REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
Programming The Remote Control
The Universal Remote Control can be programmed to
operate many manufacturers’ components, using the com-
ponent function buttons for VCR, DVD, CABLE or DBS.
Follow the procedures for programming your Remote
Control with or without a code for the component.
DeviceOperatesDefault
TV
 	
 
 	
 	
VCR  	
 	
DBS/CBL 
   
  	
  	
DVD  	
 	
Note:Determine the manufacturer of the component and look
in the table for the code (found on page 10).
Procedure
1. Confirm that the external component is plugged in and
operating.
2. Turn the component off.
3. Press 

 and POWER together, for at least 5 sec-
onds. After 5 seconds, the illuminated mode (compo-
nent) buttons will begin to flash. Release the ACTION
and POWER buttons.
4. Press appropriate component button on the Remote
Control VCR, DVD, CABLE or DBS. The component
button will illuminate steadily and all others will go out.
5. Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote
Control Numeric keypad (0-9). The component but-
ton will blink twice.
6. Press the Remote Control 
POWER to test the compo-
nent. If the procedure was successful, the component
will turn on and the component key will blink twice and
then go out.
Note:If the component does not operate with the Remote
Control, repeat steps 3 through 6 using another code
(some brands have multiple codes). If an incorrect code
is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than 30
seconds, the programming will fail.
Programming Without A Code
This procedure searches all codes and is called the “se-
quence method.”
1. Confirm that the external component is plugged in and
on.
2. Turn the component off.
3. Press 

 and POWER together, for at least 5 sec-
onds. After 5 seconds, the illuminated mode (compo-
nent) buttons will begin to flash. Release the ACTION
and POWER buttons.
4. Press the appropriate component button on the Re-
mote Control. The component button will illuminate
steadily and all others will go out.
5. Press the 
POWER button to set the remote control into
the step and set mode.
6. Point the remote control towards the component.7. Press VOL 
 (the mode key will blink three times),
then press the Remote Control POWER button to test the
component. Continue this process until the proper code
is found. If the procedure was successful, the compo-
nent will turn on.
Note:Each time you press the VOL  button, make sure
that
 the component key blinks twice before pressing
the POWER 
button.
8. Once the device responds, press 
 to store the
code. The mode (component) button will blink twice.
Note:It may take many attempts before the correct code is
found. If you miss a code, press 
 VOL, then press
the POWER button to test the component.
Component Codes
The Universal Remote Control is capable of operating
many component brands after entering a code. Some
components may not operate because the codes are not
available due to limited memory. The Universal Remote
Control does not control all features found in each model.
Write the code numbers from tables in this space.
This will serve as a reference if you need to program
your Remote Control.
