Code Search

If your product does not respond after you have tried all
the codes for your brand, or if your brand is not listed,
try searching for your code by following these steps.
1. Manually turn on the device (

TV

,

VCR

, etc.) to be

controlled.

2. Press and hold the

CODE SEARCH

button until the

red indicator stays on, then release the

CODE

SEARCH

button.

3. Press and quickly release the desired mode button

(

TV

,

VCR

, etc.). The red indicator blinks off once.

4. Press the

CHANNEL UP

button repeatedly (up to 300

times) until the device to be controlled changes
channel. The red indicator blinks off with each
button press. If you accidentally overshoot the
code required, press the

CHANNEL DOWN

button

to backtrack through the library until the device
changes channel. Pressing

CHANNEL UP

changes

direction to forward again.

5. Press and release

MUTE

to install the code.

Most users will store

VCR

codes under the

VCR

button,

Satellite codes under

SAT

, etc. If (for example) you want

to store a

VCR

code under

SAT

, first follow the procedure

for Direct Code Entry (page 10) and press

SAT

in step 2

of Direct Code Entry, then enter ANY VCR code in step 3
of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps above for
Code Search (or Brand Search, page 12).

Note: If the device does not have a

CHANNEL UP

button, use

PLAY

(

VCR

only) or

POWER

instead. Code

Search starts from the currently stored three digit

number under that mode.
