Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes for the device
you're trying to control. When you find the one that operates your device, you
can stop the search and store that code.

the Reassigning the DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2 key section.
To control combo devices, like TV/DVDs and TV/VCRs, you need to program each
key separately. Each key will control that part of the combo device.
Tip: This remote is already programmed to operate many Samsung-branded TVs
If the original remote control that came with your device has separate ON and
and DVD players, RCA-branded VCRs, Tivo-branded DVRs, DIRECTV-branded
satellite, and Sony-branded audio receivers. Just press the corresponding key— OFF keys (instead of a single POWER key), the Auto Code Search might not work
with that device. Try the Direct Code Entry method described later in this manual.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto Code Search, press
the EXIT key.
Step 1: Install your batteries
Your universal remote requires three AAA alkaline batteries (not included).
To install the batteries:
1.
Remove the battery compartment cover.
2.
Insert the batteries, matching the (+) and (–) marks
inside the battery compartment.
3.
Push the battery cover back into place.
Battery Precautions:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or
dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.
Battery Saver
Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if
any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. This saves your battery life should
your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
between sofa cushions.
Step 2: Program your remote
To use this universal remote with your home entertainment system, first you need
to program it to control your devices. There are four ways you can program the
universal remote to operate your devices:
• The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes for the
device you're trying to control. It's the easiest method, but it can sometimes
take longer than some of the other programming methods.
• The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for select brands of
devices. It's not as easy as the auto code search, but it can be faster.
• The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying code
list for your brand of device. It's not as easy as the other methods, but it's
potentially the fastest method. Note: Direct Code Entry is usually the best
method to use for audio devices.
NOTES: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote

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. See the "Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality"
section below for more information.
During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren't part
of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key blinks four times and
the last programmed code under that device key is retained).
The POWER key blinks four times when the remote has gone through all the
codes. The remote exits the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn't turned off
yet, try a different search method.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the device's functions with the remote. If some device
features don't work, go to the next step to try a different code.
2. Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning. When your device
turns off, do not stop searching. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to
press the SLOW key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, press the SKIP BACK key on the remote every 2
seconds until your device turns off again. When your device turns off again,
press the OK key.
4. Test the key's functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the
device's functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of
the device's functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not
give maximum functionality, try another code.
Brand Code Search
The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of the select brands
listed in the accompanying code list. If your brand of device is listed, this search
can be very quick and easy.
