Searching for Remote Control Codes
If you cannot find a code number from the Preprogrammed Remote
Control Codes section of this manual that matches your equipment, the
PT8051 remote can search its database for a suitable control code from
the codes programmed into the remote. The PT8051 remote control
will find the best possible component code for any audio source.
To search for codes follow these steps:
• Turn the device (TV, SAT/CAB, DVD, AUX, etc) that you wish to locate
the remote control code for to the on position.
• On the PT8051 remote press and hold the PROGRAM button while
pressing the device button you wish to search for (TV, SAT/CAB, DVD,
AUX, etc).
• The STATUS LED on the PT8051 will illuminate and remain on.
• Press and release the PROGRAM button again. The LED will flash to
indicate that the remote has entered the search mode.
• Aiming the PT8051 remote at the device you want to control
repeatedly and slowly press and release the POWER button. The
PT8051 will send a different POWER code to the device each time
the POWER button is pressed.

• Once the device you wish to control powers off, immediately stop
pressing the POWER button and press the device (TV, SAT/CAB, DVD,
AUX, etc) button again.
• The PT8051 should now be programmed to control your device.
• You can verify this by turning the device on, and entering other
applicable commands such as PLAY or STOP for a DVD player or
CHANNEL +/– for a SATELLITE TV box.
Note: While the POWER button was used for searching here, you can
use other commands such as the PLAY button for devices that do not
have a POWER button. In this case the PT8051 uses the PLAY button to
search. Simply use the PLAY button instead of the POWER button as
described below ensuring that the device you wish to control is ready
to enter the play mode and has a DVD or tape loaded, is on, etc.
