User’s Guide
By UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS
GETTING STARTED
The Contour remote control is intended to
be simple to set-up and to use. Just follow
the two steps below and the remote will be
ready for use in just a few short minutes.
STEP 1: INSTALL BATTERIES
Your Contour remote control requires 2
AA batteries (included).
Battery Use And Safety
•
Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended type.
•
Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
•
If you do not plan to use the remote
for an extended period, remove the
battery. It can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
WARNING:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
To Install Batteries:
1. Open the battery compartment
cover (located on the back of
the remote).
2.
Place the AA batteries in the
compartment and match the + and -
polarity symbols inside.
3.
Replace the cover.
NOTE:
When the battery voltage is low, the
TV
or
STB
key blinks 5 times after a
keypress.
STEP 2: PROGRAM FOR TV
CONTROL
The Contour remote control is pre-
programmed to control your set-top box
but it must be manually programmed in
order to control the TV power and volume.
Follow the instructions below to program
your remote for your TV.
1. Turn on the TV.
2.

TV brand that you wish to program.
The LED blinks once as each digit is
entered. If the code is valid, the LED
blinks twice.
NOTE:
If the LED does not blink twice,
repeat steps 2 to 4 and try entering the
code again.
5.
Aim the remote at the TV and press
MUTE
. The TV volume should mute.
If it does not, repeat steps 3–5, trying
each code for your brand until you
find one that works. If you cannot
find a code that works, see
“Searching for Your Code”.

after trying all codes listed for your brand,
or if your brand is not listed, try searching
for your code:

from its library to the TV, starting
with the most popular code first. If
the TV responds, go to step 7.
6.

and the remote will test the next
TV code. Continue to press

) all locked to your TV.
This section describes how to disable and
enable volume lock.

PROGRAMMING MACROS
Your Contour remote control includes the
ability to program the
A
,
B
,
C
, and
D
keys
with a Macro function. Each one can be
set up to perform a pre-programmed set
of sequential key presses with the press of
one key. A macro can be used to control a
home theater operation, to set a favorite
channel, or for other multiple functions
you would like to control with one key
press. Moreover, each
Macro Key
can hold
up to 15 key presses total.
You can program a macro that operates
regardless of what mode you are in, or one
that only operates when you are in a
specific mode.
NOTE:
Programming a new macro over an
existing one erases the original macro.
Programming a Macro
1. Press and hold
SETUP
until
either the
TV
or
STB
key blinks
twice, then release.
2.
Press
9 9 5
. The
TV
or
STB
key blinks
twice.
3.
Press the key you wish to assign a
macro on.
4.
Enter the series of commands you
want the macro to execute (up to 15
commands).
5.
Press and hold
SETUP
until either the
TV
or
STB
key blinks twice, then
release.
Now, when you press the preset macro key,
the remote sends the series of commands
you have entered, regardless of what mode
you are in. For example, you could
program a macro key to turn on both your
TV and cable box and select a particular
channel.
To clear the macro, repeat steps 1-5 above,
but do not enter a series of commands at
step 4.
