In most cases, the keys on 

this remote perform the same 

functions as the keys on your 

original remotes once you’ve 

programmed this remote to 

operate your components. Many 

keys on this remote have other 

functions as well.

Illuminated POWER key serves 

as an indicator light to provide 

feedback.

The INPUT and — (dash) key has 

three functions: (1) it toggles 

through all the video or audio 

sources connected to your TV or 

audio device; (2) when the remote 

is in VCR mode, this button 

toggles between VCR and the TV 

input; (3) when you’re entering 

digital channel numbers directly, 

this button lets you separate the

1.

  Manually turn on the device you want to 

control. 

3.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program (the 

POWER key comes on). 

 

While you’re holding down the device key, use your other 

hand enter the first five-digit code for your brand in the code 

list (the POWER key goes off after the first digit).

2.

  Find the Code List that came with the 

remote. Locate the section for the type 

of device you’re trying to program, and 

find your brand in that section. Circle 

the codes for your brand and keep them 

handy. 

NOTES: 

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device key is 

programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality. If some 

features don’t work, try a different code in the list.
Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box provided 

in the Code Retrieval section of this manual. 
If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code Entry 

procedure, the POWER key blinks four times and the process is exited. 

The last programmed code under the device key is retained.

4.

  When you’ve finished entering the five-digit code, keep 

holding down the device key and look at the POWER key. 

 

Is the POWER key illuminated?

 YES: 

You’re done! You’ve programmed this device key.

 

NO, it blinked four times and turned off: You have either 

entered a code number that is not in the code lists or missed 

a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3 again.

Code Retrieval

Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices, 

you may want to record the codes for future reference. If you 

don’t remember the code you used, you will need to retrieve 

each device’s five-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and 

writing it down will save you time if you ever need to program 

the remote again. If the codes are recorded, you can simply re-

enter them to reprogram your remote to control your devices.

TIPS:

 All TV codes start with the number 1; all VCR and DVR codes 

start with the number 2; all DVD B RAY player codes, the number 3; 

all audio device codes, the number 4; and all satellite receiver, cable 

box, streaming player, and digital TV converters, the number 5.

To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the EXIT key.

If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval process, the 

remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid Code Retrieval 

key (TV, SATELLITE CABLE, DVD B RAY, AUDIO SOUNDBAR, AUX1, 

AUX2, INFO, EXIT), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The 

POWER key blinks four times, and then turns off.

1.  Press and hold the device key (TV, SATELLITE CABLE, DVD B 

RAY, AUDIO SOUNDBAR, AUX1 or AUX2) whose code you wish 

to retrieve. The POWER key illuminates. Keep pressing the 

device key.

2.  While holding the device key down, press and hold the INFO 

key. The POWER key illumination turns off. After holding 

down both keys for three seconds, it turns back on.

3.  Release both keys. The POWER key remains illuminated.
4.  Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each 

number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then 0. 

The number that causes the POWER key to blink is the first 

number of the code. As you find each number of the code, 

write it down for future reference. Then start with the number 

1 key again.

5.  Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in 

the code. After the fifth number is retrieved, the POWER key 

blinks briefly, then turns off.

IMPORTANT

Because this remote controls more than one device, you must first 

“tell” the remote which device you wish to operate. That means, if 

you wish to operate your TV, you must first press the TV key to put 

the remote in the TV Mode. The remote stays in that device mode 

until you press a different device key. For example, if your remote is 

in TV Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must press 

the DVD B RAY key to change device modes.

Problem: The remote does not operate your device.

•   Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing 

the corresponding device key (TV, 

SATELLITE CABLE

, DVD 

B RAY, AUDIO SOUNDBAR, AUX1/2, STREAM 1/2). This tells 

the remote which device to operate.

•   Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. 

Make sure you’re aiming the remote at the device’s IR 

sensor.

•   Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. 

Replace the batteries with two new CR2032 batteries, if 

necessary (see the Battery Installation section). 

Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate 

your device.

•   If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may 

be too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There 

must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the 

IR sensor on the device. Move closer and make sure you 

point the remote at the device you’re trying to control.

•   To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must 

program the individual corresponding device keys to control 

each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully, 

the TV key controls the TV functions, and the DVD B RAY or 

AUX2 key controls the DVD or VCR functions. 

•   Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.

Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands 

properly.

•   Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing 

the corresponding device key (TV, SATELLITE CABLE, DVD B 

RAY, AUDIO SOUNDBAR, AUX1/2, STREAM1/2). This tells the 

remote which device to operate.

•   Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has 

a disc loaded).

•   You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the 

remote is in.

