Try out other remote control keys to find out the
range of functions you can control. If you think
that not all of the keys are active, repeat the pro-
cedure of this programming method to find out
the code supporting a wider range of features.

Method D - Automatic code search

With this method, the remote control scrolls
through the full code list by sending an IR signal
to the set to be controlled remotely. Proceed as
follows:

1.

Check that your equipment is on. If not,
switch it on manually.

2.

Hold the

SETUP

key down until the key cor-

responding to the last selected mode blinks
and then remains lit (the indicator lamp
remains lit for several seconds in order to let
you continue with the following steps. The
blinking of the indicator indicates the end of
the available time, then it goes out).

3.

Release the

SETUP

key.

4.

Press the key corresponding to the type of
equipment (for example

TV

).

5.

Press the

PROG

. key once. After a few

seconds the remote control begins to list all
the codes included in the library (around 1
code per second). Press

PROG

a second

time to reduce the speed of the test (1 code
every 5 seconds).As soon as the device chan-
ges channel you must immediately press

OK

to record the code and stop the listing. If you
don’t react quickly enough, simply return to
the previous code by pressing

PROG

(you

can restart the forward listing by pressing

PROG

. As soon as the device reacts again,

press

OK

to record the code.

Method E – Programming for control of
a COMBO (combined TV-VCR,TV/DVD,
VCR/DVD, … set)

Depending on the COMBO group (TV/VCR,
VCR/DVD, etc.) and the make, you will be requi-
red to enter a single code for both devices in the
COMBO, or to enter two codes, one code per
device. Consult the separate list to discover this.
Before you start programming, you must find the
subcode or code of the subset to be controlled
(television or video recorder).
Refer to the list supplied with this user manual
(see page subcodes or codes).

1.

Switch on the COMBO you want to control.

2.

Hold the

SETUP

key down until the key cor-

responding to the last selected mode blinks
and then remains lit.

3.

Press the key of the first device to control,
and then follow one of the programming
methods A, B, C or D previously described.

4.

If a second code programming is required, then
repeat steps 2 and 3 above.

How to retrieve a programmed code?

It may be useful to retrieve the code program-
med in the remote control.

1.

Hold the

SETUP

key down until the key cor-

responding to the last selected mode blinks
and then remains lit.

2.

Press the key that corresponds to the type of
equipment you want to control:

TV: television set - DVD: DVD player - VCR: video cas-
sette recorder - SAT: satellite - CBL: cable - DVBT:
receiver (adaptor) for terrestrial digital television -
AMP:Amplifier - AUDIO: Hifi system - AUX: other devi-
ces.

3.

Press the

SETUP

key briefly, so that the last

mode selected blinks once.

4.

Press the numbered keys in ascending order
(0 to 9) until the selected mode blinks once.

5.

The number that caused the selected mode
to blink is the first of the three numbers that
make up your code. Make a note of it below

6.

Repeat step 4 to find out the two other num-
bers of the code.

7.

When the third number has been found, the
indicator light for the selected mode goes
out.

Check of the programming

• For a television or a satellite receiver: switch on and,

for example, press 2 to change channels.

• Video recorder: load a tape and then press

.

• DVD player: load a DVD and then press

.

Try other remote control keys to find out the range of
functions you can control. If you think that not all of the
keys are active, try the programming Method B or C.

When you have retrieved the code of your set, jot it down
so that you can use it whenever needed.

Programming a sequence

of commands (Macro)

The

MACRO

key in coordination with one of the

keys A, B, or C allows the programming and
memorisation of up to 3 command sequences (the
automatic and successive pressing of several keys
of your choice). Thus any sequence of key com-
mands can be reduced to merely 2 commands
(

MACRO

key

+ A, B, or C key). For example after

programming, by pressing

MACRO

then key A you

could turn on your television set, turn on your
satellite or cable receiver, zap to a preferred chan-
nel, turn on your video cassette recorder and start
a recording session (providing a cassette was pre-
viously loaded). You can memorise a sequence of
10 commands with each A, B, or C key.
