Code Search Methods

Manual Code Search

1. Manually turn on the component 

you want the remote to operate.

2. Press and hold the 

CODE SEARCH 

key for approximately three seconds
until all four component keys light up.
Then release the 

CODE SEARCH

key.

3. Press and release the component key

that corresponds to the component you
want the remote to operate (

TV

VCR

or 

DBS•CABLE

). The chosen

component key remains lit.

Note: 

For DVD or AUX, press

DVD•AUX

, then the component key

corresponding to the component to be
stored under the 

AUX

key. For DVD,

press 

DVD•AUX

, then the 

VCR

key. 

For an auxiliary component, press

DVD•AUX

, then the corresponding

component key (

TV

VCR

,

DBS

CABLE

).

4. Aim the remote at the component and

press the 

ON•OFF

key continuously until

the component turns off. The component
key remains lit during this process,
blinking each time you press the

ON•OFF

key.

Important:

Because there are so many

codes, you may have to press the

ON•OFF

key many times—possibly 

up to 200 times.

5. When the component turns off, press

the 

ENTER

key immediately to store

the code. The lighted component key
then turns off.

6. Use Code Retrieval on the next 

page to identify the code for your
component for future reference.

If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code List or 
you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote
does not operate your component, use one of the Code Search
methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search.
Both Code Search methods search all of the codes because
your component’s code may be listed under another brand 
in the code list. 

Note:

The Code Search method may take a long time because

the remote searches all of the codes in its memory for the
code which operates your component. Therefore, if your
brand is listed in the Code List, use the Direct Entry method
described on pages 5-8.
