To Program a TV or AUX device

your device brand, then you can go to the next section to try the auto search procedures.

2. Turn on your device and with media inserted (if applicable).

3. On the remote control, press a device mode key for 5 seconds (i.e., “TV” or “AUX”). The device mode

key will light up.

NOTE: Use the “AUX” mode key to program control of VCR, DVD player, cable box, satellite set-top-

box and audio device.

4. Enter the four-digit device code for you device. If you perform this procedure correctly, the selected

device mode key backlight will blink twice.

NOTE: If you enter an invalid device code, the selected device mode key will fast blink 7 times. Device

program mode will be terminated.

5. Aim the remote control at your device and press the “POWER” once. The device should be turned off.

If it does not respond, repeat the above steps.

NOTE: In the programming mode if no key is received within 30s, the device mode key backlight will

blink rapidly for 7 times to indicate an error and then extinguish, and the programming mode will end.

rapidly for 7 times to indicate an error and then extinguish, and the programming mode will end.

Toggle Volume Key Punch-through Functionality

By default, Vol +/- and MUTE keys are sent to STB only when URC is in STB mode.

same time.

2. If user program device code for an AUX device, the punch through function will be configured for AUX

at the same time.

To disable the Punch-through function for those keys, do the following:

1. Press and Hold STB for 5 seconds, then STB led will switch on.

2. Press STB key once again, then both STB and AUX led will switch on.
