Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of
your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without
programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator light on the
remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR or DVD player)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR or DVD).
While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the
indicator light on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY (the indicator light
on the remote flashes).
The remote is searching for the correct code to program. When the indicator
stops flashing (after about 5 seconds), press PLAY again to tell the remote to
search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light on
the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all the codes for that
particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn
off, then the remote can't be programmed to operate that component.
Note: Each time you press PLAY, the remote sends about 10 sets of codes. Therefore, you
might have to press the PLAY button up to 20 times.
If the component you want to operate does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the
device turns back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in
this section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the
indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn't
programmable.
5. Release the component button.
6. Point the remote at the component. Press ON•OFF to see if the component
responds to the command. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and
then ON•OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your
brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the
automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn't find the code,
the remote is not compatible with your component.
