Programming the Remote Control
5
There are two ways you can program your remote control:
* The Pre-P
rogramm
rogrammed 3-Digit Code Method
* The Auto-Search Method
The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to setup all the buttons at once by entering 3-digit
code numbers that correspond to a particular Component’s manufacturer/brand, so it’s the fastest
and easiest of the two methods. (Code Tables are on the backside of this Instruction Sheet.) The
Auto-Search Method scans through all the codes in the remote control, one at a time.
IMPORTANT SETUP NOTES:
This pertains to all programming steps. When you are in setup mode in each component, a
component LED will light up for 30 seconds. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, the LED
light will turn off and exit setup mode and you will need to start over.
When programming a combo unit, program as a VCR or DVD first.
A. Pre-Programmed 3-Digit Code Method
STEP1
Turn on the Component you want to program (TV, VCR, DVD or AUX) .
STEP2
Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV,
DVD or AUX) to be programmed and
[OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3
seconds. The Component LED will light
for 30 seconds indicating the unit is
ready to be programmed.
STEP3
Point the remote control toward the
Component and enter the 3-digit code
number assigned to your brand.
*Note :
If the 3-digit code number you just
entered is correct, the Component will
turn Off. If it did not turn Off, continue
entering code numbers listed for that
brand until the Component turns Off.
STEP4
After you’ve entered the correct code
number and the Component has turned
Off, press the [POWER] button to turn
the Component back On. Now it’s time
to test the VOLUME and MUTE buttons
for the TV (or PLAY and STOP buttons
for VCR and DVD) to make sure they all
work. If any of the functions do not
work as they should, repeat from STEP
3 using the next 3-digit code number
listed for that brand.
STEP5
Once you have found the correct 3-
digit code, save it by pressing the same
[COMPONENT] button one more time.
The Component LED light will blink
twice to confirm that the code was
successfully stored.
Now, program the rest of your Components by
repeating STEPS 1-5.
*Note :
If the Pre-Programmed Method did
not work, or if the Code Tables do not
list your Component brand, use the
Auto-Search Method as explained in
Section B.
B. Auto-Search Method
STEP1
Turn on the Component you want to
program (TV, VCR, DVD or AUX).
STEP2
Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV,
DVD or AUX) to be programmed and
[OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3
seconds. The Component LED will light
for 30 seconds indicating the unit is
ready to be programmed.
STEP3
Point the remote toward the
Component and press the [CH
] or
[CH
] button one step at a time or
keep it pressed. The remote will emit a
series of ON/OFF commands. Release
the [CH
] or [CH
] button as soon as
the Component turns Off.
STEP4
Test functions. (Same as for 3-Digit Code
Programming Method - Section A). If any
of the functions do not work as they
should, repeat from STEP 3 using [CH
]
or [CH
] buttons to find the correct code.
STEP5
Save the code. (Same as for 3-Digit Code
Programming Method - Section A).
Now, repeat the Auto-Search Method for those
Components you could not program earlier with
the Pre-Programmed Method.
C. Finding a Component Button’s
Setup Code Number
If you used the Auto-Search Method to program a
Component, you may not know what the correct code
number is. Here is a way for you to identify the code
number, so you can record it for future reference.
STEP1
Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV, DVD
or AUX) you want to verify and the [OK/SEL]
button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The
Component LED will light for 30 seconds.
STEP2
Press the [INFO] button and count the
number of times the Component LED light
blinks. This number indicates the first
digit of the code, followed by the second
and third, each separated by a one
second pause when the LED will turn off.
*Note :
10 blinks represents the number zero.
Example :
One blink, (pause), eight blinks,
(pause) and three blinks, indicates
code number 183.
D. AUX Function: Programming a 4
th
Component
You can take advantage of the AUX function to
program a 4
th
Component such as a second TV,
VCR, DVD or Audio Component.
STEP1
Turn on the 4
th
Component you want to
program (TV, VCR, DVD or Audio).
STEP2
Press the [AUX] button and the [OK/SEL]
button simultaneously for 3 seconds.The
[AUX] Component LED will light for 30
seconds.
STEP3
Press the [COMPONENT] button you want
to setup. Point the remote control toward
the Component and enter the 3-digit code
number assigned to your brand.
*Note :
If the 3-digit code number you just
entered is the correct number, the
Component will turn Off. If it did not turn
Off, continue entering code numbers
listed for that brand until the Component
turns Off
STEP4
Test functions. (Same as for 3-Digit Code
Programming Method - Section A). If
any of the functions do not work as they
should, you need to find a new code.
STEP5
Once you have found the correct 3-digit
code, save it by pressing the [AUX]
button one more time. The Component
LED light will blink twice to confirm the
code was stored. Now when you press
the AUX button, all the buttons will work
with that 4
th
Component.
E. Programming the System On/Off Button
This allows you to program the System On/Off
button so it can send up to four power On/Off
commands with one button press.
STEP1
Press the [CBL] button.
STEP2
Press the [SYSTEM ON/OFF] button and
the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3
seconds. The [CBL] Component LED will
light for 30 seconds.
STEP3
Press the first [COMPONENT] button you
want to store in the [SYSTEM ON/OFF]
button and then the [POWER] button.
Repeat this for other Components until
you have stored all the desired power
commands into the [SYSTEM ON/OFF]
button.
STEP4
Press the [CH+] button to save the power
commands you stored. The [CBL] button
will blink twice to confirm the commands
have been saved.
F. Programming Channel Control
You can program the channel controls (Channel Up,
Channel Down, Last and Numbers) from one
Component to operate in another Component mode.
Default channel control settings on the remote
control are as follows:
CBL
: CBL
T V
: CBL
DVD
: DVD
AUX
: AUX
If you wish to operate the TV channel control in TV
mode, use the following steps.
STEP1

button simultaneously for 3 seconds.
The [TV] Component LED will light for 30
seconds.
STEP2
Press the [VOL -] button.
STEP3
Press the [TV] button again.
The Component LED will blink twice to
confirm the programming.
