the device back on, and reverse your UP or DOWN one
press at a time, until the unit turns off. There is no way of
knowing which code is the one that will have the functions
that more closely match your device than the others, so it is
wise to try them all. See #9 below.
(Please press the UP or DOWN button within 20 seconds
of beginning programming, otherwise the remote will
revert to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time,
it will go back to the MAIN device page.)
If there is more than one code number assigned to your
brand, try one code number at a time until you find the
right code number (the number that turns off your device.)
If the device turns off when you enter the three-digit code,
make note of the code. It will have at least some of the
functions in it that are needed to control your device.
8. Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power
button. After you have confirmed that the right code is
entered, save the code by pressing the SAVE button on the
LCD.
9. Confirm that you entered the right code number that
matches your component by pressing other functional
buttons. If any of the buttons do not operate, as they
should, please repeat from Step 1.
10. Continue to program other components by repeating
from step 1 above.
11. You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to
proceed.
12. Exit from Preprogrammed mode by pressing the MAIN
button and then exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the
MAIN button once again.

Press the device you wish to program. (For example, to

5. The remote will be flashing ÒFROM TABLEÓ. Select the
device from which the scanned code will be selected.
(Important: If you have already relabeled your device
keys, your LCD screen will not look like the illustration
above. Select the appropriate LCD button for the ÒFROM
TABLEÓ using the labels as shown in the illustration on
page 11 of this manual. For example, if you have relabeled
AUX as LIGHTS, you would still push the bottom-left
button to access the AUX Code Table.
Note: Use VCR1, not VCR2, to access the VCR code
library.)
6. Point the remote control toward the component and press
either the UP or DOWN button on the LCD. (It will send
out a series of Power Off codes when the button is kept
pressed and the code numbers that are being sent are shown
on the LCD.) If the right code number is sent, the
component will turn off right after the code number is
transmitted.
7. Release the UP or DOWN button you were pressing as
soon as the device is turned off. If you should happen to go
past the one that turned off you device, just manually turn
