brand. If your brand isn’t listed, use one of the Code Search
methods to program the remote control. (Refer to pages 3-5

code entry procedure. Repeal the Direct Code Entry process
from step 3 and try the next code listed.

widi die remote. If some features of your componenrs do not
work, try pro^mming the remote vidth a different code in the
list until you find the code that allows the remote to control
die majority of your component’s fimcdons. Different codes
can provide different levels of functionality.

Manual Code Search and Entry

If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code Lists, or if
you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote
docs not operate your component, try one of the 0>dc Search
methods below-Manual Code Search or Auto Code Seardi.
Both Code Search inediods cycle through all of the codes in
the Code Lists in the event that your component’s code is
listed under another brand.

Note: The Manual Code Search method mery take a long time
because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memoryfor
the code that operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is
listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code
Search or the Direct Code Entry method described on pages 2-3.
