Testing the Code for Maximum FunctionalHy
DilTerem remote control codes can provide different levels
of functionality. To confirm that the component key is
programmed witli the correct code for maximum functionality,
follow the steps below.
1. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions
witli tile remote. If some features of your components do
not work, go to step 2 to try a different code.
2. Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from
step 1, ^"hen the component turns off for the first nmc.
do not press the STOP key, which would store the code.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the
POWER key repeatedly until tlie unit turns back on.
3. Once tlie unit turns back on, you have found another code
that operates the component. Press the STOP key.
4. Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control
a variety of the component’s functions. If tlie code dial
has been stored controls the majoriry of the component’s
functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does
not give maximum fimctionality, try anotlier code.
5. Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry 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 be
tested for maximum funcuonahty. Conunuc ihrougli die
code lists, cycling through the code.s you have already tried,
until you find one that offers maximum functionality.
Auto Code Search and Entry
Tlie Auto Code Search and Hntiy Method enables the remote
to automatically search througli all the codes in die Code Lists
for the one that operates your componenr.
Note: The Auto Code Search metJjod may take a lon^ time because
the remote searches through all oj the codes in Us memory for the code
that operates your component. Therf^re, if your brand is listed in the
Brand Codes or the Code Lists, frst try the Brand Code Search or the
Direct Code Entry method described on pages 2 3.
CL£Afi TIP: lb exit mthout saving at any point in the Auto Code
Search, press and release the CLEAR key.
1. Manually turn on die component you want the remote to
control (TV, VCR, DVD. DVR, satellite receiver, or cable box).
Notes:
• To pro^am the DVD*VCR key to control a VCR, see page J.
• To program the DVR*AUX
to control a component other than
a DVR, see page 4.
2, Press and hold the component
key (TV, SAT-CBL, DVD-VCR,
DVR»AUX) you wish to program.
Ihe LED turns on and rcmain.s on.
Keep holding down the component

3. While holding the component key down, press and hold the
POWER key. The LED turns off. After holding down both
ke>'s for three seconds, the LED turns back on.
4. Release both keys. The LED remains on.
Note: If you press an invalid key during Auto Code Search, the
remote does not respond and the search times out after two minutes.
Wl)en the search times out, the LED blinks four times and turns off.
The last programmed code under that component key is retained.
TIP: Throughout the programmingoftadi key, be sure to keep the
remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently
programming the remote to control.
5. Press and release the PI.AY key, then wait five
seconds to sec if your component turns off. If
your component does not respond, continue to
press the PIAY key cvciy five seconds until your
component turns off.
Each time you press the PI AY key, the LED blinks several
times and a block of 10 codes are sent to your component.
Tliis process continues until all of the codc.s in the Qidc Lists
have been .searched. If your component has not turned off
after all codes have been searched, rhe LED blinks tour times
and turns off. ihe Auto Code Search Emr>* method is exited.
REVERSE
o o o o
Wlien your component turrs off, you know the
correct code is in the last block of 10 codes sent.
Press and relca.se the REVER.SE key. Wait two
seconds to see if your component turns on again.
If your component docs not respond, continue to press the
REVERSE key ever>' two seconds until your component
rums on again. This will Isolate the correct code in the last
block of codes sent. Each time tlie REVERSE key is pressed,
the LED blinks.
Note: If you accidentally press the REVERSE key afieryour
component responds, press and release the bOKVCAKD key. I hen,
tc^iit rtpo seconds to see if your component turns offagain.
Onc-c your component turns on, you have found
the correct code. You must save the new code by
prcs.sing and releasing the .STOP key. The I.ED
turns off. Wlien you press die STOP key, die code
is stored.
IMPORTANT: You must press the STOPkey to stm the code or the
correct code will not he stored!
I. To confirm that die component key is programmed with
the correct code for maximum functionality, it is necessary
to test die component. If some of the features of your
component do not work, different codes in the list can
be tried until you find die code diat allows the remote
to control the majority of your component’s functions.
.Sec rhe section entitled “Testing the Code for Maximum
Functionality’' on the next page for more information.
Programming the DVR«AUX Key To Control Other Components
The DVR-AUX key defaults to control a DVR. If you want the DVR-AUX key to control a different component (an additional
TV, DVD, .satellite or cable box, for example), you must preprogram the DVR-AUX key.
1. Press and hold the D\Ti.*AUX key. ‘fhe LED tum.-i on.
2. While holding dowTi the DVR*AUX key, press and release
the number key on the keypad for die component you wish
to control (see the chart on the left). The LED turns off
3. Release the DVR'AUX key. The LED blinks four times
and then turns off. The DVR*AUX key is now “set" to
control whichever component you selected.
4. Next, program the DVR*AUX key to control the brand of component you have. Remember to consult the appropriate
component code list. For instance, if you have programmed the DVR-AUX key to control an addidonal DVD, consult the
DVD Code List. Program the key to control your component with the Code I.ist enclosed.
DVR*AUX KEY CONTROLS:
Additional TV press 1
VCR Of DVR press 2
Additional DVD press 3
Additional satellite or cable box press S
