Using the Remote Control
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate one of the
components connected to your TV, such as a DVD player, do the following:
1. Turn on the component (in this example, a DVD player).
2. Point the remote at the component.
3. Press the corresponding component button (in this example, DVD).
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the DVD player responds. If the DVD player doesn’t respond, you
need to program the remote to operate it.
Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control to operate other components: Automatic
Code Search and Direct Entry .
Using Automatic Code Search
Note: The AUX button can only search VCR codes, but can be used for a non-VCR device
by programming it with direct entry method.
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your
components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your
components, press and hold CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (AUX or DVD). While holding
the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on,
then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component.
4. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the indicator stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the
component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to
search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched
through all of the codes. The indicator turns off when all codes have been searched and
remote exits Automatic Code Search.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns
back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the component button on the remote turns off.
