Try out other remote control keys to find out the

range of functions you can control. If you think

that not all of the keys are active, repeat the pro-

cedure of this programming method to find out

the code supporting a wider range of features.

Method D - Automatic code search

With this method, the remote control scrolls

through the full code list by sending an IR signal

to the set to be controlled remotely. Proceed as

follows:
1. Check that your equipment is on. If not,

switch it on manually.

2. Hold the

SETUP

key down until the key cor-

responding to the last selected mode blinks

and then remains lit (the indicator lamp

remains lit for several seconds in order to let

you continue with the following steps. The

blinking of the indicator indicates the end of

the available time, then it goes out).

3. Release the

SETUP

key.

4. Press the key corresponding to the type of

equipment (for example

5. Press the

PROG

. key once. After a few

seconds the remote control begins to list all

the codes included in the library (around 1

code per second). Press

PROG

a second

time to reduce the speed of the test (1 code

every 5 seconds).As soon as the device chan-

ges channel you must immediately press

to record the code and stop the listing. If you

don’t react quickly enough, simply return to

the previous code by pressing

PROG

(you

can restart the forward listing by pressing

PROG

.As soon as the device reacts again,

press

to record the code.

Method E – Programming for

control of a COMBO (combined TV-

VCR, TV/DVD, VCR/DVD, … set)

Depending on the COMBO group (TV/VCR,

VCR/DVD, etc.) and the make, you will be requi-

red to enter a single code for both devices in the

COMBO, or to enter two codes, one code per

device. Consult the separate list to discover this.

Before you start programming, you must find the

subcode or code of the subset to be controlled

(television or video recorder).

Refer to the list supplied with this user manual

(see page subcodes or codes).
1. Switch on the COMBO you want to control.
2. Hold the

SETUP

key down until the key cor-

responding to the last selected mode blinks

and then remains lit.

3. Press the key of the first device to control,

and then follow one of the programming

methods A, B, C or D previously described.

4. If a second code programming is required,then

repeat steps 2 and 3 above.

How to retrieve a programmed

code?

It may be useful to retrieve the code program-

med in the remote control.
1. Hold the

SETUP

key down until the key cor-

responding to the last selected mode blinks

and then remains lit.

2. Press the key that corresponds to the type of

equipment you want to control:

TV: television set - DVD: DVD player - VCR: video cas-

sette recorder - SAT: satellite / cable - AUDIO: Hifi

system.

3. Press the

SETUP

key briefly, so that the last

mode selected blinks once.

4. Press the numbered keys in ascending order

(0 to 9) until the selected mode blinks once.

5. The digit that makes the selected mode flash

is the first of the 4 digits in your code. Make

a note of it.

6. Repeat step 4 to find out the other numbers

of the code.

7. Once you have found the fourth digit, the

selected mode indicator goes off.

Check of the programming

• For a television or a satellite receiver: switch on and,

for example, press 2 to change channels.

• Video recorder: load a tape and then press

• DVD player: load a DVD and then press

Try other remote control keys to find out the range of

functions you can control. If you think that not all of the

keys are active, try the programming Method B or C.
When you have retrieved the code of your set, jot it down

so that you can use it whenever needed.

Programming a sequence

of commands (Macro)

The

MACRO

key in coordination with one of the

keys A, B, or C allows the programming and

memorisation of up to 3 command sequences (the

automatic and successive pressing of several keys

of your choice). Thus any sequence of key com-

mands can be reduced to merely 2 commands

(

MACRO

key

+ A, B, or C key). For example after

programming, by pressing

MACRO

then key A you

could turn on your television set, turn on your

satellite or cable receiver, zap to a preferred chan-

nel,turn on your video cassette recorder and start

a recording session (providing a cassette was pre-

viously loaded).You can memorise a sequence of

10 commands with each A, B, or C key.
