Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your components. If
you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press CLEAR
until the indicator on the remote turns off.
1.
Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR or DVD player)
2.
Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR or DVD). While holding the
component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release
both buttons.
3.
Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY (the indicator light on the remote flashes).
The remote is searching for the correct code to program. When the indicator stops flashing (after
about 5 seconds), press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light on the remote turns off. If
the indicator light turns off, then all the codes for that particular component have been tested once. If
the component does not turn off, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate that component.
Note:
Each time you press PLAY, the remote sends about 10 sets of codes. Therefore, you might have
to press the PLAY button up to 20 times.
If the component you want to operate
does
turn off:
1.
Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.
2.
To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1.
Turn on the component to be programmed.
2.
Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.
3.
Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4.
Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you
have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.
5.
Release the component button.
6.
Point the remote at the component. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the
command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.
•
If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the
component responds to the remote commands.
•
If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search
method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your
component.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Because this universal remote can operate several different components, it uses operational modes
triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to operate the TV, you would
press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could operate the TV.
1.
Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR) to set the remote to operate the component.
2.
Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3.
Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Note:
If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong
mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e.,
if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
