Important note for direct entry
You must continue pressing the component
button while you enter the code.
Let’s say you have a Zenith VCR. To program
the universal remote to operate the VCR, you
would:
Press and hold the VCR button while you en-
ter the rst code listed for Zenith in the VCR
Codes column.
Release the VCR button. Press ON•OFF to see
if the VCR responds. If it doesn’t, follow the
same steps, but enter the second code for
Zenith VCRs instead of the rst.
Note
Some of the remote’s buttons might operate
differently for other components, especially
when you’re using another component’s menu
system.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list
in this section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If
the indicator ashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button
isn’t programmable.
5. Release the component button, point the remote at the component and
then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it
doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for
your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the
automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t nd the
code, the remote is not compatible with your component.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV,
DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the
component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to operate the TV,
you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you
could control the TV.
1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT/CAB,
AUX/HD, AUDIO) to set the remote to control the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component. The component
button on your remote lights up when you press valid buttons while in that
component’s mode.
Notes:
• The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of
components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that
came with your component.
• If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is
probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button
that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to
operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote
in VCR mode.)
