Setup

Your universal remote requires two (2) AAA batteries (not included). Alkaline batteries are recommended.

Battery Installation

On the back of the remote, pull down on the textured surface and slide the battery cover downward to remove.
Match the (+) and (-) marks on the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery compartment, then insert two (2) AAA batteries. Use fresh batteries.
Position the battery cover slightly below the opening and push upward to lock into place.

Note: If your remote stops operating properly, replace the batteries with new ones.

Battery Precautions

Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, etc.) batteries.
Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with local and national regulations.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically turns off if buttons are depressed for more than 8 seconds. This saves batteries if the remote gets stuck with buttons pressed (e.g., between sofa cushions).

Code Saver

You have up to 10 minutes to change batteries without losing programmed codes.

Programming Your Remote

This remote is designed to control multiple audio/video devices. You need to program it for your devices. There are two methods:

Direct Code Entry (Recommended): Simplest and quickest method.
Auto Code Search: Searches through all codes to find one for your device.

Note: This remote comes preprogrammed for Samsung TVs. Press the TV button for Samsung TVs.

Direct Code Entry

Locate the Code List. Find the section for your device type (e.g., TV, CBL, DVD, AUX). Find your device's brand and circle all corresponding remote codes.
Press and hold the SETUP button until the red light turns on. Release SETUP. The red light stays on. (The red light is usually at the top of the remote or on the power button).
Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, CBL, DVD, AUX) for the device you want to control. The red light will blink once and remain on.
Use the number buttons to enter the first 4-digit code you circled from the Code List. The red light turns off after the fourth digit.
Point the remote at the device and test buttons. If it doesn't work as expected, return to Step 2 and use the next circled code for that device.
Repeat Steps 1-5 for each device you wish to control.

Programming Notes:

Some codes may only operate a few functions. Try other codes from the list for more functionality.
If no code works or is listed for your device, use the Auto Code Search method.
For combo devices (e.g., TV/DVD), you may need to program separate codes for each part (e.g., one for TV, one for DVD).
Write down the codes used for future reference.

Auto Code Search

This process searches all stored codes to find one for your device. Read all steps before starting.

Manually turn on the device you wish to control. Note: This method cannot be used for devices without ON/OFF capability. Use Direct Code Entry instead.
Press and hold the SETUP button until the red light turns on. Release SETUP. The red light stays on.
Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, CBL, DVD, AUX). The red light blinks once and stays on.
Point the remote at the device and press and release the POWER button. The remote sends 10 different codes. The red light blinks once for each code and stays on.
Did the device turn off?
- If YES, proceed to Step 5.
- If NO, repeat Step 4 to test the next 10 codes.
Manually turn the device back on.
Point the remote at the device and press and release the VOL + button. The remote re-sends the first code from Step 4. The red light blinks once and stays on.
Did the device turn off?
- If YES, press and release the same device button used in Step 3 to store the code. Proceed to Step 7.
- If NO, continue pressing and releasing VOL + until the device turns off (wait ~3 seconds between presses). Once it turns off, press and release the same device button used in Step 3 to store the code. Proceed to Step 7.
Use the remote to turn the device back on. Test buttons. If they don't work correctly, return to Step 2 and repeat the process to find a better code.
Repeat this process for each device.

Notes:

The VOL - button can be used to go backward through batches of 10 codes.
The red light flashes twice after testing the first or last code in a batch of 10.

Controlling Combo Devices

For integrated devices (e.g., TV/VCR, TV/DVD), you may need to program two different device buttons to control both parts. For example, program one code under the TV button for the TV and a separate code under the DVD button for the DVD player.

Using Your Remote

Master Volume Feature

This feature lets you select a single device whose volume the volume buttons will always control, regardless of the remote's current mode (e.g., volume buttons control a soundbar while the remote is in TV mode).

Enabling the Master Volume Feature

Press and hold SETUP until the red light turns on. Release SETUP. The red light stays on.
Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, AUX) for the device you want to control volume.
Press and release the MUTE button.
Press and release the VOL + button. The red light blinks twice and turns off.

Disabling the Master Volume Feature

Press and hold SETUP until the red light turns on. Release SETUP. The red light stays on.
Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, AUX) programmed for Master Volume.
Press and release the MUTE button.
Press and release the VOL - button. The red light blinks twice and turns off.

Code Identification

This feature helps identify the code currently programmed for a device.

Press and hold SETUP until the red light turns on. Release SETUP. The red light stays on.
Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, CBL, DVD, AUX) for which you want to identify the code.
Press and release the ENTER button.
Press and release the #1 button. Count the number of times the red light flashes; this is the first digit of the code. Repeat this process by pressing #2, #3, and #4 buttons for the remaining digits.
Press and release the ENTER button to exit.

Reset to Factory Settings

Press and hold SETUP until the red light turns on. Release SETUP. The red light stays on.
Press and release the MUTE button.
Press and release the #0 button. The red indicator light will flash twice.
