1. Manually turn on the component
you want the remote to control
(TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver
or cable box).
2. Locate the enclosed Code Lists.
Find the list for the component
you wish to program. Find your
component’s brand. You will see a
listing of four-digit codes for each
brand. If your brand isn’t listed,
use the Manual Code Search
method to program the remote
control. (Refer to page 6 for
Manual Code Search method.)
3. Press and hold the component key
(TV, VCR, DVD, SAT·CBL) you
wish to program. The LED
indicator light turns on and remains
on. If you release the component
key any time during the Direct
Code Entry procedure, the LED
indicator light blinks four times,
and the process is exited.
Programming the Remote
Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands of
components. In order for your universal remote to control
your components, you need to program the remote with
the codes that match the components (See Code Lists
enclosed). These codes enable the remote to communicate
with your components. Each brand and each component
has its own “language,” and, by programming the correct
codes into your remote, you tell the remote to “speak the
same language” as your components.
There are two methods you can use to program your
remote control to operate your components: Direct Code
Entry and Manual Code Search and Entry. Most
components can be programmed in one of these ways.
Trythem in the order listed.
In order to control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units,
you must program both the TV key and the VCR or DVD
key. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls
the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR or DVD key
controls the VCR or DVD functions. There is a specific
section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes in
this section should be tried first, using Direct Code Entry
on the TV and VCR or DVD keys. If this is unsuccessful,
follow the normal programming methods for both the TV
and the VCR or DVD keys.
Programming Methods
Direct Code Entry
To program your universal remote to control your
components using the Direct Code Entry Method,
follow the steps below.
4. While holding down the component
key, consult the Code Lists for the
four-digit code that corresponds to
your component’s brand and use the
number keys (0-9) on the keypad to
enter it. While you are pressing the
numbers, the LED indicator
light turns off.
5. After the fourth number is entered,
the LED indicator light turns on. At
this time, release the component key.
If the LED indicator light turns off,
you have entered a valid code and
have followed the correct procedure
for Direct Code Entry.
If you enter a code number that is
not in the Code Lists or you do not
follow all of the steps for Direct
Code Entry, the LED indicator light
blinks four times when the
component key is released. This is an
indication that a programming error
has occurred. In that case, repeat the
Direct Code Entry process from step
3 and try the next code listed.
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.
6. 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, try
programming the remote with a
different code in the list 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.

Manual Code Search and Entry
If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code Lists, or
if you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the
remote does not operate your component, try the Manual
Code Search. This Code Search method cycles through all
of the codes in the Code Lists in the event that your
component’s code is listed under another brand.
The Manual Code Search method 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 Code Lists, first
try the Direct Code Entry method described on page 4.
