Getting Started - Overview Before you begin, please insert two AA batteries as labeled on the remote control. Control 6 different Devices X-Link™ Universal Remote Control controls up to six different devices. One of the device buttons is automatically set for the Xbox 360™.
Setting up the Remote for Xbox 360™ Your remote comes set from the factory to control the Xbox 360™. By default, the XBX button controls the Xbox 360™. If you do not have the Xbox 360™ you can program the remote to control something else when you select the XBX button.
Four-Digit Code Set-Up Method Step 1: Turn on the device you wish to program into your X- Link™ remote using the remote that came with that device. Step 2: Find the four-digit code numbers assigned to your brand of device from the list in the back of this manual. The codes are listed by device type and then by brand name.

as well. If the code is not valid, the device button will flash 4 times. Either way, the device button will turn off and you will exit setup mode. Step 5: Point X-Link™ towards your device and press the pow- er button.
Learning and Teaching Set-Up Method You can either start from a blank device and “learn” all the keys or you can start with a four-digit device code and customize it to meet your needs. Step 1: Line up X-Link™ with the remote you want to “learn” from, head to head about one to two inches apart on a solid surface.

Step 5: Press and hold the key on the other remote control you wish X-Link™ to learn. After about one second the device button will blink once to indicate successful learning or 4 times to indicate that it did not learn the key. Step 6: Repeat from step 4 until you have learned all of the keys you wish to teach.
• If you are having trouble, move away from any Plasma TV, avoid fluorescent lighting and direct sunlight. • Some original remotes require you to tap the button to learn rather than holding it during learning. • Learning only works on individual keys. Macros cannot be learned.
Step 4: Press keys you wish to forget until you are done. When you are done, you can either wait 10 seconds to time out or press another device button to exit. Note: If you had previously entered a four-digit device code, the forgotten keys will return to their original settings.
Forgetting all Devices Step 1: Enter factory-reset mode by holding down two device buttons for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds all of the device but- tons turn on to confirm you are in factory-reset mode. Step 2: Enter the code 9999 to erase the prior four-digit code and any learned keys for all devices.

regardless of what device you are using, when you change the volume, it is sent to the TV. This is called “punch through.” When you press any key on X-Link, the device button will light to show what device is receiving that command. For example, when you are watching a DVD and hit Pause, the DVD button will light.
Setting Sound Master The sound master can be set for any device that supports volume up and volume down. To change from the default TV as master to another device: Step 1: Enter setup mode by holding the device button you wish to make master down for 3 seconds.
Advanced Configuration If you wish to independently control the volume without us- ing punch through, punch through can be turned off (and back on) for any device. For example, if you have a surround sound system, you may wish to turn off punch through for the TV so you can still control it’s volume when the TV device button is selected.
Turning on Punch Through for a Device If you accidentally turned punch through off for a device, it is simple to re-enable it. Step 1: To turn punch through back on for a device, enter setup mode by holding the device button down for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds all of the device buttons will blink to confirm that you are in setup mode.
