Using the Remote Control
Graphics contained within this publication are for representation only.
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.
While pressing the component button, enter the code from the remote control code list. If the
component button 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, VCR, etc.) 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.)
The Learning Feature
Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to control other
components you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all learned commands
for that component mode.
After you program the TV’s remote control to operate the other component, the TV’s remote provides most of
the operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the component’s original remote control
that your TV’s remote control doesn’t have. For example, your DVD remote control might have an ANGLE
button that enables you to change the angle of the picture, but your TV remote doesn’t have that button. The
learning feature enables you to record the functionality of a specific button from the original remote control
to one of the TV’s remote control buttons.
Note:
All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different component to that
mode.
