Programming Your
Remote Control
You can use both the same room IR remote control and the
RF remote control that came with your HD receiver to
control other components in your entertainment system as
long as they are in the same room as the remote control.
Programming the Remote
Control
There are two ways to program your remote control to match
your equipment: code scan and code entry. Code scan can
take some time, but it avoids having to refer to this manual to
program your remote control. Code entry saves some time
but you will need to look up the codes assigned to the
devices.
Programming Mode
Keep your remote control aimed at the device you want to
control during this process. The remote control will send out
the “power” command for the device being programmed.
While holding down the device key you are programming
(“TV” in this instance), press the “Mute” key for one full
second. Then release the keys. The device key should light
and stay lit. If it doesn’t, repeat the process. If it does, the
remote control is now in programming mode.
Then choose either the code scan or code entry method, as
described below.
Code Scan
Once you are in programming mode, repeatedly press
the
key to step through the codes, sending out the power
command. This could take some time since there could be
many codes for each type of device. When your device shuts
off, you have found the code. If you inadvertently go past a
code that responded, or realized that you may not have been
aiming the remote at the device, you can use the
key to
step backward through the codes. Press the key to
verify that you haven’t missed the code. In order to lock in
the code, press the device key again. The remote will remember the code until you reprogram it.
