Setting by Searching for the Correct Code
If you've tried all the code numbers listed for your component and
you still cannot get the Commander to work (or if your component
was not listed), try the following.
1
Turn on the component you wish to set up using its power
switch.
2
Press the S (Set) button.
3
Press the button of the component that you want to set up.
4
Aim the Commander to your component, and press and release
the PROGR+ button. Then press and release the 1 button.
5
Repeat step 4 until the correct code number is found.
Each time you press the PROGR+ button and then the 1 button, a
new code number will be transmitted.
Keep trying until your component operates as follows:
• TV, VCR, DVD, or satellite tuner : the power turns off.
• TV without a power switch: the Channel + function works.
Be patient as you do this; it may take up to about 120 tries for a
TV, and about 60 tries for VCR, and about 70 tries for satellite
tuner, and about 20 tries for DVD, until the correct code number
is located.
6
When the correct code is found, press the t button.
7
Turn on the component again, and check that the Commander
can control the other functions of your component such as
channel and volume control.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 2 to 6 and
search for another code.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
"Troubleshooting".
Note
Be sure to proceed to each next step in the above procedure within 10 seconds;
otherwise setting mode will be canceled.
