Finding a Component Button’s Setup Code Number
If you used the Auto-Search Method to program a Component, you may not know what the correct code number is. Here is a way for you to identify the code number, so you can record it for future reference.
STEP1 Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV, DVD or AUX) you want to verify and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The Component LED will light for 30 seconds.
STEP2 Press the [INFO] button and count the number of times the Component LED light blinks. This number indicates the first digit of the code, followed by the second and third, each separated by a one second pause when the LED will turn off.
*Note : 10 blinks represents the number zero.
Example : One blink, (pause), eight blinks, (pause) and three blinks, indicates code number 183.
E.AUX Function: Programming a 4 th Component
You can take advantage of the AUX function to program a 4th Component such as a second TV, VCR, DVD or Audio Component.
STEP1 Turn on the 4th Component you want to program (TV, VCR, DVD or Audio).
STEP2 Press the [AUX] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds.The [AUX] Component LED will light for 30 seconds.
STEP3 Press the [COMPONENT] button you want to setup. Point the remote control toward the Component and enter the 3-digit code number assigned to your brand.
*Note : If the 3-digit code number you just entered is the correct number, the Component will turn Off. If it did not turn Off, continue entering code numbers listed for that brand until the Component turns Off.
STEP4 Test functions. (Same as for 3-Digit Code Programming Method - Section B). If any of the functions do not work as they should, you need to find a new code.
STEP5 Once you have found the correct 3-digit code, save it by pressing the [AUX] button one more time. The Component LED light will blink twice to confirm the code was stored. Now when you press the AUX button, all the buttons will work with that 4th Component.
F. Programming the System On/Off Button
This allows you to program the System On/Off button so it can send up to four power On/Off commands with one button press.
STEP1 Press the [CBL] button.
STEP2 Press the [SYSTEM ON/OFF] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The [CBL] Component LED will light for 30 seconds.
STEP3 Press the first [COMPONENT] button you want to store in the [SYSTEM ON/OFF] button and then the [POWER] button. Repeat this for other Components until you have stored all the desired power commands into the [SYSTEM ON/OFF] button.
STEP4 Press the [CH ] button to save the power commands you stored. The [CBL] button will blink twice to confirm the commands have been saved.
