Programming Methods
Direct Code Entry
To program your universal remote to control your
components using the Direct Code Entry Method,
follow the steps below.
1. Manually turn on the component you want the
remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or
cable box).
2. Locate the enclosed Code Lists. Find the list for
the component you wish to program. Find your
component’s brand. You will see a listing of four-
digit codes for each brand. If your brand isn’t listed,
use the Manual Code Search method to program the
remote control. (Refer to the Manual Code Search
method.)

3. Press and hold the
component key (TV, VCR,
DVD, SAT·CBL) you wish to
program. The LED indicator
light turns on and remains on.
If you release the component
key any time during the
Direct Code Entry procedure,
the LED indicator light blinks
four times, and the process is
exited.
4. While holding down the
component key, consult the
Code Lists for the four-digit
code that corresponds to your
component’s brand and use
the number keys (0-9) on the
keypad to enter it. While you
are pressing the numbers, the
LED indicator light turns off.
5. After the fourth number is
entered, the LED indicator
light turns on. At this time,
release the component key. If
the LED indicator light turns
off, you have entered a valid
code and have followed the
correct procedure for Direct
Code Entry.
If you enter a code number that is not in the Code
Lists or you do not follow all of the steps for Direct
Code Entry, the LED indicator light blinks four times
when the component key is released. This is an
indication that a programming error has occurred. In
that case, repeat the Direct Code Entry process from
step 3 and try the next code listed.
Tip: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to
keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component
you are currently programming the remote to control.
6. To confirm that the component
key is programmed with the
correct code for maximum
functionality, test the
component. Attempt to control
a variety of the component’s
functions with the remote. If
some of the features of your
components do not work, try
programming the remote with
a different code in the list until
you find the code that allows
the remote to control the
majority of your component’s
functions. Different codes can
provide different levels of
functionality.
Manual Code Search and Entry
If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code Lists,
or if you have tried all of the codes for your brand and
the remote does not operate your component, try the
Manual Code Search. This Code Search method cycles
through all of the codes in the Code Lists in the event that
your component’s code is listed under another brand.
The Manual Code Search method may take a long time
because the remote searches through all of the codes in
its memory for the code that operates your component.
Therefore, if your brand is listed in the Code Lists, first
try the Direct Code Entry method.
Tip: To exit without saving at any
point in the Manual Code Search,
press and release the GO BACK key.
1. Manually turn on the component you want the
remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or
cable box).
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Manual Code
Search, the remote does not respond and the LED indicator
light does not blink. If you do not press a valid Manual
Code Search key ( TV , VCR , DVD , SAT·CBL , ON·OFF ,
GO BACK ), the search times out after two minutes. When
the search times out, the LED indicator light blinks four
times and turns off. The last programmed code under that
component key is retained.

you are currently programming the remote to control.
