Code Search Methods

Manual Code Search

1. Manually turn on the component

you want the remote to operate.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH

key until the indicator light

illuminates. Then release the

CODE SEARCH key.

3. Press and release the component key

that corresponds to the component

you want the remote to operate (TV,

VCR or DBS•CABLE). The indicator

light blinks once and then remains lit.

Note: For DVD or AUX, Press

DVD•AUX, then the component key

corresponding to the component to be

stored under the AUX key. For DVD,

press DVD•AUX, then the VCR key.

For an auxiliary component, press

DVD•AUX, then the corresponding

component key (TV, VCR,

DBS•CABLE).

4. Aim the remote at the component and

press the ON•OFF key continuously

until the component turns off.

Important: Because there are so many

codes, you may have to press the

ON•OFF key many times—possibly

up to 200 times.

5. When the component turns off, press

the ENTER key to store the code.

6. Use Code Retrieval on the next

page to identify the code for your

component for future reference.

If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code List or

you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote

does not operate your component, use one of the Code Search

methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search.

Both Code Search methods search all of the codes because

your component’s code may be listed under another brand

in the code list.

Note: The Code Search method may take a long time because

the remote searches all of the codes in its memory for the

code which operates your component. Therefore, if your

brand is listed in the Code List, use the Direct Entry method

described on pages 5-8.

Auto Code Search

1. Manually turn on the component

you want the remote to operate.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH

key until the indicator light

illuminates. Then release the CODE

SEARCH key.

3. Press and release the component key

that corresponds to the component

you want the remote to operate (TV,

VCR, or DBS•CABLE). The indicator

light blinks once and then remains lit.

program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when

you change the batteries).

off, you must press the ENTER key

immediately so the remote stores

the correct code. If you don’t press

ENTER within 3 seconds, the remote

will send the next code in the list, and

you will have to start over from step 2.
