							REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Programming The Remote
The Universal Remote Control can be programmed to operate many manufacturers’
components, using the component function buttons for CABLE, DBS, VCR, or DVD.  Follow the
procedures for programming your Remote Control with or without codes for the component.
Determine the manufacturer of the component and look in the table for the code. 
With A Code
• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.
• Turn the component off.
• Press the ACTION and POWER button, together, for at least 5 seconds.
• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control (VCR, DBS/CBL, or DVD).
• Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~
9 buttons).
• Press the Remote Control POWER button to test the component.  If the procedure was
successful, the component will turn on.
Without A Code
This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method”.
• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.
• Turn the component off.
• Press the ACTION and POWER button, together, for at least 5 seconds.
• Press appropriate component  button on the Remote Control.
•Press the   button to move forward to the next code.  Press the   button to move
backward.
• Press the Remote Control POWER button to test the component.  If the procedure was
successful, the component will turn on.
Note:Repeat the above steps until the component code is found.  It may take many
attempts before the correct code is found.
• After the code is found, press the ACTION button to store the code.
Helpful Hints:  Unsuccessful Code
If the component does not operate with the
Remote Control, repeat the procedure using
another code. (Some brands have multiple codes.)
If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure
takes longer than 30 seconds, the programming
will fail.
Write the code numbers from tables in this space.  This will serve as a 
reference if you need to program your Remote Control.
