6. Press and release the ON·OFF
key repeatedly until your
component turns off. Each
time you press the ON·OFF
key, the LED indicator light
blinks, and the next code in
the list is sent. This process
continues until all of the codes
in the Code Lists have been
searched. If your component
turns off, you have found
the correct code. (If it cycles
through and the LED indicator
light blinks four times and
turns off, all codes have been
searched. The Manual Code
Search method is exited.)
LED
Tip: Because there
are so many codes,
you may have to
press the ON·OFF
key many times—
possibly up to 200
times.
7. Once you have found the
correct code, you must save
the new code by pressing and
releasing the STOP key. The
LED indicator light turns off.
You must press the STOP key
to save the code or the correct
code will not be stored!

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
To confirm that the component key is programmed with the
correct code for maximum functionality, it is necessary to test
the component. If some of the features of your component
do not work, different codes in the list can be tried 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. Follow these steps to test
for maximum functionality, if you have programmed your
remote using the Manual Code Search and Entry Method.
1. Once the code has been stored (see Manual Code Search
and Entry Method above), use the remote to attempt
to control a variety of the component’s functions. If the
code that has been stored controls the majority of the
component’s functions, programming is complete. If the
code stored does not give maximum functionality, you
will want to try another code.
2. In that case, repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry
Method from step 1. When the component turns off for
the first time, do not press the STOP key, which would
store the code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to
press the ON·OFF key repeatedly until the unit turns back
on. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another
code that operates the component. Press the STOP key.
3. Test the functionality again by attempting to control
a variety of the component’s functions. If the code
that has been stored controls the majority of the
component’s functions, programming is complete. If the
code stored does not give maximum functionality, you
will want to try another code.
4. Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from
step 1. Each time a code turns the component on or off,
you have found a code that operates the remote and
needs to be tested for maximum functionality. Continue
through the code lists, cycling through the codes you have
already tried, until you find one that offers maximum
functionality.
Using the Remote to Control
Your Components
Because this remote controls more than one component,
you must first “tell” the remote which component you
wish to operate. That means, if you wish to operate
your TV, you must first press the TV key to put the
remote in the TV Mode.
The remote stays in the chosen component mode (such
as TV Mode) until you change it. If your remote is
in TV Mode, you must change the mode in order to
operate your DVD, VCR, satellite receiver or cable box.
For example, if you are in VCR Mode, and you wish to
turn off your TV, you must press the TV key first before
pressing the ON·OFF key.
On-Screen Menus
Accessing and Selecting Menu Items
Today’s advanced components use on-screen menus
to help you navigate through all their features and
functions. While this remote cannot access every menu
system of every component model, it does offer some
menu functionality. To use a component’s on-screen
menu system, you first have to put the remote in Menu
Mode.
LED
1. Press the component key
whose menu you want to
access.
2. Press the MENU key. The
LED indicator light blinks,
indicating you are in the
Menu Mode.
3. Use the VOL+/- and/or
CH+/- keys to navigate
through the on-screen menu
system.
4. To make a selection from the
on-screen menu, press the
MENU or OK key to select
the highlighted item.
Tip: If the remote doesn’t
respond, check to see that the
LED indicator light is still
blinking. Remember: the LED
indicator light times out after
20 seconds. If this happens, just
press the MENU key again,
and then retry your selection.
8. Once you press the STOP key, the code is stored.
