Programming the remote control for use with
your audio/video devices
Device code setup
1. Refer to the Device code table on pages 22 – 23 to find the code
for the brand of your device.
If more than one number is listed, try each one separately until
you find the one that works.
2. Press MODE until the Mode indicator of the device (CABLE/
SAT, VCR, DVD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2) lights up.
3. While holding down the RECALL button, press the Channel
Number buttons to enter the four-digit code of your brand of
device. If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink
twice. If an invalid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink
one long blink.
4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test
the code.
If the device turns on, you have entered the correct code.
If the device does not respond to the remote control, you may
have entered the wrong code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another
code.
5. Press MODE to select the TV mode to control the TV.
Searching and sampling the code of a device (8500)
If you do not know the device code for a particular target unit, you
can cycle the remote control through the available codes for that
device mode and sample the functions to find the code that properly
operates the target device. The keys available to be sampled, provided
they are applicable to that mode, are POWER, 1, VOL y, CH y, and
PLAY. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.
To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:
1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.
2. While holding down the RECALL button, press 8 –5 –0 –0.
The remote control will enter program mode.
3. Point the remote control at the target device and press POWER
(or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).
4. If the device responds to the remote control:
Press RECALL to store the device code.
The mode indicator will blink twice and the remote control
will exit the program mode.
If the device does not respond to the remote control:
Press y, and then press POWER.
Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote
control, and then press RECALL.
Note: When a search cycle is completed, the mode indicator will blink
three times. The remote control will begin to cycle through the
available codes again. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while
programming, the remote control will exit the program mode and
return to the previous code.

RECALL
Note:
• Every time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
• Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These VCRs
have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”
If your VCR has this kind of switch and
does not respond to any of the codes for
your VCR brand, set the switch to the other
position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram
the remote control.
