1/13/08 12:18 PM Page 10 STEP 3: Release the component button to save the code. The component LED light will blink three times to confirm that the code has been stored. Repeat the above steps for other components. COMPONENT BUTTONS NUMBER Page 10...
1/13/08 12:18 PM Page 11 Three-Digit Code Entry Method STEP 1: Find the 3-digit code numbers assigned to your brand from the lists in the back of this manual. The codes are listed by component category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), then by brand name.
Page 12
1/13/08 12:18 PM Page 12 IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in programming mode. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, the component LED light will turn off. The remote will exit the programming mode and you will have to start over.
Page 13
1/13/08 12:18 PM Page 13 STEP 7: Once you’ve entered a correct code, you must save it. Press the component button you just programmed (in this case TV) one more time to save the code number. The component LED light will blink three times to confirm that the code was successfully stored.
1/13/08 12:18 PM Page 14 Auto-Search Method The Auto-Search Method is a way you can scan through all of the codes in the table to find the right code for your component. Manually or using your old remote, turn on the STEP 1: component you want to program—for example, to program your TV, turn on your TV set.
