Your universal remote can operate a TV, cable or satellite, VCR, DVD player, and external audio (AUX) device. Set up your universal remote in one of three ways: • Brand Code Setup: Directly enter the device code from the Code List. Try each code until you find one that works for your device. • Auto Code Search: Your universal remote automatically goes through all the device codes. (This method can take up to 60 minutes to search all the codes for the 4 devices.
Setup 3. On your universal remote, press and hold SET, and then press a device key (TV, VCR/DVD, SAT/CBL, AUX). The device key lights up and stays lit, indicating that the remote is in setup mode. Release both buttons. n Note: Do not hold down the keys for longer than 3 seconds or the remote enters auto search mode. 4. Enter the first 3-digit code for your device and brand. Pause briefly between each digit to make sure the remote receives all inputs.
Auto Code Search automatically sends device codes to the device that you want to control. 1. Power on the device that you want to control. For VCRs and DVD players, you must insert a tape or disc. 2. On your universal remote, press and hold SET, then press and hold a device key (TV, VCR/DVD, SAT/CBL, AUX). Continue to hold down both keys for more than 3 seconds. The device key flashes and the universal remote starts searching. Release both buttons. 3.
Setup Manual Code Search Manual Code Search sends codes to the device you want to control one by one at the touch of the G button. 1. Power on the device that you want to control. For VCRs and DVD players, you must insert a tape or disc. 2. On the universal remote, press and hold SET, then press a device key (TV, VCR/ DVD, SAT/CBL, AUX). The device key lights up and stays lit, indicating the remote is in setting mode. Release both buttons.
nNotes: • During a search, you can press SET to change search direction from forward to backward or vice versa. • If no keys are pressed in 10 seconds, search stops. Check Current Brand Code For future reference and to save time if you ever need to set up your remote again, retrieve and write down your device codes for each device key on your universal remote. Complete the following steps to check the code number for a specific device. The device key on your remote will flash to indicate the codes. 1.

To check the third digit, press and hold SET, and then press 3. The device key will flash repeatedly to indicate the third digit. Lock Device Lock the device code in your remote so it doesn’t get changed or deleted unintentionally. To lock in the code for your current device: 1. Press the device key that you want to lock on your universal remote. 2.
Lock Volume and Mute To unlock the volume and mute functions: Hold down SET, and then press 6. The device key blinks twice. Copying Device Codes Program a device key to work with a different type of device than the one labeled. For example, you can use the AUX key to control your TV. 1. Find the codes for the device you want to control in the included Code List. 2. On your universal remote, press and hold SET, and then press the device key you want to change (in our example, AUX).
Operation 3. Press the device key of the device you want to control (in our example, TV). This key lights and the device key from step 2 turns off. 4. Enter the new device’s 3-digit device code (in our example, the TV code). Pause briefly between each digit to make sure the remote receives all inputs. The device key flashes when input is received then turns off if you entered the right code. If the device key stays lit, enter the next code for your device and brand.
Additional Information Troubleshooting Problem Solution I press SET and the appropriate key at the same time, but the remote still doesn’t work. Press and hold SET, then press the appropriate key. The remote will not enter the desired mode if buttons are pressed in the wrong order. I have tried all the codes under my device’s brand. My universal remote still does not work. Use Manual Search or Auto Search to find the proper codes.
Additional Info Problem Solution I can’t get the remote to pair with my device. • TVs and other devices may power off differently. Make sure you know how yours powers off so you can press the appropriate key at the correct time. Otherwise, the remote will not pair with the device and you will have to try again. • Try all the 3 digital-device codes one by one under the same brand until all or most keys work properly.
