5 2 Setup Your universal remote can operate a TV, VCR, DVD, cable or satellite. Set up your universal remote in one of three ways: Brand Code Setup: Directly enter the device code from the Code List. Try each code until you find one that works for your device. Auto Code Search: Your universal remote automatically goes through all the device codes. (This method can take up to 45 minutes to search all the codes for the 3 devices.) Manual Code Search: Manually goes through each code for your device one by one at the touch of the G button. n Note: Keep your remote pointed at the device that you want to program throughout setup. Brand Code Setup 1. Power on the device that you want to control. 2. Find the code (or codes) for your device in the included Code List. If your device s brand is not listed, use the Auto Code Search or Manual Code Search method. 3. On your universal remote, press and hold SET, and then press a device key (TV, VCR/DVD or STB/CBL). 5

6 The red LED lights and stays lit, indicating that the remote is in setup mode. Release both buttons. n Note: Do not hold down the keys for longer than three seconds or the remote enters auto search mode. 4. Enter the first 3-digit code for your device and brand. Pause briefly between each digit to make sure the remote receives all inputs. The red LED flashes when input is received, then turns off if you entered the right code. If the red LED stays lit, enter the next code for your device and brand. Repeat for all possible codes until the red LED turns off. 5. Verify the setup by testing the remote control s buttons and functions. If some of your device s functions do not respond to the remote, repeat steps 3-5 with another code. nnotes: If you want to quit during device setup, press the device key or wait 10 seconds for the remote to exit setup automatically. If you are uncertain about your 3-digit code entry, follow Check Current Brand Code on page 9 to confirm your code. If you ve tried all the codes for your device in the Code List and your universal remote still does not work, follow steps for Auto Code Search or Manual Code Search. 6

7 Auto Code Search Auto Code Search automatically sends device codes to the device that you want to control. 1. Power on the device that you want to control. For VCRs and DVD players, you must insert a tape or disc. 2. On your universal remote, press and hold SET, then press and hold a device key (TV, VCR/DVD or STB/ CBL). Continue to hold down both keys for more than three seconds. The red LED flashes and the universal remote starts searching. Release both buttons. 3. When the device responds in any way (switches off, play, pause, volume change, channel changes), press any key other than SET within two seconds to confirm the code. The red LED will stop flashing. 4. Verify the setup by testing various keys and functions. Press G on your universal remote to turn on the device if it turned off in step 3. If some of your device s functions do not respond to the remote, repeat steps 2-4. nnotes: Because Auto Code Search requires you to stop the search, you must remain with the device during the process. To stop searching, press any key (except SET). The red LED light turns off and the search stops. During a search, you can press SET to change search direction from forward to backward or vice versa. 7

8 Manual Code Search Manual Code Search sends codes to the device you want to control one by one at the touch of the G button. 1. Power on the device that you want to control. For VCRs and DVD players, you must insert a tape or disc. 2. On the universal remote, press and hold SET, then press a device key (TV, VCR/DVD or STB/CBL). The red LED lights up and stays lit, indicating the remote is in setting mode. Release both buttons. n Note: Do not hold down the keys for longer than three seconds or the remote enters auto search mode. 3. Press G on the universal remote. The universal remote enters manual code search mode and the red LED flashes. 4. Press G repeatedly on your universal remote until the device turns off. (Each press of the G key sends a different code to your device.) When the device turns off, the code is correct. Press the device key on your universal remote within 10 seconds to confirm the code. 5. Press G on your universal remote to turn your device back on. 8

9 6. Verify the setup by testing various keys and functions. If some of your device s functions do not respond to the remote, repeat steps 2-6. nnotes: During a search, you can press SET to change search direction from forward to backward or vice versa. If no keys are pressed in 10 seconds, search stops. Operation Check Current Brand Code For future reference and to save time if you ever need to set up your remote again, retrieve and write down your device codes for each device key on your universal remote. Complete the following steps to check the code number for a specific device. The red LED on your universal remote will flash to indicate the codes. 1. Press the device key on your universal remote. 2. To check the first digit, press and hold SET, then press numerical key 1. The red LED will flash repeatedly to indicate the first digit. (once for 1, twice for 2, etc. If the red LED does not flash, this indicates that the first digit is 0. ) 3. To check the second digit, press and hold SET, then press 2. The red LED will flash repeatedly to indicate the second digit. 9

10 4. To check the third digit, press and hold SET, then press 3. The red LED will flash repeatedly to indicate the third digit. Lock Device Lock the device code in your remote so it doesn t get changed or deleted unintentionally. To lock in the code for your current device: 1. Press the device key that you want to lock on your universal remote. 2. Hold down SET, then press 7. The red LED blinks twice. The code for the current device is now locked and cannot be overwritten. 3. To unlock the current device key, press and hold SET, then press 8. The red LED blinks twice. n Note: The locked devices cannot be changed until you unlock the current device key or reset your remote. To unlock a code other than the current one, press that device key before following step 3. 10

11 Lock Volume and Mute You can lock the volume and mute functions so they work only with one device. For example, if you ve locked the volume and mute functions to the TV device key on your universal remote, you can only control TV volume, even if you are in STB/CBL or VCR/DVD modes. To lock the volume and mute functions: 1. Press the device key on your universal remote. 2. Hold down SET, then press 5. The red LED blinks twice. The volume and mute keys are now locked to the current device. To unlock the volume and mute functions: Hold down SET, then press 6. The red LED blinks twice. Reset Your Universal Remote To restore your remote to factory settings, press and hold down SET and then press 0 until the red LED blinks three times. Additional Information Battery Notes Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. 11

12 Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. If you do not plan to use the remote for more than one week, remove the battery. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts. Troubleshooting Problem I press SET and the appropriate key at the same time but the remote still doesn t work. I have tried all the codes under my device s brand, my universal remote still does not work. The red LED doesn t turn off after I enter the 3-digit code during Brand Code Setup. Solution Press and hold SET, then press the appropriate key. The remote will not enter the desired mode if buttons are pressed in the wrong order. Use Manual Search or Auto Search to find the proper codes. If the red LED turns off after entering the last digit of the code, the code number is valid (matches a code in the Code List). If the red LED blinks then stays lit after entering the last digit of the code, the code number is invalid (does not match a code in the Code List). Try the next code for your device. 12

13 Problem I can t get the remote to pair with my device The device recognized a code, but not all features work Solution TVs and other devices may power off differently. Make sure you know how yours powers off so you can press the appropriate key at the correct time. Otherwise, the remote will not pair with the device and you will have to try again. Try all the 3-digit device codes one by one under the same brand until all or most keys work properly. Write down all the code numbers that work with your device, then try each until you find the best code. After testing and confirming the first recognized code and the features do not work as expected, start the search again to find a more compatible code. When searching for a more compatible code, the device will power off/on each time it recognizes a code. Ignore unwanted codes by waiting for the device to power off/ on the second (or third, fourth, etc.) time, before pressing a button to confirm the code. Try all the 3-digit device codes one by one under the same brand until all or most keys work properly. Write down all the code numbers that work with your device, choose the best code as your set up code. 13
