Program the Remote to 6 Control Your TV (OPTIONAL)

If you would like to program your remote to control your TV power, input and volume, there are three methods:

• Quick Set-Up Method
• Manual Code Search
• Automatic Code Search

The Quick Set-Up Method enables the easiest set-up by using one-digit codes for up to 20 major brands. Manual code entry requires you to find your TV brand in the included list of three-digit TV set-up codes. Automatic mode can take up to 15 minutes and requires you to press a button when your TV responds to the remote control.

Quick Set-Up Method

Step 1. Make sure that the DTA and TV are connected and powered on.

Step 2. Locate your TV brand in the Quick Set-Up Code Table and identify the corresponding "Button Press" and "Button Number" values.

Step 3. Press and hold simultaneously for 3 seconds both the TV & MENU or TV & GUIDE buttons, as specified by the "Button Press" value your TV brand is assigned to. The RED Power button light will turn on for 20 seconds confirming that you are in the programming mode.

Step 4. While the RED Power button light is on, point the remote at the TV and press the "Button Number" assigned to your TV brand (e.g. for Sharp TV, key 5). The TV should turn off, if it does not, press the same number key repeatedly until the TV turns off.

* Note: The remote will exit the programming mode automatically if it does not have matching codes and the RED Power button light will turn off.

Step 5. Once the TV has turned off, press the TV key once again to save the code. The remote is now ready to control your TV. If the matching code could not be found in step 4, use the Manual Code search or the Automatic Code Search method.
