Additional Programming Information
1. The power / mode buttons will illuminate in slow-rotation
(i.e. CABLE Æ TV Æ VCR Æ DVD Æ AUDIO Æ
CABLE…) while the remote is in a programming mode. In
the absence of a keypress entry, the power / mode buttons
will stop illuminating after 45-seconds and the remote will
exit the programming mode.
2. When programming the remote control using the [CH▲] or
[CH ▼] buttons (Power function) in the Point and Press®
Programming method, you may find a code that turns a
device off but not back on. If this happens…
a. The correct code has not been found as you may have
a code that operates some but not all of the functions
of your device. Continue pressing [CH▲] until your
device turns on.
OR
b. You may have gone past the correct matching code.
Try pressing [CH▼] one press at a time until you find
a code that turns your device back on.
3. When using the Point and Press® Programming method,
you can also program your remote using buttons other
than the [CH▲] or [CH ▼] as described in Section 5 as
follows:
a. [VOL▲] – to “go forward” through the codes using the
“VOL▲” function on your devices.
b. [VOL▼] – to “go back” through the codes using the
“VOL▼“ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the volume of
the device being programmed will increase or
decrease.
c. [▲] - to “go forward” through the codes using
the
“Ch ▲” function on your devices.
d. [▼] - to “go back” through the codes using the
“Ch
▼“ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the channel of
the device being programmed will increase or
decrease.
e. [►] - to “go forward” through the codes using the
“Fast Forward” function on your devices.
f. [▲] - to “go back” through the codes using the
“Rewind” function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the fast-
forward or rewind function of the device being
programmed will be performed. To simplify
programming using these buttons, insert a VHS tape
or DVD in the device being programmed.
You can also program your remote using the other
available functions as follows:
a. Press [SELECT] then [MUTE] together until the
power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e.
CABLE Æ TV Æ VCR ÆDVD Æ AUDIO Æ
CABLE…).
b. In this order, carefully press [0], [0], [0], [CH▲] and
[VOL ▲]. The power / mode buttons illuminate in
slow-rotation (i.e. CABLE Æ TV Æ VCR Æ DVD Æ
AUDIO Æ CABLE…).
c. You can now program your remote using the
[CH ▲/▼], [Vol ▲/▼],[FFWD], [REW], [PLAY],
[STOP], [REC], [PAUSE], [LAST], [FAV], [0] - [9]
buttons. When you find the correct code, the function
associated with the selected button will be performed.

back of its case.
a. Point and Press® Programming - This will help you
quickly program the remote without using codes.
b. Mode-Lock™ - Your model RT-U50 comes “locked” in
