component button you're trying to program stops fl ashing.

the component. If, after fi ve 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 until the all of the component
buttons on the remote fl ash 4 times in unison. If the component has not turned off by the time all the
component buttons on the remote control fl ash 4 times in unison, then the remote cannot control that

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.
2. To fi nish, press and hold STOP until the component button you're trying to program on the remote

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to operate your components.
To Operate the Component:
1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT•CABLE, AUDIO, AUX•HD) to set the
remote to control the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Notes: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of components.
If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You
must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want
to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
