The Pre-Programmed 3-Digit Code Method
The Auto-Search Method
The Pre-Programmed 3-Digit Code Method allows you to setup all the buttons for a device by entering 3-digit code numbers that correspond to a particular Component's manufacturer/brand.
The Auto-Search Method scans through all the codes in the remote control in order to find the correct code for your device.
IMPORTANT SETUP NOTE!
In this section when you are instructed to press a [DEVICE] button, that means to press either the CBL, TV, VCR, DVD or AUX button, depending on what device you are programming the remote to operate.
When you are in setup mode, the Device LED will light for 30 seconds. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, the LED light will turn off and exit setup mode. You will need to start the programming process over if this occurs.
STEP 2 Press the [DEVICE] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for three seconds. The corresponding device LED will turn on indicating that the remote is in the programming mode. The LED will remain on for 30 seconds and the next step must be entered while the LED is on.
STEP 3 Point the remote control toward the equipment and enter the three-digit code number assigned to your brand device (codes can be found in the code tables in the user guide or online). If there are more than one three-digit number listed for your brand, try one code number at a time until your equipment turns off.
Note: When the equipment turns off you can verify that you have selected the correct code by pressing the [POWER] button. The equipment should turn back on. Then try all of the functions on the remote control (i.e. volume, mute, etc.) to ensure you have the correct code. If any of the functions do not operate as they should, repeat the instructions from STEP 3 above using the next three digit code number from the brand list.
STEP 4 Store the three-digit code by pressing the same [DEVICE] button once again. The device LED will blink twice to confirm that the code has been stored.
STEP 1 Turn on the equipment that you want the remote control to operate (Cable Box, TV, VCR, DVD, etc.).
STEP 2 Press the [DEVICE] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for three seconds. The corresponding device LED will turn on indicating that the remote is in the programming mode. The LED will remain on for 30 seconds and the next step must be entered while the LED is on.
STEP 3 Press the [CH+] or [CH-] button one at a time or keep it pressed. The remote will emit a series of Power ON/OFF commands. Release the [CH+] or [CH-] button as soon as the equipment turns off.
Note: When the equipment turns off you can verify that you have selected the correct code by pressing the [POWER] button. The equipment should turn back on. Then try all of the functions on the remote control (i.e. volume, mute, etc.) to ensure you have the correct code. If any of the functions do not operate as they should, turn the device back on and repeat the instructions from STEP 3 to continue the Auto Search Method
STEP 4 Store the three-digit code by pressing the same [DEVICE] button once again. The device LED will blink twice to confirm that the code has been stored.
STEP 1 Press the [DEVICE] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for three seconds.
STEP 2 Press the [INFO] button. The Device LED will blink a number of times indicating the number for each digit for the code. Each digit is separated by a one second interval of the LED being off.
Example: One blink, (pause) three blinks, (pause) eight blinks indicates code number 138.
Note: Ten blinks indicates the number 0.
STEP 1 Turn on the 5th device you want to program (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.).

Note: To program a second TV press TV, etc.
STEP 4 When the equipment turns off verify that you have selected the correct code by pressing the [POWER] button. The equipment should turn back on. Then try all of the functions on the remote control (i.e. volume, mute, etc.) to ensure you have the correct code. If any of the functions do not operate as they should, enter the next 3-digit code number from the code list.
STEP 5 Once you have found the correct 3-digit code, save it by pressing the [AUX] button one more time. The [AUX] LED light will blink twice to confirm the code was stored."
