CABLE

1. Manually turn on the satellite 

receiver or cable box.

2. Locate the enclosed Satellite or Cable

Box Code List. Find your brand in the
Satellite Codes or Cable Box Codes
section, respectively.

Note:

If your brand isn’t listed, 

use one of the Code Search methods 
to program this remote control 
(See Code Search on page 9).

3. Press and hold the 

CODE SEARCH

key until the indicator light illuminates.
Then release the 

CODE SEARCH

key.

4. Press and release the 

DBS•CABLE

key. The indicator light blinks and
then remains lit.

5. Use the number keys on the remote to

enter the first code listed for your brand.
After you enter a valid three-digit
code, the indicator light turns off.

Note:

If you enter an invalid code, 

the LED will flash rapidly for 2
seconds. Start over at step 3.

6. Aim the remote at the satellite receiver

or cable box and press the

ON•OFF

key. If your Satellite receiver or cable
box turns off, you have found the
correct code.

7. Enter the code in the box provided

on this page for future reference.

8. If your satellite receiver or cable box

doesn’t turn off, repeat steps 3-6 above,
entering the next code for your brand.
If none of the codes work or your
brand is not listed, use one of the
Code Search methods to program 
this remote (See Code Search on page 9).
For a description of each key on the
remote control, refer to the Key
Descriptions section page 3-4.

In order for the 4 component universal remote to control your
satellite or cable box, you must program it with the code that
matches your component. The 

DBS•CABLE

key can be

programmed to operate either a satellite receiver or a 
cable box. These instructions explain the preferred method
of programming the remote—the Direct Entry method.
