table on page 9. For example if you have a Sony TV, type in [5][9].
If your brand is not listed, press [MUTE/ENTER] to search through all
TVs.
Hint: Searching by brand code for your
type of TV will reduce the time it takes to
find your particular TV. If your brand is not
listed, just search through all TVs.
The SurfBoard will say, "searching for TVs." If
sound is turned on it will say the 3 digit device
code for each TV code it tries before sending out
the power code. After each code is sent, it will
wait 4 seconds for you to respond before trying
the next code.
Step 3: When your TV turns off, press any front
button except [SHIFT] to save the code. Make
sure you check all the buttons on the
SurfBoard remote to make sure they work. If
they don't, repeat steps 1-3. The SurfBoard
will resume searching from the next code.
Setup the SurfBoard Remote for
your Cable or Satellite Box

the SurfBoard Remote to control your cable or satellite box. The
