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.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of device—
the TV is preset to search for TVs,
SAT•CBL•STRM
receivers, digital TV converters,
streaming players,
boxes, DVD for DVD players, and DVR•AUX1 for DVRs,
AUDIO for audio receivers, and VCR•AUX2 for VCRs. To
program a device key for a different type of device, see the
Reassigning the DVR•AUX1 and VCR•AUX2 Keys 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.
If the original remote control that came with your device has
separate ON and OFF keys (instead of a single POWER key),
the Brand 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 Brand
Code Search, press the CLEAR key.
Note: To program for a DVD player, you must fi rst press and
hold the DVD key. While you're holding the DVD key, press
the number 3 key. Then release both keys.
1.
Manually turn on the device you
want to control.
2.
Find your device's brand in the
Brand Code list section of the
accompanying code list. Circle
the number for your brand and
keep the list handy.
3.
Press and hold the device key you want to program. While
you're holding down the device key, use your other hand to
press and hold the remote's POWER key at the same time.
4.
Wait until the remote's indicator
comes on and stays on. Then release
both keys.
5.
Look at the number you circled for
your device's brand code number.
Press that number on the remote
keypad.
Note: For single-digit brand codes, press the 0 key fi rst (for
example: 0, 5 for "5")
6.
Point the remote directly at the
front panel of the device you want
to control. Press
SKIP FWD
on the
remote and wait 2 seconds. The
remote is testing a single code for
your device's brand.
Did your device turn off?
YES: Press the
OK
key to store the code. You're done!
You've programmed this device key.
NO: Press
SKIP FWD
again. The remote tests the next
code for your brand.
Keep pressing
SKIP FWD
every 2 seconds until your
device turns off. When it does, press OK.
NOTES
Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep
the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are
currently programming the remote to control.
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device
for satellite
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum
or cable
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 Brand Code Search, the remote ignores
keypresses that aren't part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the indicator light
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed
code under that device key is retained).
The indicator light blinks four times and turns off when the
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the
Brand 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 Brand Code Search from the beginning. When
the device turns off for the fi rst time, don't press the
key, which would store the same code. Instead, with
the unit now off, continue to press the
repeatedly until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code
that operates the device. Press the
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.
Direct Code Entry
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.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of device—the
TV is preset for TVs,
SAT•CBL•STRM
digital TV converters,
streaming players,
for DVD players, and DVR•AUX1 for DVRs, AUDIO for audio
receivers, and VCR• AUX2 for VCRs. To program a device key for
a different type of device, see the Reassigning the DVR•AUX1
and VCR•AUX2 Keys 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.
1.
Manually turn on the device you
want to control.
2.
Find the Code List that came with
the remote. Locate the section for
the type of device you're trying to
program, and fi nd your brand in
that section. Circle the codes for
your brand and keep them handy.
3.
Press and hold the device key you want to program (the
indicator light comes on).
While you're holding down the device key, use your other
hand enter the fi rst fi ve-digit code for your brand in the
code list (the indicator light goes off after the fi rst digit).
4.
When you've fi nished entering
the
down the device key and look at
the indicator light.
Is the indicator light on?
OK
YES: You're done! You've
programmed this device key.
SKIP FWD

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.
NOTES
Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box
provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual.
If your brand isn't listed in the code list, use one of the Code
Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the
Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)
If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code
Entry procedure, the indicator light blinks four times, and
the process is exited. The last programmed code under the
device key is retained.
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.

or cable boxes, DVD
Manual Code Search
The Manual Code Search takes you one-by-one through all the
codes for the device you're trying to control. When you fi nd the
one that operates your device, you stop the search and store that
code.
TIPS: The Manual Code Search method may take a long time
because the remote searches through all of the codes in its
memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand Codes
or the Code Lists, fi rst try the Brand Code Search or the Direct
Code Entry method.
Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is
preset to search for TVs,
