If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat
this step until the device turns back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the
remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the
component on the code list in this section.
3. Point the remote at the component.
4. Press and hold the component button you want to
program on the remote.
5. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list
on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have
either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t
programmable.
6. Release the component button, and then press ON•OFF
to see if the component responds to the command. If it
doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then
ON•OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next
code listed for your brand, until the component responds
to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and
none work, try the automatic code search method. If
automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote
is not compatible with your component.
Important
You must continue pressing the component
button while you enter the code.
Let’s say you have a Zenith TV. To program the
universal remote to operate the VCR, you
would:
Press and hold the TV button while you enter
the first code listed for Zenith in the TV Codes
column.
Release the TV button. Press ON•OFF to see if
the TV responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same
steps, but enter the second code for Zenith TVs
instead of the first.
Note
Some of the remote’s buttons might operate
differently for other components, especially
when you’re using another component’s menu
system.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver,
etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the
remote to control the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you
could control the TV.
1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT•CABLE, AUX) to set the remote to
control the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Notes:
• The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components. It also may not operate all
functions of the remote that came with your component.
• If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press
the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR,
press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
