Setup and Programming

1. Battery Installation

Before first use, install two AAA batteries (not included) into the remote control. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the battery compartment.

2. Device Programming (Direct Code Entry)

To program your remote using direct code entry, follow these steps:

5. Point the remote at the device and test its functions (e.g., Power, Volume, Channel).
6. If the device responds as expected, programming is complete. If not, repeat steps 2-5 with the next code listed for your brand until a working code is found.

Operating Instructions

Device Selection

To control a specific device, press the corresponding device button (TV, STR, AUD) at the top of the remote. The remote will then send commands to the selected device.

Primary Audio Control

2. Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, STR, AUD) for the device you wish to always control the volume.
3. Press and release the MUTE button, followed by the VOLUME UP button. The power button will blink twice and turn off, indicating successful setup.

• DVR Functions: Dedicated buttons for Play, Pause, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Record, and Skip.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the remote with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
