Can’t find a code that works 
your device (or one that does 
everything you want it to do)?
Use the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup 
Wizard! The setup wizard lets you enter 
your device’s model number to find 
exactly the right code for your device. 
If you find a code that does most of what 
you want to do with a device, you can 
learn additional keys from your original 
remote through the remote’s Settings 
menu (see the remote’s user manual for 
instructions).

Tips for setting up devices
• Always point the remote directly at the
device you’re trying to control.
• It may take a few seconds for your device
to respond to a command (especially on or 
off). Be patient between presses—give your 
device a few seconds to respond. 
• Some brands of devices do not use a POWER
key to turn the device on or off. Instead they 
use separate POWER ON and POWER OFF 
keys. Check your devices’ original remotes 
to see if any of them have these separate 
power keys. If they do, use other keys 
(volume, channel, or number keys) to test 
codes in this step.
First, test the
(Power) button on the remote.
If your device turns off, try several other keys on 
your remote to make sure this code gives you all the 
functionality you want for this device. For example, if 
you’re testing a code for your DVD player, you definitely 
want the transport keys to work (play, stop, fast forward, 
etc.). So you should test at least these keys for a DVD 
player.
If the other keys on the remote work for your device, press 
Works! If the other keys don’t work, press Next to try the 
next code in the library.

Add another device?
More devices? 
Once you’ve found a code that works for your device, the 
remote asks if you want to add another device. Press Yes

Do you want to set
your volume to
control one device
(e.g. your amp or TV)
at all times?
Set master volume (for devices with audio control)
If you’ve set up an audio receiver, the remote asks you 
if you want to set a device as the Master Volume control 
once you’ve finished setting up devices on your remote. 
You should answer Yes only if you always change volume 
using the same device for all your devices.
