STOP PAUSE
1. Turn on the component you want to control (VCR, satellite receiver, etc.)
2. Press and hold the button you want to program. While holding the
component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the LED on the remote
control turns on, then release both buttons.
Note: The AUX button can only be programmed using direct code entry. See
"Using Direct Entry," later in this section, for details.
3. Point the remote at the component, press and release PLAY, then wait five
seconds or until the LED stops flashing.
At this point the remote control is searching for the correct code to program.
If, after five seconds, the component you want to control does not turn off,
press and release PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of
codes.
Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you
have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If
the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the
remote cannot control that particular component.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds. Repeat this step until the
component turns back on.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the LED on the remote control turns
off.
