5 Repeat step 4 until the correct code number is found.
Each time you press the CH+ button and then the POWER button,
a new code number will be transmitted.
Keep trying until your component operates by receiving the
transmitted signal from the Commander (e.g., the power turns off,
the CH+ function works, playback starts, etc.) Be patient as you do
this; it may take about 70 tries until the correct code number is
located.
6 When the correct code is found, press the ENT button to store the
code number in the Commander's memory.
7 Check that the Commander is operating the other functions of
your component by pressing the corresponding buttons on the
Commander. If they seem to be working properly, you're done
setting up the Commander.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 1 to 6 and
search for another code.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
"Troubleshooting."
