Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan

If the code for your device is not listed in the tables starting on

page 119

or if you could not

find a code that worked for your device, use this procedure to scan the remote control’s
entire memory for the device code. In the instructions below, the column on the left
contains the instructions and the column on the right provides additional information.

Instructions

Additional Information

1

Turn the device on.

Use the device’s front-panel buttons or its original
remote control.

2

Press and hold the mode button until all the
mode buttons light up, and then release the
device mode button. The button flashes.

For example, for a TV, hold the

TV

mode button until

all of the other device mode buttons light. When you
let go of it, the TV mode button will start flashing.

3

For

AUX

mode only. Press 0 for TV, 1 for

VCR, or 2 for a tuner or amplifier. Then
press the

STAR

(*) button.

This step is for specifying the type of device that will
be programmed in

AUX

mode. If you’re not

programming a device in

AUX

mode, skip to step 4.

4

Press the remote’s

POWER

button.

This puts your remote control in code scan mode.

5

Press the

UP

ARROW

slowly and

repeatedly until your device turns off. You
can press the

DOWN

ARROW

to go back

and repeat the last code tested. When a
code turns of your device, go to Step 6.

As you press the

UP

or

DOWN ARROW

, the

remote tries each code in the memory to see if it can
turn off your device. When your device turns off, you
have found a code that might work.
Note: The mode button for the device will flash
rapidly eight times when you have scanned all the
available codes in memory for that device type.

6

Press the remote’s

POUND (#)

button.

The device mode button flashes three times if you
have entered the code correctly, and stores the code
that you found.

7

Turn the device back on and try some other
buttons to make sure that they work also.

Sometimes

POWER

works for a device when other

buttons do not. If using Limited Mode, then also try
the remote’s

VOLUME

or

MUTE

button(s).

8

If necessary, then repeat this procedure
until you’ve tried all available codes. Stop
when you have found the best code for
your device.

You may need to repeat the device-code scan to find
the best code for your device.
Note: This process could take a long time, because
of this remote’s very large device-code database.
