Programming the Remote Control
If you would like to use your HD DVR’s remote control to control other equipment, you may
need to program your remote control. Follow the steps below to program the remote control.
Turn to “Manufacturer’s Codes” on page 14 and find the three-digit code number for the
manufacturer of your component. If more than one code number is listed, use the number
listed first.
1 Power on the HD DVR and the device which you want to operate with the HD DVR’s
remote control.
2 Slide the Remote Control's Device Switch to the device you want to program (such as TV
or DVD).
3 Press and hold the AUX POWER and MENU buttons simultaneously for five (5) seconds.
The LED (light emitting diode) will begin to blink slowly.
4 Enter the three-digit code from the Manufacturer's Code list found on pages 14 and 15.
5 Press the SELECT or ENTER button on your remote control to store your code selection.
The LED will illuminate for two (2) seconds if the code is accepted or it will quickly blink
for two (2) seconds if the code was not accepted.
6 The LED will stop flashing once the above step is done.
To check if the code number works, aim the HD DVR’s remote control at the device and press
the AUX POWER button to see if the device will turn on and off. If it does not respond, try
using another code listed for that manufacturer.
✍ The equipment must have infrared (IR) remote capability in order to be used with the
remote control
.
• You may enter either a DVD or VCR manufacturer’s code under the DVD device switch setting.
The default device for this setting is DVD. If a VCR’s manufacturer code is entered, the DVD
position on the device switch will control the VCR.
• If you enter a new code, it will overwrite the previously entered code.
• In some cases, your device may not be compatible with your remote control; in such cases you will
need to use its remote control to operate the device.
• Whenever the batteries are removed, the codes may revert to factory settings and you will need to
reprogram the remote control.
