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. 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.

whose code you wish to retrieve.
The indicator light turns on.
Keep pressing the device key.

key. The indicator light turns off. After
holding down both keys for three seconds, the light turns
back on.

Release both keys. The indicator light 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 indicator light 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. Then start with the
number 1 key again.
Note: All TV codes start with the number 1; all VCR and
DVR codes start with the number 2; all DVD players codes,
the number 3; all audio device codes, the number 4; and all
satellite receivers, cable boxes, streaming players, and digital
TV converters, the number 5.

Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all fi ve numbers in
the code. After the fi fth number is retrieved, the indicator
light 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, DVR•AUX1,
AUDIO, VCR•AUX2, INFO•OPTIONS, CLEAR), Code Retrieval
times out after 15 seconds. The indicator light 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, DVR•AUX1,
AUDIO, VCR•AUX2). 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 or VCR•AUX2 key
controls the DVD or VCR functions.
Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Problem: The remote doesn't perform commands properly.
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD, DVR•AUX1,
AUDIO, VCR•AUX2). This tells the remote which device to
operate.
Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has a
disc loaded).
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.
If you're trying to enter a channel number directly, try pressing
the ENTER key after entering the channel number as this is a
requirement of certain models and brands.
There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be
able to control some of your device features (for example, only
turns a device on and off). To confi rm that the device key is
programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality,
test the device. Attempt to control a variety of the device's
functions with the remote. If some of the features of your
devices don't work, try programming the remote with a different
code in the list using the Direct Code Entry Method, until you
fi nd the code that allows the remote to control the majority of
your device's functions. Different codes can provide different
levels of functionality.
Problem: The indicator light does not come on when you press
a key.
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is
in.
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the

corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD, DVR•AUX1,

(see the Battery Installation section).
Problem: The remote will not change channels on device.

Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make
sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the device.

Problem: The device's menu does not appear on the TV screen.
Make sure you have connected the device to your TV properly and
selected the correct input. (See your devices' Owner's Manuals for
proper connection procedures.)
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD, DVR•AUX1,

your original remote control to access menu functions for some
devices.
