Changing A Key's Device Type
Each device key is associated with a type of device—the
TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•STRM for satellite
receivers, digital TV converters or streaming media players,
or cable boxes, DVD•VCR for DVD players or VCRs, and
DVR•AUX for DVRs. To program these keys to control a
different kind of device, you have to reassign them fi rst.
Reassigning the DVD•VCR Key to Control a VCR
The DVD•VCR key defaults to control a DVD player. If you
want the DVD•VCR key to control a VCR, you must reassign
it.
1. Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The POWER key
turns on. Keep holding down the DVD•VCR key.
2. While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and
release the number 2 key on the keypad. The POWER
key turns off.
3. Release the DVD•VCR key. The POWER key blinks four
times and then turns off. The DVD•VCR key is now set to
control a VCR.
4. Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or
manual code search to program the DVD•VCR key for
your VCR.
Reassigning the DVR•AUX Key To Control Other
Devices
The DVR•AUX key defaults to control a DVR. If you want the
DVR•AUX key to control a different device (an additional
TV, DVD, satellite, digital TV converters or streaming media
players, or cable box, for example), you must reassign it.
1. Press and hold the DVR•AUX key. The POWER key
turns on.
2. While holding down the DVR•AUX key, press and release
the number key on the keypad for the device you wish to
control (see the chart below). The POWER key turns off.

3. Release the DVR•AUX key. The POWER key blinks four
times and then turns off. The DVR•AUX key is now set
to control the device type you selected.
4. Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or
manual code search to program the DVR•AUX key.

Code Retrieval

Once you've programmed the remote to control your
devices, you may want to record the codes for future
reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, this
is easy. Just fi nd the codes you entered and make a note
of them in the boxes below. If you used one of the Code
Search methods to program your remote or if you used the
Direct Entry method but don't remember the code, you will
need to retrieve each device's fi ve-digit code. Retrieving
the actual code and writing it down will save you time
if you ever need to program the remote again (e.g., if
programming is lost when you change the batteries). If the
codes are recorded, you can use the Direct Entry method
to reprogram your remote to control your devices, which is
quick and easy.
1.
press 1
press 2
press 3
press 5
Press and hold the device
key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM,
DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX) whose
code you wish to retrieve.
The POWER key turns on.
Keep pressing the device key.
2. While holding the device key down, press and hold
the INFO key. The POWER key turns off. After holding
down both keys for three seconds, the POWER key
turns back on.
3. Release both keys. The POWER key remains on.
4. Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each
number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9,
then 0. The number that causes the POWER key to
blink is the fi rst number of the code. As you fi nd each
number of the code, write it down for future reference.
Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR
and DVR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the
number 3; and all satellite receivers, digital TV converters
or streaming media players, and cable boxes, the number
5.
5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all fi ve numbers
in the code. After the fourth number is retrieved, the
POWER key blinks briefl y, then turns off.
TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press
the CLEAR key.
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Code
Retrieval process, the remote will not respond. If you do
not press a valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM,
DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX, INFO, CLEAR), Code Retrieval times
out after 15 seconds. The POWER key blinks four times,
and then turns off.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The remote does not operate your device.
• Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device.
Make sure you're aiming the remote at the device's IR
sensor.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if
necessary (see the Battery Installation section).
Problem: The remote can't be programmed to operate
your device.
• If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may
be too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There
must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR
sensor on the device. Move closer and make sure you point the
remote at the device you're trying to control.
• If you're using the Direct Entry programming method
to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not
functioning properly, try the auto, brand, or manual search
method.
• To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must
program the individual corresponding device keys to control
each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully,
the TV key controls the TV functions, and the DVD•VCR key
controls the VCR or DVD functions.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
