 2 Setup

Setup
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.)
• Manual Code Search: Manually goes through each code for your device one by
one at the touch of the G button.
n Note: Keep your remote pointed at the device that you want to program throughout setup.
Brand Code Setup
1. Power on the device that you want to control.
2. Find the code (or codes) for your device in the included Code List. If your device’s
brand is not listed, use the Auto Code Search or Manual Code Search method.

Setup

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. 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. Repeat for all possible codes until
the device light turns off.
5. Verify the setup by testing the remote control’s buttons and functions. If some of
your device’s functions do not respond to the remote, repeat step 4 with another
code.

n Notes:
• To use a different type of device than what is labeled on the device key, follow the
“Copying Device Codes” steps on page 11.
• If you want to quit during device setup, press the device key or wait 10 seconds for
the remote to exit setup automatically.
• If you are uncertain about your 3-digit code entry, follow “Check Current Brand Code”
on page 9 to confirm your code.

 Auto Code Search

Setup
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. When the device responds in any way (switches off, play, pause, volume change,
channel changes ), press any key other than SET within 2 seconds to confirm the
code. The device key will stop flashing.
4. Verify the setup by testing various keys and functions. Press G on your universal
remote to turn on the device if it turned off in step 3. If some of your device’s
functions do not respond to the remote, repeat steps 2-4.
nNotes:
• Because Auto Code Search requires you to stop the search, you must remain with the
device during the process.
• To stop searching, press any key (except SET). The device key light turns off and search
stops.

auto search mode.
3. Press G on the universal remote. The universal remote enters manual code search
mode and the device key flashes.
4. Press G repeatedly on your universal remote until the device turns off. (Each press
of the G key sends a different code to your device.)
When the device turns off, the code is correct. Press the flashing device key on your
universal remote within 10 seconds to confirm the code.
5. Press G on your universal remote to turn your device back on.
6. Verify the setup by testing various keys and functions. If some of your device’s

 Lock Volume and Mute
You can lock the volume and mute functions so they work only with one device. For
example, if you’ve locked the volume and mute functions to the TV device key on your
universal remote, you can only control TV volume, even if you are in AUX or VCR/DVD
modes.
To lock the volume and mute functions:

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. Repeat for all
possible codes until the device light turns off.
Operation

5. Test that the device (in our example, TV) responds to the new device key (in our
example, the AUX key). Each time you press a key to control the device, the
original device key flashes first, and then the newly assigned key flashes once and
turns off.
6. The remote automatically exits setup mode after 10 seconds. To exit manually,
press the newly programmed device key.
