Problem: The device’s menu does not appear on the TV screen.
CH and VOL keys have dual functions: they can act as
navigation keys in menu systems as well as channel and
volume controllers outside the menus. The CH keys also
provide skip forward and skip back control for DVD players and
DVRs that support this functionality.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of device—the
TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite
receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters (DTC), and
VCR•DVD for VCRs or DVD players.

Troubleshooting
•
•
•
Make sure you have connected the device to your TV properly and
selected the correct input. (See your devices’ Owner’s Manuals for
proper connection procedures.)
Throughout the programming of each key, keep the remote
pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are programming
the remote to control.
Code Retrieval
Problem: The remote does not operate your device.
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD). This
tells the remote which device to operate.
The ON•OFF key serves as an indicator light during
programming, giving you feedback at each stage of the process.
Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices,
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If
you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just
find the codes you entered and make a note of them in the
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to
program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method
but don’t remember the code, you will need to retrieve each
device’s five-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing
it down will save you time if you ever need to program the
remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you change
the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the
Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your
devices, which is quick and easy.
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different
code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality”
section below for more information.
•
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD). This
tells the remote which device to operate.
GO BACK exits remote programming; it also performs the
same functions as on your original remotes
The Manual Code Search method may take a long time because
the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory
one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the
Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code
Entry method.
Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. You may need to use
your original remote control to access menu functions for some
devices.
•
•
Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make
sure you’re aiming the remote at the device’s IR sensor.
The INPUT and — (dash) key has three functions: (1) it toggles
through all the video sources connected to your TV; (2) when
the remote is in VCR mode, this button toggles between VCR
and the TV input; (3) when you’re entering digital channel
numbers directly, this button lets you separate the main
channel number from the sub-channel number (such as 59.1)
During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores
keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries, if necessary
(see the Battery Installation section).
Consumer Help Line: 1-800-420-7968
To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Manual
Code Search, press the GO BACK key.
The search times out after two minutes (the ON•OFF key
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed
code under that device key is retained).
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate your
device.
1. Manually turn on the device you
The ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off when the
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the
Manual Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try
a different search method.
Care and Maintenance
• Keep the remote dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the remote only in normal temperature
environments.
• Handle the remote gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.
• Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
• Modifying or tampering with the remote’s internal devices can
cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.
want to control.
•
If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may be
too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There must be
an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on
the device. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at
the device you’re trying to control.
IMPORTANT
Because this remote controls more than one device, you
must first “tell” the remote which device you wish to
operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you
must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV
Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until you press
a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV
Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must
press the VCR•DVD key to change device modes.
ON•OFF key
1. Press and hold the device key
(TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD)
whose code you wish to retrieve.
The ON•OFF key turns on. Keep
pressing the device key.

go to step 3.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If
some features of your devices don’t work, go to the next
step to try a different code.
If you’re programming the VCR•DVD key, you need to
tell the remote which kind of device you want this key to
control, VCR or DVD.
To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must
program the individual corresponding device keys to control
each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully, the
TV key controls the TV functions, and the VCR•DVD key controls
the VCR or DVD functions.
2. Repeat the Manual Code Search from the beginning. When
the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP
key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the
unit now off, continue to press the ON•OFF key repeatedly
until the unit turns back on.
2. While holding the device key down, press and hold the
INFO key. The ON•OFF key turns off. After holding down
both keys for three seconds, the ON•OFF key turns back
on.
Press and hold the VCR•DVD key. While you’re holding
down the VCR•DVD key, use your other hand to press the
number key for the type of device you want to control with
this key: 2 for VCR, 3 for DVD.
Backlighting
•
Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Backlight illumination helps you see the remote control keys
better in the dark. You can turn backlight illumination on or off
by pressing the backlight key ( ). Backlighting stays on as
long as keys are being pressed and turns off six seconds after
the last keypress. Once the backlight time has timed out, any
keypress will reactivate it. If the backlight illumination is on,
and you press the backlight key, the backlight turns off.
3. Release both keys. The ON•OFF key remains on.
Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
3. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code
4. Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each
number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then

first number of the code. As you find each number of the
code, write it down for future reference.
that operates the device. Press the STOP key.
•
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD). This
tells the remote which device to operate.
4. Test the key’s functionality again by trying a variety of
functions. If the code controls the majority of the device’s
functions, programming is complete. If the code stored
does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

navigate through all their features and programming. While
this remote may not access every menu or guide system
of every device model, it does offer some menu and guide
functionality.
5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in
the code. After the fifth number is retrieved, the ON•OFF
key blinks briefly, then turns off.

•
There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be
able to control some of your device features (for example, only
turns a device on and off). To confirm that the device key is
programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality,
test the device. Attempt to control a variety of the device’s
functions with the remote. If some of the features of your
devices don’t work, try programming the remote with a different
code in the list using the Direct Code Entry Method, until you
find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of
your device’s functions. Different codes can provide different
levels of functionality.
In most cases, the keys on
this remote perform the same
functions as the keys on your
original remotes once you’ve
programmed this remote to
operate your components.
Many keys on this remote
have other functions as well.
3. Press and hold the device key you want to program. While
you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand to
press and hold the remote’s ON•OFF key at the same time.
TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the
GO BACK key.
To use a device’s on-screen menu or guide system, you first
have to put the remote in Menu or Guide Mode.
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval
process, the remote will not respond. If you do not press a
valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD, INFO,
GO BACK), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The
ON•OFF key blinks four times, and then turns off.
