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 two methods you can use to program your
remote control to operate your components: Direct
Code Entry and Manual Code Search and Entry . Most
components can be programmed in one of these ways .
Try them in the order listed .
In order to control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units,
you must program both the TV key and the VCR or
DVD key . Once programmed successfully, the TV key
controls the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR or
DVD key controls the VCR or DVD functions . 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 or DVD keys . If this is
unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods
for both the TV and the VCR or DVD keys .
