first three-digit code number you selected for your device.
There is no way of knowing which code is the one that will
have the functions that more closely match your device
than the others, so it is wise to try them all. See step #9
below.
(Please enter the code number within 20 seconds of
beginning programming, otherwise the remote will revert
to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time, it will
go back to the MAIN device page.)
If there is more than one code number assigned to your
brand, try one code number at a time until you find the
right code number (the number that
turns off your device.)
If the device turns off when you enter the three-digit code,
make note of the code. It will have at least some of the
functions in it that are needed to control your device.
8. Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power
button. The device should turn on. After you have
confirmed that the right code is entered, save the code by
pressing the SAVE button on the LCD.
9. At this point try ALL of the buttons on the remote, and
see which ones work with your device. The majority of the
buttons should work with your device. Make note of the
code if it seems to be the right one, and try the next one.
You are trying to find the one that has the most functions to
operate your equipment. If there are any functions missing,
you will learn them from your original remote in the
ÒLearning MethodÓ section on page 19.
10. Continue to program other components by repeating
from Step 1 above.
11. You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to
proceed.

12. When you are finished programming your remote, exit
from the preprogramming mode by pressing the MAIN
button and then exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the
MAIN button once again.
Tip: You can change the preprogrammed code for each
device at any time by following the steps above. The new
code will override the old code. For example, this would be
done if you replaced your old TV with a new one.
Tip: Please note that you use the code table from VCR1 for
VCR2 setup. The code table for Laser Disc is stored under
DVD. The code table for Tuner is stored under Audio.
2. Auto Scan With Three-Digit Number
You can also program your remote control by sending out a
series of Power Off commands for different brands stored
in the library by using the following steps. This is similar
to the first method, except it is easier to move through all
of the device codes for your device and make note of each
one that turns your device OFF.
1. Manually turn on the device you plan to operate.
2. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and
ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.
3. Press the P-PRO button next to the LCD screen.
