4 Programming the Remote Control

Note: In this section, when instructed to press a [DEVICE] button, press the appropriate button for the device you are programming (CBL, TV, or DVD).

A. Manual Programming

The remote control can be programmed by entering a three-digit code number corresponding to particular brands and models of equipment. These code numbers are listed in the code tables sections of this instruction manual.

1. Turn on the equipment that you want the remote control to operate (Cable Box, TV, and DVD/VCR).
2. Press the [DEVICE] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for three seconds. The corresponding device LED will turn on, indicating it is ready for programming. The LED will remain on for 20 seconds.
3. Point the remote control toward the equipment and enter the three-digit code number assigned to your brand from the code tables. If multiple codes are listed for your brand, try one code at a time until your equipment turns off.
4. Verification: You can verify the correct code by pressing the [MUTE] button. The equipment should turn on or off.
5. Store the three-digit code by pressing the same [DEVICE] button once again. The device LED will blink twice to confirm the code has been stored.
6. Troubleshooting: If any functions do not operate correctly, repeat steps 2-5 using the next three-digit code number from the same brand list.

B. Auto Search Method

If none of the three-digit code numbers assigned to your brand work, or if your brand is not listed, use the Auto Search Method:

1. Turn on the equipment you want the remote to operate (Cable Box, TV, VCR, or DVD).
2. Press the [DEVICE] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for three seconds. The device LED will turn on for 20 seconds.
3. Press the [CH+] or [CH-] button repeatedly or hold it down. The remote will emit a series of Power ON/OFF code signals. Release the button as soon as the equipment turns off.
4. Verification: You can verify the correct code by pressing the [MUTE] button. The equipment should turn On or Off.
5. Press the same [DEVICE] button to store the code. The Device LED will blink twice to confirm that the code has been stored.

C. To find the Three-Digit Code that Was Programmed using the Auto Search Method

1. Press the appropriate [DEVICE] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for three seconds. The device LED will turn on for 20 seconds.
2. Press the [INFO] button. The device LED will blink a number of times indicating the number of each digit for the code. Each digit is separated by a one-second interval of the LED being off. (Note: Ten blinks indicates the number 0. Example: One blink, then three blinks, then eight blinks indicates the code number 138.)

D. Programming a Second TV to the DVD Button

1. Press the [DVD] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The DVD LED will turn on for 20 seconds.
2. Press the [TV] button.
3. Point the remote control toward the TV and enter the three-digit code for your TV from the TV codes table.
4. Store the three-digit code by pressing the [DVD] button. The device LED will blink twice to confirm that the code has been stored.

E. Programming for Advanced Functions

In the CABLE device mode, the A, B, C, D and blank macro buttons can be programmed to act as a 'Macro' or Favorite Channel button. This allows programming up to five 2-digit channels, four 3-digit channels, or three 4-digit channels accessible with one button press.

Note: The A, B, C, and D buttons are not programmable if you have a Digital Cable Box made by Pace, Pioneer, or Scientific-Atlanta.

1. Press the [CBL] button to select the CBL mode.
2. Press the [MACRO] button and [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The [CBL] button will turn on for 20 seconds.
3. Enter the 2, 3, or 4-digit code for the channel you want programmed first (e.g., 007), using the Number Pad, then press the [STOP] button. Then, enter the code for the next channel (e.g., 050), then press the [STOP] button. Repeat this process for the third channel. The [CBL] button will blink once for each channel entered.
4. Press the [CH+] button to store the channels that were selected. The [CBL] button will blink twice to confirm the storage of commands.

To access programmed channels, press the [MACRO] button once for the first channel, again for the second, and so on.

To erase Macro programming and return to the original function:

1. Press the [CBL] button to select the CABLE mode.
2. Press a [MACRO] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The CBL device LED will turn on for 20 seconds.
3. Press the [CH+] button to erase the functions stored in the button. The CBL device LED will blink twice to confirm that the memory has been erased.

F. Assigning the Volume and Mute keys to a Different Device

By default, the VOL+, VOL-, and MUTE keys operate through your TV. If you want these keys to operate those functions on a different device, follow these steps:

2. Press the [VOL +] button. The device LED will blink.
3. Press the [DEVICE] button corresponding to the device you want the volume and mute buttons to control. The device LED will blink twice to confirm the programming. (Example: To control volume/mute with your Cable Box, press the [CBL] button in Step 3.)

2. Press the [VOL -] button. The device LED will blink.

H. Assigning the VCR/DVD-VOD keys to control your VCR or DVD

By default, the REW, Play, FF, Record, Stop, and Pause keys operate VOD (Video On Demand) through your Cable Box. If you want these keys to operate those functions on your DVD or VCR, press the PLAY button for 3 seconds until the DVD/VCR button lights. To return to Cable Box control, press the PLAY key again for 3 seconds until the CBL button lights.

J. Memory Lock System

This remote control is designed to retain programmed memory for 10 years, even after batteries are removed.

5 Set-up Code Tables

This section contains extensive lists of three-digit codes for programming the remote control to operate various brands and models of devices, including TVs, Cable TV converters, VCRs, and DVD players.

The tables are organized by device type (e.g., TV, Cable TV) and then by manufacturer (Brand Name), with corresponding 3-digit code numbers.

Example of TV Code Table structure:

Similar tables exist for DVD, VCR, and TV/VCR Combo devices, listing numerous brands and their associated setup codes.
