Programming your remote

Applies to:

Your universal remote can be programmed to control your TV, cable / satellite box, DVD / Blu-ray Disc™ player, game system and two additional auxiliary devices.

Programming your remote to control other devices:

Power on your source (i.e. TV or cable box)

Locate the code for your source’s brand in the Universal Remote Device Codes book (provided)

On the remote control, press and hold the appropriate SOURCE button (i.e. TV or CBL-SAT) until all six source buttons glow, then release. Only the appropriate source button will glow

Source button

On the number keypad, enter the code for your source’s brand

Note: If all six buttons blink three times, you entered an invalid code. Repeat steps 3 and 4

Press + on the volume button

Test the source for basic functions (i.e. channel up/down, menu and guide)

If your source responds to basic functions, press Exit to save your settings

If your source does not respond to basic functions, press + on the volume button to select another code and test again for basic functionality. Repeat steps 5 - 7 until you find a code that works

Programming your remote to power on/off your system, TV and cable/satellite box together:

Once you have programmed your remote to control your TV and cable/satellite device, you can set the power button on your remote to power on/off your system, TV and cable/satellite box simultaneously. To enable or disable this feature, follow these steps:

Power button

On your remote, press and hold the CBL/SAT and TV buttons simultaneously

Hold the buttons for ten seconds until both buttons flash three times to confirm the change

Note: if a device's on/off commands become out-of-sync, press the remote's SOURCE button for the device that is out-of-sync (i.e. CBL/SAT) and then press the source power button to re-sync it.
