Alternate Remote programming procedure for Red/Green/Blue
Channels: Auto-Scan
Important: Many devices that you might plug into Xtender do not respond well to a “power
command” – for instance a TiVo DVR does not really have an off switch. Before
you do a scan for IR codes using this method, you should use the remote that
came with you’re A/V device, press power and see what happens so you know
what you are looking for.
1. Turn on the TV and press the Red, Green, or Blue button corresponding to the
device you wish to program.
2. Press and hold Red (or Green or Blue) and Guide for at least two seconds –until
the power light on the remote stays on
3. Press the device type button corresponding to the type of device you are
programming:
 If programming a TV – Press the TV button – power light should stay lit
 If programming a DVD player – Press the DVD button – power light
should stay lit
 If programming a Cable Set Top Box – Press the CBL button – power
light should stay lit
 If programming a VCR – Press the VCR button – power light should
stay lit
4. Press and hold the Up Arrow button: the remote will scan through all the codes
transmitting a “power off” for each one. The indicator light will flash during the
scan. The full scan may take up to several minutes.
5. As soon as the device you are trying to program turns off, release the UP Arrow
button – note that you must do this quickly. Pressing the up and down arrows
momentarily steps through the code list – so you may want to press the down
arrow a few times and then go back forward through the codes by pressing the up
arrow until the device turns on again.
