Finding a Setup Code

Setup codes for TVs and VCRs are listed by brand in Appendix B, "TV and VCR Setup Codes".
If the setup code for the subscriber's brand of TV or VCR is not listed, or if their TV or VCR does
not respond to the setup codes listed for its brand, you can search for the setup code using the
remote control's Step and Set function.
To search for a setup code:
1
Press the mode button for the device (either TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2) for six seconds.
The mode buttons turn on and off one at a time. This sequence repeats two times and then
the selected mode button remains on. This indicates the remote is ready to use the Step and
Set function.
2
Press the Cursor Up
If no setup code is currently programmed for the selected mode, the search begins with the
most popular setup code for the selected device. If a setup code has been previously
programmed, the search begins with the next setup code for that device.
