Using the Remote Control
Chapter 2 21
Programming the Remote
There are three ways to program the remote control to operate other
devices: Direct Entry, Manual Code Search, and Automatic Code
Search. If you have recently purchased the device you want to control
or if the device has many codes, you might want to try the manual
code search fi rst.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the device you want to control.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device in the code
list at the end of this section.
3. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the
ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3 seconds) until a
device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
4. Press and release the device button (SAT•AUX or DVD) you want
to program.
5. Enter a three digit code from the code list.
6. To test the code you’ve programmed for that device button, point
the remote at the device and then press ON•OFF to see if the
device responds to the remote control.
If the device turns off, you’ve entered the correct programming
code for your device. Circle the code you entered for future
reference.
If the device doesn’t turn off, repeat these steps until you’ve tested
all codes for your device’s brand or try to run a manual code
search.
Using Manual Code Search
Note: Before using manual code search, you must use Direct Entry fi rst. This lets the
remote know which type of device to begin searching codes. Then proceed with the
following steps.
1. Turn on the device you want to control.
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons
(approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
3. Press and release the device button (SAT•AUX or DVD) you want to program.
4. Repeatedly press and release the ON•OFF button, watching for the device to respond.
If it does turn off, press and release the OK button within 3 seconds to save the code. If
you accidentally passed the code before saving it, press the left arrow button to backtrack
through the codes; then use the right arrow button to go forward through the codes again.
When all codes have been searched, the device button fl ashes 3 times, then the remote exits
manual code search and returns to normal operation.
Using Automatic Code Search
1. Turn on the device you want to control.
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold ON•OFF and MUTE
(approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
3. Press and release the device button you want to program.
