Setup: Programming the Remote

To control your devices, the remote must be programmed with the correct codes. You can program the remote using either Manual Code Entry or Auto Code Search.

  3. Press and release the device button you want to program (e.g., TV, DVD). The indicator light will blink once and then remain on.
  4. Enter the 4-digit code for your device's brand using the number buttons. After entering the last digit, the indicator light should turn off.
  5. Point the remote at your device and press the POWER button. If the device turns off, the remote is successfully programmed.
  6. If the device does not turn off, repeat steps 2-5 with the next code listed for your brand.

Method 2: Auto Code Search

This method automatically searches for the correct code for your device.

  1. Turn on the device you wish to control.
  2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the indicator light turns on.

  4. Point the remote at your device and repeatedly press the POWER button (approximately once per second) until your device turns off.
  5. Once the device turns off, immediately press the ENTER button to save the code. The indicator light will turn off.
  6. Test other functions (e.g., volume, channel) to ensure the remote controls your device correctly. If not, repeat the auto code search process.
