Testing the Code for
Maximum Functionality
To confirm that the component key is programmed with the
correct code for maximum functionality, it is necessary to test the
component. If some of the features of your component do not
work, different codes in the list can be tried until you find the code
that allows the remote to control the majority of your component’s
functions. Different codes can provide different levels of
functionality. Follow these steps to test for maximum functionality.
1. Once the code has been stored (see Manual Code Search and
Entry Method, page 3), use the remote to attempt to control a
variety of the component’s functions. If the code that has been
stored controls the majority of the component’s functions,
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give
maximum functionality, you will want to try another code.
2. In that case, repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method
from step 1. When the component turns off for the first time,
do not press the STOP key, which would store the code. Instead,
wait 4 seconds, with the unit now off, continue to press the
ON•OFF key repeatedly until the unit turns back on. Once the
unit turns back on, you have found another code that operates
the component. Press the STOP key.
3. Test the functionality again by attempting to control a variety
of the component’s functions. If the code that has been
stored controls the majority of the component’s functions,
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give
maximum functionality, you will want to try another code.
4. Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from step
1. Each time a code turns the component on or off, you have
found a code that operates the remote and needs to be tested
for maximum functionality. Continue through the code lists,
cycling through the codes you have already tried, until you find
one that offers maximum functionality.
Auto Code Search and Entry
The Auto Code Search and Entry Method enables the remote
to automatically search through all the codes in the Code Lists
for the one that operates your component.
Note: The Manual and Auto Code Search methods may take a long
time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory
for the code that operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is
listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code
Search or the Direct Code Entry methods described on pages 2 and 3.
c. Release the
VCR•DVD key. The illuminated ON•OFF key
blinks four times and then turns off. Your remote is now
either in VCR or DVD Programming Mode, depending
on which you chose. Proceed to step 4.
4. Press and hold the component key (
TV, VCR•DVD,
SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The illuminated ON•OFF
key turns on and remains on.
Tip: To exit without saving at any point in the Auto
Code Search, press and release the GO BACK key.
1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to
control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or cable box).
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Auto Code Search,
the remote does not respond. If you do not press a valid Auto Code
Search key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL, ON•OFF, GO BACK,
PLAY, REVERSE, FORWARD, STOP), the search times out
after two minutes. When the search times out, the illuminated
ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off. The last programmed
code under that component key is retained.
2. If you are programming the remote to control your TV,
satellite receiver or cable box go directly to step 4.
3.
To program the remote to control a VCR or DVD. The
VCR•DVD key can control only one component, either
your VCR or your DVD. To program your remote to
control either your DVD or your VCR, you must first put
the remote in the proper programming mode. Follow these
directions before proceeding to step 4.
a. Press and hold the
VCR•DVD key. The illuminated
ON•OFF key turns on.
b. While holding down the
VCR•DVD key, press and release
the number 2 key on the keypad to control a VCR or
the number 3 key to control a DVD. The illuminated
ON•OFF key turns off.
5. While holding the component key down,
press and hold the ON•OFF key. The
illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
6. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the
illuminated ON•OFF key turns back on.
7. Release both keys. The illuminated
ON•OFF key remains
on.
Tip: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the
remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently
programming the remote to control.
11.To confirm that the component key is programmed with
the correct code for maximum functionality, test the
component. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s
functions with the remote. If some of the features of your
components do not work, different codes in the list can
be tried until you find the code that allows the remote
to control the majority of your component’s functions.
See the section entitled “Testing the Code for Maximum
Functionality” on page 4 for more information.
8. Press and release the PLAY key,
then wait five seconds to see if
your component turns off. If your
component does not respond,
continue to press the PLAY key
every five seconds until your
component turns off. Each time
you press the PLAY key, the
illuminated ON•OFF key blinks
and a block of 10 codes are sent
to your component. This process
continues until all of the codes
in the Code Lists have been
searched. (If your component has
not turned off after all codes have
been searched, the illuminated
ON•OFF key blinks four times
and turns off. The Auto Code
Search Entry method is exited.)
9. When your component turns off, you know the
correct code is in the last block of 10 codes sent.
Press and release the REVERSE key. Wait two
seconds to see if your component turns on again. If
your component does not respond, continue to press the
REVERSE key every two seconds until your component
turns on again. This will isolate the correct code in the last
block of codes sent. Each time the REVERSE key is pressed,
the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks.
Note: If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your
component responds, press and release the FORWARD key.
Then, wait two seconds to see if your component turns off
again.
10.Once your component turns off, you have found
the correct code. You must save the new code by
pressing and releasing the STOP key. The illuminated
ON•OFF key turns off. You must press the STOP
key to save the code or the correct code will not be
stored!