•   If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try 

pressing the ENTER key after entering the channel number 

as this is a requirement of certain models and brands.

•   There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be 

able to control some of your device features (for example, 

only turns a device on and off). To confirm that the device 

key is programmed with the correct code for maximum 

functionality, test the device. Attempt to control a variety 

of the device’s functions with the remote. If some of the 

features of your devices don’t work, try programming the 

remote with a different code in the list until you find the 

code that allows the remote to control the majority of your 

device’s functions. Different codes can provide different 

levels of functionality.

Troubleshooting

Backlighting

Backlight illumination helps you see the remote control keys 

better in the dark. You can turn backlight illumination on or off 

by pressing the backlight key (  ). Backlighting stays on as long 

as keys are being pressed and turns off four seconds after the 

last keypress. 

Transport Key Punch-Through

Transport Key Punch Through allows the transport keys 

(REVERSE, PLAY, FORWARD, RECORD, STOP, and PAUSE), 

when pressed in TV, SAT, CABLE and AUDIO SOUNDBAR 

modes, to “punch through” to AUX2, AUX1 or DVD/CD mode, 

whichever was accessed last. Transport Key Punch-Through 

occurs automatically and allows you to use the transport keys 

without exiting the current mode. For example, if the transport 

keys were last used in DVD B RAY mode and accessed again 

after pressing the TV key, they will punch through to the DVD. 

The default Transport Key Punch Through is set to DVD B RAY 

for TV, SAT, CABLE and AUDIO SOUNDBAR.

Note:

 Transport Key Punch Through does not occur in cases where 

the component code has its own transport key data, such as a 

satellite receiver with a built-in DVR.

To turn advanced punch-through off:
1.   Press and hold the device key whose volume commands you 

no longer want to use advanced punch-through. The POWER 

key turns on.

2.   While holding down the device key, press and hold the VOL 

down key. The POWER key turns off.

3.   After holding down both keys for 3 seconds, the POWER key 

turns on and stays on. Release both keys.

Volume Punch-Through

Volume Punch-Through allows the VOL and MUTE keys, when 

pressed in 

SATELLITE CABLE

, DVD B RAY, AUX1 or AUX2 

modes, to “punch through” to either TV or AUDIO SOUNDBAR, 

whichever was accessed last. Volume Punch-Through occurs 

automatically and allows you to control the volume without 

exiting the current mode. (If the AUX1 or AUX2 key has been 

programmed with a TV or AUDIO SOUNDBAR code, volume can 

punch through to these devices as well.)

Note:

 Volume Punch-Through does not occur in cases where the 

component code has its own volume/mute controls, such as some 

satellite receivers.

Advanced Punch-Through

Volume punch-through as described above occurs 

automatically. Advanced punch-through lets you specify one 

device for all volume commands for a particular non-audio 

device (SATELLITE CABLE, DVD B RAY, AUX1, or AUX2). You can 

specify either the TV or AUDIO SOUNDBAR device (or an AUX 

key operating a TV or Audio device).
To turn advanced punch-through on:
1.   Press and hold the device key whose volume commands you 

want to send to the TV or audio device. The POWER key turns 

on.

2.   While holding down the device key, press and hold the VOL 

up key. The POWER key turns off.

3.   After holding down both keys for 3 seconds, the POWER key 

turns on and stays on. Release both keys.

4.   Press and release the device key you want the Volume 

Punch-Through to be directed to from the selected mode 

(TV, AUDIO SOUNDBAR or AUX key). The POWER key 

flashes.

Note:

 The device key pressed in step 4 must be programmed with a 

TV or AUDIO SOUNDBAR component. If an invalid key is pressed, the 

POWER key flashes four times, then turns off.

Channel Lock

Channel lock automatically sends channel commands, like the 

CH, GO BACK, and 0–9 number keys, to your satellite receiver, 

cable box, or digital TV converter when you’re in TV mode. This 

can save you keypresses if you use a device other than your TV 

to change channels. 

To turn channel lock on:

1.  Press and hold the device key for the device you use to 

change channels. While you’re holding down this device key, 

use your other hand to press and hold the remote’s CH up 

key at the same time.

2.  Wait until the remote’s POWER key comes on and stays on. 

Then release both keys.

3.  Press ENTER to lock channel commands to this device.
To turn channel lock off:

1.  Press and hold the TV key. While you’re holding down the TV 

key, use your other hand to press and hold the remote’s CH 

down key at the same time.

2.  Wait until the remote’s POWER key comes on and stays on. 

Then release both keys.

3.  Press ENTER to start changing channels with your TV.
