Using the TV
Searching for the component code
If your device does not respond to the remote control after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if
your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code:
1 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT button or DVD/VCR button once.
2 Press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP.
3 Press the number buttons 9, 9,1. The red light blinks twice.
4 Aim the remote control at the set-top-box or the VCR or DVD and slowly alternate between pressing
PWR and the component (CBL/SAT or DVD/VCR) button. Stop when the component turns off.
NOTE:
In the search mode, the remote control sends codes from its library to the selected device,
starting with the most popular code first.
5 Press SETUP once to lock in the code.
Checking the component code
If you have set up the remote control to use a component, you may need to find out which four-digit
code is operating your component equipment:
1 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT or DVD/VCR once.
2 Press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP.
3 Press the number buttons 9, 9,1. The red light blinks twice.
4 For the first digit of the code, press the number button 1 once. Wait 3 seconds, and then count the
number of times the red light blinks and write down the number.
NOTE:
When you count three blinks, it means the code digit is 3. When a code digit is 0, the red
light will not blink.
5 Repeat step 4 for the three remaining digits of the code, pressing 2 for the second digit, 3 for the
third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit.
Reassigning component buttons
The remote control can be set up to control a second TV or VCR, or any combination of eight home
entertainment components.
For example, to control a TV, a Cable Converter, and two VCRs, you need to re-assign a component
button to operate the second VCR as follows:
1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2 Press the number buttons 9, 9,1. The red light blinks twice.
3 Press DVD/VCR once, then press CBL/SAT once.
4 The CBL/SAT button is now ready to be programmed for your second VCR. See “Programming the
component code“ on page 33.
