Finding a Component’s Set-up Code Number If you used the Auto-Search or Learning Methods to set up a component, you may not know the code number you programmed. Here is a way for you to identify what that code number is, so you can make a note in the back of this Manual for future reference.
Pre-Programmed Code Tables The URC-SR3 Pre-Programmed code library is classified by category (CBL/SAT, TV, DVS, etc.). Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more than one three digit code.
