Code Retrieval
Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your
components, you may want to record the codes for future
reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is
easy. Just find the codes you programmed in and make a note
of them in the boxes on this page. If you used one of the Code
Search methods to program your remote, you will need to
retrieve each component’s four-digit code. Retrieving the actual
code and writing it down will save you time if you ever need
to program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when
you change the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use
the Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control
your components, which is quick and easy.

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.
1. Make sure your components are turned on and your TV is
set to the component’s input. (Use the INPUT key to toggle
through video sources when in TV mode.)
2. Press the component key whose menu you want to access.
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 or 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.
VCR•dVd Code
VCR DVD
1. Press and hold the component key (TV,
VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) whose code you
wish to retrieve. The illuminated ON•OFF
key turns on.
2. While holding the component key
down, press and hold the INFO key. The
illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
3. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the
illuminated ON•OFF key turns back on.
4. Release both keys. The illuminated ON•OFF key remains on.
5. 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 illuminated ON•OFF key
to blink is the first number of the code. As you find each
number of the code, refer to the code boxes below and write
them down for future reference.
Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR codes
begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; and all satellite
receivers and cable boxes, the number 5.
6. Repeat step 5 until you have retrieved all four numbers in
the code.
7. After the fourth number is retrieved, the illuminated
ON•OFF key blinks briefly, then turns off.
8. To exit the Code Retrieval Mode, press and release the GO
BACK key at any time.
9. 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, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL, INFO, GO BACK),
Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The illuminated
ON•OFF key blinks four times, and then turns off.
3. Press the MENU key. The illuminated
ON•OFF key blinks, indicating you are in
the Menu Mode.
4. Use the VOL+/- and CH+/-keys to
navigate through the on-screen menu
system.
5. 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
illuminated ON•OFF key is still blinking. Note: it times
out after 20 seconds. If this happens, just press the MENU
key again, and then retry your selection.
Exiting Menu Mode
The remote automatically times out of Menu Mode after 20
seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that time, the
remote clears the displayed menu from the TV.
If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the
corresponding component key on the remote (TV, VCR•DVD,
SAT•CBL). The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
Sleep Timer
This feature automatically turns off your TV at a duration you
choose from 1 to 99 minutes. The Sleep Timer only works
if you have found a code that controls your TV. The timing
mechanism for the Sleep Timer is built into your universal
remote control. To program the Sleep Timer, follow these steps.
Programming the Sleep Timer
1. Press and release the TV key.
2. Press and hold the SLEEP key for three seconds.
The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on.
3. Release the SLEEP key.
4. Using the number keys, enter the desired time in minutes
(from 1-99 minutes). To set the timer to a number under 10
minutes, first press 0 and then the desired number (e.g., 05
for five minutes). The illuminated ON•OFF key blinks with
each keypress.
5. Once the second number is entered, the illuminated
ON•OFF key turns off.
Tip: Any keypress other than the number keys is ignored. If you don’t
enter the sleep time within 10 seconds after pressing the SLEEP key,
you must start over at step 1. The illuminated ON•OFF key blinks
four times and then turns off, indicating your attempt to program the
Sleep Timer has been unsuccessful.
6. The Sleep Timer is now set.
7. Leave remote aimed at the TV. Once the Sleep Timer is set,
you can continue to use the remote without affecting the
Sleep Timer. However, because the timing mechanism for
the Sleep Timer is built into the remote itself, the remote
must be in TV Mode and pointed at the TV to activate the
Sleep Timer.
Canceling the Sleep Timer
1. The Sleep Timer program will be canceled and reset to zero
by pressing and releasing the ON•OFF key.
