In most cases, the keys on

this remote perform the same

functions as the keys on your

original remotes once you’ve

programmed this remote to

operate your components.

Many keys on this remote

have other functions as well.

Illuminated ON•OFF key

serves as an indicator light to

provide feedback.

Device keys (TV,

SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD,

VCR•AUX) put the remote in

the right mode to control your

device.

Backlight key (

) turns

backlighting on/off.

GUIDE and MENU put the

remote in menu/guide mode,

which makes the CH/VOL

keys serve as arrow keys;

they also access the same

features as the keys on your

original remotes.

CH and VOL keys have dual

functions: they can act as

navigation keys in menu

systems as well as channel

and volume controllers

outside the menus. The

CH keys also provide skip

forward and skip back control

for DVD players and DVRs

that support this functionality.

1.

Manually turn on the device you

want to control.

3.

Wait until the ON•OFF key comes on and stays on. Then

release both keys.

4.

Point the remote directly at the front panel of the device you

want to control. Press ON•OFF on the remote and wait 2

seconds. The remote is testing a single code for your device.

Did your device turn off?

YES: Press the STOP key to store

the code. You’re done! You’ve

programmed this device key.

NO: Press ON•OFF again. The

remote tests the next code for

your device.

Keep pressing ON•OFF every 2

seconds until your device turns off.

When it does, press STOP.

TIP: Because there are so many codes, you may have to press
the ON•OFF key many times—possibly hundreds of times.

NOTES
Throughout the programming of each key, keep the remote

pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are programming

the remote to control.
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device

key is programmed with the correct code for maximum

functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different

code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality”

section below for more information.
During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores

keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the ON•OFF key

blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed

code under that device key is retained).
The ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off when the

remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the

Manual Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try

a different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1.
Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If

some features of your devices don’t work, go to the next

step to try a different code.

2. Repeat the Manual Code Search from the beginning. When

the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP

key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the

unit now off, continue to press the

ON•OFF

key repeatedly

until the unit turns back on.

3. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code

that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4. Test the key’s functionality again by trying a variety of

functions. If the code controls the majority of the device’s

functions, programming is complete. If the code stored

does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

IMPORTANT
Because this remote controls more than one device, you

must first “tell” the remote which device you wish to

operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you

must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV

Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until you press

a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV

Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must

press the

DVD

key to change device modes.

Tour of the Remote

2.

Press and hold the device key you want to program. While

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand

to press and hold the remote’s ON•OFF key at the same

time.

GO BACK exits remote programming; it also performs the

same functions as on your original remotes.

The INPUT and — (dash) key has three functions: (1) it toggles

through all the video sources connected to your TV; (2) when

the remote is in VCR mode, this button toggles between VCR

and the TV input; (3) when you’re entering digital channel

numbers directly, this button lets you separate the main

channel number from the sub-channel number (such as 59.1).

Backlighting

Backlight illumination helps you see the remote control keys

better in the dark. You can turn backlight illumination on or off

by pressing the backlight key (

). Backlighting stays on as

long as keys are being pressed and turns off six seconds after

the last keypress. Once the backlight time has timed out, any

keypress will reactivate it. If the backlight illumination is on,

and you press the backlight key, the backlight turns off.
