PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
FOR TV CONTROL
The Scepter universal remote
control comes pre-programmed to
operate the set-top box that is
supplied by Cablevision. In
addition, Scepter can be
programmed to control basic
functions of TV POWER, VOLUME+/-,
and MUTE on a TV.

2. Press and hold SEL and MUTE
simultaneously until the iO key
blinks twice.
3. Using the list of "Setup Codes
for Televisions" on the back of
this sheet, find the brand
name for the TV that you wish
to control. Enter the first five-
digit code for your brand of
TV. If performed correctly, the
iO key blinks twice.
NOTE:
If the iO key emits one long
blink, the entry is invalid. Repeat
steps 2 through 3 and try entering
the same code again.
4. Aim the remote control at the
TV and press MUTE to see if
the TV responds. If the TV
responds to MUTE, try
VOLUME +/- and TV POWER to
ensure all functions work as
expected. If the TV does not
respond to these keys, repeat
steps 2 through 3, trying each
code for your brand until you
find one that works. If it still
does not respond, try
"SEARCHING FOR A TV
