Congratulations on your purchase of this IR10A
Universal Remote Control. Universal Remotes let
you replace a broken or lost remote or combine more
than one remote into one. But this remote is really
unique, having a high quality color screen, like the
kind you see on cell phones. This screen depicts
colored icons that you easily set up to represent your
favorite channels. You can then easily select any
channel you want by simply pressing the key next to
the icon that represents that channel.
This remote control operates the common features of
most but not all models and brands of Infrared (IR)
Controlled devices. This remote may provide
functions that are not available on your device.
Some functions of your particular device (e.g. menu
functions) may not be controlled by this remote. In
such cases, you can learn the commands from your
original remote. Please use this manual to become
familiar with your Universal Remote. After you are
familiar with this owner’s manual, the first thing you
need to do is to install batteries and setup your
remote following the on-screen instructions.
Thank you for buying this remote and we hope it
will give you many years of service.
All trademarks or registered trademarks used in this product are trademarks or

Battery Saver
Your remote automatically turns off if the keys are depressed
for more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should
your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain
depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions). Also, the screen
turns off a short time after no keys have been pressed for a
while (or a short time after a key has been stuck for 30
seconds). The duration before the screen turns off can be
adjusted from about 2 seconds to about 35 seconds, from the
Setup, Advanced, Options menu, see page 34.
Permanent Memory
All the devices you set up, their codes, punchthrough settings,
and all your favorites, etc., are stored in permanent memory
while you are changing batteries so you will not lose any
codes or settings stored in the remote while you are changing
batteries.
Using the Wizard
After you insert the batteries the Setup
Wizard screen (1) appears. You can exit
the Wizard at any time by pressing the
HOME key (located just below the
screen). Press any key at screen (1) to
continue and follow the instructions on
the screens.
Pressing OK at screen (2) takes you to
the next screen (3). Pressing the Left
navigation key (Back key) on the remote
at screen (3) takes you to screen (4) that
has 10 yellow arrows. This is an
exception to the rule because we’re
teaching you how to use the remote. But
pressing Back again at this point does
take you “back.”
Try pressing the Back key a few times to
go back through the Wizard and then
follow the instructions on the screens
again to familiarize yourself with how to
step through the screens and go back.
You can go back and forth through the
Wizard but once you’ve set up your
devices and quit to save the settings, you
won’t see the Wizard again unless you do
a Master Reset.
To do a Master Reset: Press the HOME
key, then select Setup, then select Clear
Settings, then select Master Clear. Note
this will erase everything you have set up
in the remote.

Setting Up Your Devices
Setting Up Your Devices, cont.
How to set up a TV
After you’ve been through the Wizard for
the first time, the screen (1) shown to the
right appears. This is the start of the
Wizard to set up your devices (TV being
the first one). Manually turn on the
device(s) to be set up (TV, VCR, etc.).
If you know your brand of TV, select Yes
which results in a faster search for your
TV’s code. (Selecting No searches the
complete library of TV codes, rather than
just the codes for your brand of TV).
Pressing the Side Key next to Yes at
screen (1) takes you to a screen (2) where
the most common brands are shown next
to the Side Keys. If your brand isn’t
shown you can press the Side Key
adjacent to Next to show more brands,
(shown alphabetically) or press the Side
Key adjacent to Back to go back to the
previous screen of brands. Note, on the
very first screen of brands, the Side Key
adjacent to Back takes you to the last
screen of brands (so you can go back
through the list instead of forward
through it if you prefer). In this case we
selected Philips.
Screen (3) tells you to point the remote
directly at your TV and repeatedly press
(but not hold) Power (or Chan Up/Down,
or Play for VCRs etc.) until your device
responds. Pressing Power sends the
Power command to your TV and screen
(4) shows that you’ve selected code 1 of
xx (xx will vary by brand). Keep pressing
Power until your TV responds and then
press Save.
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
Pressing Save shows screen (5) that
instructs you to try a few other keys on
the remote to make sure you’ve found
the correct code. Tip: try keys like Menu,
and Guide. Power might work yet you
still might not have the correct code. If
several keys seem to work fine, press
Save Code. If some keys don’t work,
select Change Code (or press Back) to
go back and find another code that works
better. Selecting Label lets you rename
the device, e.g. you could call it My TV.
You can ignore this for now and try it
later if you like. See pages 11, 12, and 23
for more details on entering text to
change labels.
Pressing Save Code at screen (5) takes
you to screen (6) where you set up a
Cable box. You can quit at this point and
set up other devices later, or you can continue and set up other
devices - SAT, DVR, DVD, VCR, Audio, CD Player, or either
of the 2 AUX devices.
Let’s assume for now that you go ahead and set up a TV,
Cable, and SAT.
If you select No at screen (1) on the previous page the
procedure will be similar to the above, except that you will be
searching through the entire library of codes for your device
to find the one that works best (instead of just searching
through the codes for your brand of device, e.g., Philips).
If you say Yes when asked if you know your Brand, but
subsequently don’t find a code that works, you are asked if
you want to try again (in case you missed it), or try all the
codes for your device. If you try all codes for your device
type, and still don’t find a code that works, you can skip it, or
selected Learn. If you select Learn you can later learn the
commands you want for that device type.

