lesting the Code for Meudmum Functionality

Diifcrcni remote control codes can provide difierent levels of
functionality. lb confirm that the component key is programmed
with the correct code for maximum ftinclionality, follow llie
steps below.

1. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions

with die remote. If some features of your components do not
work, go to step 2 to try a different code.

2. Repeat ilie Auto Code Seanii Method from step 1. When

you’ve found liie code tirai tum.s your component back
on, do not pre-v. the STOP key, which would store the
code. Instead, with the unit now on, continue to press the
REVERSE ke>' repeatedly until tlie unit turns back off.

Note: [fyou avtnot finá anolber coiif in this block lhat works, press the
PI^Y button to continue searclnng throug/j (be code blocks. When the
component turns offagain, press the REVERSE key tofind the code in
lhat Mock that makes your component turn back on.

3. Once die unit turns baeJe on, you have found another code

that operates the component. Press the .STOP key.

4. Test the ke)"’s funcdonalit)' again by attempting to control

a variety of the component’s hincdons. If the code that
has been stored controls the majority of the component’s
hmetions, progranuning is complete. If the code stored does
not give maximum functionality, try another code.

5. Repeat the Auto C3ode Search Method from step 1. Each time

a code turns the component on or off, you have found a code
that operates the remote and needs to tested for maximum
functionality. Continue through the code lists, cycling
through the codes you have already tried, until you find one
that often, maximum functionality.

Code Retrieval

Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your
components, you may want to record the codes for future
reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, this
is easy, fust find the codes you catered and make a note of
them in the boxes below. If you used one of the Code .Search
methods to program your remote or if you used the Direct

Entrj’ method bur don’t remember the code, you will need to
retrieve each component’s four-digit code. Rcineving die actual
code and writing it down will save you time if you ever need
to program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when
you change the batteries). If the codes arc recorded, you can use
the Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control
your components, which is quick and easy.

ISD

1. Press and hold die component

key (TV, SAT-CBL. DVD'VCR,
DVR*AUX) whose code you wish
to retrieve, llie I.F.D turns on.
Keep pressing die component key.

2. While holding the component key down, press and hold

the INFO key. The LED turns off. After holding down both
keys for diree seconds, the LED turns back on.

3. Release both keys. The LED remains on.

4. Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each

number key on the keypad in die following order (1-9, then
0). The number that causes die T.ED to blink is the first
number of the code. As you find each number of die code,
write it down for future reference.

Note: AB TV codes Mgin with the number 1; aU VCR and DVR
codes begiin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number J; and all
satellite receivers and cable boxes, dte number 5.

5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all four numbers in

the code. After the fourth number is retrieved, the LED
blinks briefly, then turns oft’.

TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode, press and release the

CLEAR kty' at any time.

Note: if you press an invalid

during the Code Retrievalprocess,

tlje remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid Code
Retrieval key OX SADCBL DVD-VCR, DVR*AUX, /A7-0,
CLEAR), Code Retrieval times out ffter IS seconds. The LED
blinks four times, and then turns off.

Using the Remote to Control
Your Components

Because diis remote controls more than one component, you
must first “tell” the remote which component you wish to operate.
'Iliaf means, if you wish to operate your TV, you must first press
the TV key to put the remote in the TV Mode,

llie remote stays in the chosen component mode (such as TV

Mcxlc) until you change it. If your remote is in TV Mode, you
must change die mode m order to operate your DVT), VCR, DVR,
acuiliary component, satellite receiver, or cable box.'For example,
if you are in DVD Mode, and you wish to turn off your TV, you
must press the TV key first before pressing the POWER key.

Accessing Component Menus
and Guides

’Ibday's advanced components use on-scrcen menus and guides
to help you navigate through all their features and programming.
W'hile this remote may not access every menu or guide system
of every component model, it docs offer some menu and guide
functionality.

To use a component’s on-screen menu or guide system, you first

have to put the remote in Menu or Guide Mode.

1. Make sure your components are turned on and your 'IV is set

to a component input (Use the INPUT key to toggle through
inputs when in TV Mode.)

2. Press the component key wdiose

menu you want to access.

3. To access menus, pre.vs the MENU

key. To access guides, press the
GUIDE key. The LED blinks,
indicating you are in Menu or
Guide Mode.
