Step 7: After the PS3™ is done registering your remote, press the Link™ to go back to the control panel. Verify that the remote control is working. You can now play movies and control your PlayStation 3 with Blu-Link™.
Setting up the Remote for other devices It is recommended that you set up your TV first. Blu-Link™ can control five components in addition to the PlayStation Blu-Link™ has buttons labeled for TV, DVR, DVD/VCR, Cable/ Satellite, and Audio. While the buttons are labeled for these functions, that is for clarity only.

Step 6: Sometimes more than one code will control your device. Test the other buttons on the remote control. If functions aren’t working correctly, try the other device codes until you have selected the best code for your device.
Notes: Even if all buttons aren’t doing exactly what you want, Blu-Link™ can “learn” buttons from other remotes and can be customized as desired. Step 7: Repeat steps 1-6 for your other devices. Learning and Teaching Set-Up Method You can either start from a blank device and “learn” all the keys or you can start with a four-digit device code and customize it to meet your needs.

The device button will blink once to indicate it is ready to learn. Step 5: Press and hold the key on the other remote control you wish Blu-Link™ to learn. After about one second the device button will blink once to indicate successful learning or 4 times to indicate that it did not learn the key.

Troubleshooting: To achieve the best results during “learning” mode: • If you are having trouble, move away from any Plasma TV, avoid fluorescent lighting and direct sunlight. • Gradually vary the distance between the two remote con- trols. • Some original remotes require you to tap the button to learn rather than holding it during learning.
Forgetting Learned Keys Step 1: Enter setup mode by holding the device button down for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds all of the device buttons will blink to confirm that you are in setup mode. Step 2: Enter “forget” mode by pressing the Stop device button will blink once to indicate it is ready to forget the keys it learned.
Forgetting a Device Step 1: Enter setup mode by holding the device button down for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds all of the device buttons will blink to confirm that you are in setup mode. Step 2: Enter the code 9999 to erase the prior four-digit code and any learned keys for the device.
Controlling Volume (Punch Through) In a fairly typical setup with a TV, PS3™ and Cable box, there is only one device that controls the sound. It would be difficult to switch devices between Cable and TV every time you want to change the volume.
Volume Punch Through is completely customizable. For ex- ample, if you have a surround sound system, you may want vol- ume commands to be sent there instead of the TV. To do this, you would set the surround sound system as the sound master. Setting Sound Master The sound master can be set for any device that supports volume up and volume down.
Step 2: Press the Mute key and this device will now be the sound master. Future volume up, down, and mute opera- tions for devices with punch through on will now control this device. Advanced Configuration If you wish to independently control the volume without us- ing punch through, punch through can be turned off (and back on) for any device.
Step 2: Press the volume down (Vol -) key and that device will no longer punch through volume controls to the sound master Turning on Punch Through for a Device If you accidentally turned punch through off for a device, it is simple to re-enable it.