Setting Up Your Favorites
Once you’ve gone through the Wizard
and set up at least a TV, and set up more
devices, or skipped the rest of them, you
arrive at screen (1) to the right.
Press any digit key, say digit 4, to enter
a channel number. This takes you to
screen (2). You can enter more digits if
desired. The channel number can
include a dash (-) for digital channels,
e.g., 2-3, or can include ENTER, or OK,
if your device requires it to change
channels, e.g. 472Ok, or 550Ent.

Setting Up Your Favorites, cont.
If you want to add a label to the logo press the Side Key next
to Label. This is optional so if you don’t want to add a label to
the logo you can just select Save to save the setting for this
favorite. If you save this favorite, Set Favorite 2 of 10 is now
shown at the bottom of the screen to indicate that you can add
another favorite channel. Again just press a channel number
key on the remote, choose a logo and change the Device Type
(if you want to). Add a few more favorites (up to 10). You can
add more later, or delete or edit them later, or even reorder
their positions. Select Done when you’re finished setting up
favorites.
If you select Label, you see the screen to
the right with a small label on top of the
logo. Initially the label will be the channel
number for that logo. If you Save this, the
logo will have a small label representing
the channel number for that logo in it’s
bottom right hand corner, see screen (5).
Now you press the Side Key next to
Pick Logo on screen (2). You are shown
a screen (3) of popular channel logos.
You can select Next (Side Key 10) or
Back (Side Key 5) to see more logos. In
this example we pressed the NBC logo
(Side Key 4). Screen (4) now shows that
we’ve chosen channel 4 and the NBC
logo. Note, you could also select the top
left position which would display “4” as
the favorite rather than a logo.
The Default device is this case was Sat,
but you can select Pick Device to
change it. In this case we changed it to
Cable. Make sure you select the
device that you want each favorite to
control, e.g. TV, Cable, or Sat.

(5)
But you can type in a new label if you
want one. You enter the new name for
the key using the numeric keys on the
remote, in a similar fashion to typing in
text on a cell phone.
E.G. in this example we pressed the 5
key twice to enter the letter K. Then we
waited a second and pressed the 4 key
repeatedly until the letter I was
displayed. Then we waited a second and
pressed 6 to select N. Then we waited a
second and pressed the 4 key to select
G. See next page.

Setting Up Your Favorites, cont.
Using The Remote
Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to
text entry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle
through ALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.G.,
repeatedly pressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C,
2, a, b, c. Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w,
x, y, z. A “space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The
number 1 key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & and : You can backspace
an entry with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key. Press OK
(or the Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.
(6)
You can continue to add favorites, up to a
total of 10 (you can add more later, see
page 28). At screen (6) you choose if the
favorites you just set up are stored in the
“His” group or the “Hers” group. Later
you can set up favorites in lots of
different Groups, not just His and Hers.
Selecting His takes you to screen (7)
showing that you now have NBC set as
the first favorite in the His Group (at the
location next to Side Key K1), as well as
any other favorites you set up. (Note, you
can reorder, i.e., move the positions of
the logos later).
(7)
Assuming you followed the steps on the previous pages and
have set up some devices and some favorites you can now use
the remote. See the sections that follow to set up more devices
and/or favorites, and to set up other functions.
Using the remote
Press the HIS or HERS key at any time
to access the favorites you’ve set up. Or
press the FAVORITE key, then select
your favorites group. Then press the
Side Key next to the logo to change
your device to that channel. Selecting a
favorite group that has not yet been set
up, takes you to the setup Wizard.
Important: Make sure you point the remote at your device
until the channel changes. Pressing a favorite key might send
the commands for say channel 162, but if you don’t point the
remote at your device until all three digits are sent you might
just get channel 16, or even channel 1. Watch the flickering
halo at the bottom left of the screen, it flickers for each digit
sent. It also shows what device is being controlled.
Press the HOME key at any time to
access the screen where you can set
things up, or access other features.
When you’re finished setting up your
favorites, press the HOME key (located to
the left below the screen) to go back to the
Home screen.
At any time you can press the FAVORITE
key and then select His, or press the His
key at the top left hand side of the remote
to go to screen (7) above. Then pressing
the key next to the NBC logo will (in this
case) change the channel on your Cable
box to NBC (in this case channel 4).
Press the MODE key, then select a
device type to change the mode that the
remote is in. E.G., if the remote is in
Cable mode then the hard keys such as
Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down,
numbers, etc., operate your cable box.
Also, when you select a mode, any extra keys for that mode,
and any keys you’ve learned for that mode are displayed. The
current mode that the remote is in is displayed with an icon in
the lower left of the screen. In the above example it’s in Cable
mode. Press HIS or HERS to return to your favorites screen.
Before you continue, press Side Key K5 next to the Help icon
and follow the prompts to get an idea of how to use the remote.
