troubleshooting guide
Problem
I programmed the remote,but it won’t work my TV,VCR, or Cable Box.
Solution
You may have entered the wrong code (or the correct code might not be listed).Try entering
all of the device manufacturer’s codes again,starting with the manufacturer’s popular code if
one is available.
If you are still unable to operate your device, follow the instructions in the section
titled CodeScan™.
Weak batteries may cause the remote to only operate one device. If this happens, simply
replace them with NEW alkaline batteries and reprogram the remote.If you are sure the
batteries are good,try rolling them with your finger to ensure a good connection.
Problem
My remote control doesn’t operate my combination TV/VCR.
Solution
Most combination TV/VCRs have VCR tuners in them. You will need to select a code
from the VCR section that will power up your TV/VCR. If this is the case, you probably
won’t need to use a TV code. Also, to control volume with your remote control, you
must program the remote for the cable box last.
If none of the codes listed for your Cable Box,TV, or VCR works,the CodeScan™method will allow you to
cycle through all the available codes in the remote until you find the right Cable Box,TV,or VCR code.
Manually turn ON power to the device you want to program the remote for
(Cable Box,TV,or VCR).
Point the remote control at the device,and press the following keys:
[the device button](the red buttons at the top of the remote),[SETUP],
[the right arrow key],then the [POWER] button.
If the device is still ON,continue at step 3 below.If it turns OFF,press [SETUP]
again to store the code you just selected, and you’re all done. The red indicator
light at the upper right-hand corner of your remote will flash 3 times if these
steps were followed correctly.
Press [the right arrow key],then the [POWER] button until the device turns
OFF.When the device turns OFF,press [SETUP] to save the code.
Please be patient — there are about 90 possible codes.
