Setting Up the URC-1625
Follow these instructions carefully before you start.
Direct Code Set Up
This method involves entering a specific code for your device.
- Find the code for your device in the Code list (pages 10-23). Codes are listed by device type and brand name, with the most popular code listed first. Ensure your device is switched on.
- Press the appropriate device key ([tv button] or [sat button]) on the URC-1625 for the device you wish to set up.
- Press and hold the [magic button] until the red LED underneath the selected device key ([tv button] or [sat button]) blinks twice.
- Enter your four-digit device code using the number keys. The red LED will blink twice.
- Aim the URC-1625 at your device and press the [POWER button]. If your device switches off, the URC-1625 is ready.
- Turn your device back on and test all remote functions. If they do not work correctly, repeat steps 1-5 with another code for your brand.
- If your device does not respond after trying all codes for your brand, or if your brand is not listed, use the Search Method described on page 6.
Important Notes:
- For Set Top Boxes other than standard BSkyB DigiBox, use the "sat" button in step 2.
- Televisions may not switch on with the [POWER button]. Try a number key or the [TEXT OFF button] to turn them on.
- Codes can be similar; if one doesn't work, try another from your brand's list.
- CBL and VAC codes can be set up using the "sat" mode.
- Always press the correct device key before operating your device.
Search Method
If direct code setup fails, the Search Method scans through all codes in the remote's memory to find a match.
- Switch on your television and aim the remote at it.
- Press the [tv button] on the URC-1625.
- Press and hold the [magic button] until the red LED underneath the [POWER button] blinks twice.
- Press 9 9 1. The red LED will blink twice.
- Press the [POWER button].
- Aim the remote at your television and repeatedly press the [CH+] button. The remote will send out power signals from its stored codes. This may take up to 150 presses. If you miss a code, use the [CH-] button to go back. Keep the remote pointed at the TV.
- When the television turns off, press the [magic button] to store the code.
Important Notes:
- For Set Top Boxes other than standard BSkyB DigiBox, use the "sat" button in step 2.
- Most televisions do not switch on with the [POWER button]. Try a number key or the [TEXT OFF button] to switch your TV back on.
- To search for other device types, follow the same steps but press the appropriate device key instead of [tv button] in step 2.
Code Blink Out
This feature allows you to retrieve the currently programmed setup code.
- Press the [tv button] once.
- Press and hold the [magic button] until the red LED underneath the [POWER button] blinks twice.
- Press 9 9 0. The red LED will blink twice.
- For each digit of the four-digit code, press the corresponding number key (1 for first digit, 2 for second, etc.) and count the red blinks. No blinks indicate '0'.
Quick Code Reference:
Device: sat _______________ Code: _______________
Device: tv _______________ Code: _______________
Volume Punch Through
This feature allows you to control TV volume using the remote without first selecting the "tv" mode, provided the remote is programmed for both devices.
To punch through to TV volume while in “sat” mode:
- Press and hold the [magic button] until the red LED underneath the [POWER button] blinks twice.
- Press 9 9 3.
- Then press the [tv button]. The red light will blink twice.
To cancel “Volume Punch Through”:
- Press and hold the [magic button] until the red LED underneath the [POWER button] blinks twice.

Code Lists Summary
The manual contains extensive code lists for various device brands across multiple categories including TV, SAT, CBL, and VAC. These lists are essential for setting up the remote control using the direct code setup method.
