Chapter 2: Using the Remote Control
3. Point the remote at the component, press and release PLAY, then wait five seconds or until the LED stops flashing.
At this point the remote control is testing a set of 10 codes to operate the component. If, after five seconds, the component you
want to control does not turn off, press and release PLAY again to tell the remote to test the next set of codes.
Continue pressing and releasing PLAY (wait 5 seconds between presses, or until the LED stops blinking) until the component turns off
or the LED on the remote turns off. If the LED turns off, then all codes for that particular component have been tested once (press
PLAY to exit the Automatic Code Search). If the component does not turn off, then the remote can't be programmed to operate that
component.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• The HD TUNER button cannot be programmed.
• This remote may not be compatible with all models of all brands of components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that
came with your component.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.
2. To finish and save the change, press and hold STOP until the LED on the remote control turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list at the end of this section.
3. On your remote control, press and hold the component button (TV, AUX, DVD, VCR, or SAT•CABLE) you want to program.
4. While pressing the component button, enter a 4-digit code from the code list. If the LED flashes 4 times, then the code you've
entered is not the right kind of code for that button (see pages 15-17 to see which buttons can be programmed to control the
component you want).
5. Release the component button, point the remote at the component and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the
remote control commands. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF (or other buttons on the remote) again.
6. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote
control commands.

Operating Other Components

Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to operate your components.
To Operate the Component:
1. Press the component button (TV, VCR, DVD, HD TUNER, AUX, or SAT•CABLE) to set the remote to control the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component on or off.
3. Use the remote control buttons that apply to that component.
Note: Your remote's buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you're using another component's menu system. It
also may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

Modes of Operation

Because this universal remote can control several different components (DVD player, VCR, cable box, etc.) it uses operational modes
triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote control to operate the TV, press the TV button to put the
remote into TV mode. If you want the remote to operate the VCR, press the VCR button, and so on.
