Using the Remote Control
3. Point the remote at the component, press and release PLAY, then wait fi ve seconds or until the
component button you’re trying to program stops fl ashing.
At this point the remote control is searching for the correct code to program, so keep pointing it at
the component. If, after fi ve seconds, the component you want to control does not turn off, press and
release PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or until the all of the component
buttons on the remote fl ash 4 times in unison. If the component has not turned off by the time all the
component buttons on the remote control fl ash 4 times in unison, then the remote cannot control that
particular component.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.
2. To fi nish, press and hold STOP until the component button you’re trying to program on the remote
control turns off. This saves the code to that button.
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 at the end of this section.
3. On your remote control, press and hold the component button you want to program.
4. While pressing the component button, enter a code from the code list. If all of the component buttons
fl ash 4 times in unison, then the code you’ve entered is not the right kind of code for that button (see
pages 29-30 to see which buttons can be programmed to control the component you want).
5. Release the component button, point the remote at the component and then press ON•OFF to see if
the component responds to the remote control commands. If it doesn’t, try press ing the component
button and then ON•OFF (or other buttons on the remote) again.
6. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the
component responds to the remote control commands.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to operate your components.
To Operate the Component:
1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT•CABLE, AUDIO, AUX•HD) 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.
Notes: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of components.
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.)
