Press and hold the Power Button for 4 secs.
The standby LED will blink wildly, and the
selection LEDs will start sequencing to the
right. (You’ll know it when it happens!)
Step 2: Press the ‘1’ button for Intelligent-IR™ learning
Once the ‘1’ button
is pressed...
...the standby LED will flash slower,
and all the other LEDs will turn off.
Step 3: Teach the CVS4 its new IR codes
Press the following sequence of buttons on
your remote control:
Power 1 2 3 4 8 9 0
That’s it! The CVS4 now operates with your
new remote control!
Pick a remote, any remote!
