Programming the Remote

Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands of
components. In order for your universal remote to control
your components, you need to program the remote with the
codes that match the components (See Code Lists enclosed).
These codes enable the remote to communicate with your
components. Each brand and each component has its own
"language," and, by programming the correct codes into your
remote, you tell the remote to "speak the same language"
as your components.
There are four methods you can use to program your remote
to operate your components: Brand Code Search and Entry,
Direct Code Entry, Manual Code Search and Entry, and Auto
Code Search and Entry. Most components can beprogrammed
in one of these four ways. Try them in the order listed.
In order to control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs,
you must program the individual corresponding component
keys to control each part of the combo unit. Once
programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV
functions on your unit, and the VCR•DVD key controls the
VCR or DVD functions, respectively. There is a specific
section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes in this
section should be tried first, using Direct Code Entry on the
TV and VCR•DVD keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the
normal programming methods for both the TV and the
VCR•DVD keys.

Programming Methods

Brand Code Search and Entry

If your brand is listed in the Brand Code List (See Code Lists
enclosed), you may be able to program your universal remote
by searching through only the Code Lists for that specific
manufacturer. Brand Code Search and Entry can be the quickest
method to program your remote, if your component (TV, VCR
and/or DVD, satellite receiver and/or cable box) is one of
those brands listed.
If your brand is not listed in the Brand Code List, use one of
the other programming methods: Direct Code Entry, Manual
Code Search and Entry or Auto Code Search and Entry.
Follow these instructions to program your remote using
the Brand Code Search and Entry method.
