Button Functions

Programming the Remote Control

The Quick Set-Up Method is a unique new feature that enables the fastest and easiest set-up by using one-digit codes for up to 10 major brands for each component. The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to setup all the buttons at once by entering 3-digit code numbers that correspond to a particular Component’s manufacturer/brand, so it’s the fastest and easiest of the two methods. (Code Tables are on the backside of this Instruction Sheet.) The Auto-Search Method scans through all the codes in the remote control, one at a time.

IMPORTANT SETUP NOTES:
This pertains to all programming steps. When you are in setup mode in each component, a component LED will light up for 30 seconds. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, the LED light will turn off and exit setup mode and you will need to start over. When programming a combo unit, program as a DVD first.

Quick Set-Up Method
STEP1
Turn on the component you want to program. To program your TV, turn on the TV.

STEP2
Press and hold the [DEVICE] key for 5 seconds until the Device LED will blink once and stays on. Continue to hold the [DEVICE] key and press the number key assigned to your brand in the Quick Set-up Code Table and release both the [DEVICE] key and the number key to save the code. The Device LED will blink twice to confirm that the code is stored.

STEP3
Point the remote control at the component.

STEP4
Press the power button. If it turns off, it is programmed for your component. If it does not turn off, use the Pre-Programmed 3-Digit code Method or Scanning Method.Repeat the steps above for all components (CBL,TV, DVD,Quick Set-up Code Tables

Pre-Programmed 3-Digit Code Method

STEP1
Turn on the Component you want to program (TV, DVD or AUX).

STEP2
Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV, DVD or AUX) to be programmed and [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The Component LED will light for 30 seconds indicating the unit is ready to be programmed.

STEP3
Point the remote control toward the Component and enter the 3-digit code number assigned to your brand.

STEP4
After you’ve entered the correct code number and the Component has turned Off, press the [POWER] button to turn the Component back On. Now it’s time to test the VOLUME and MUTE buttons for the TV (or PLAY and STOP buttons for DVD) to make sure they all work. If any of the functions do not work as they should, repeat from STEP 3 using the next 3-digit code number listed for that brand.

STEP5
Once you have found the correct 3-digit code, save it by pressing the same [COMPONENT] button one more time. The Component LED light will blink twice to confirm that the code was successfully stored.

 Auto-Search Method

STEP1
Turn on the Component you want to program (TV, DVD or AUX).

STEP2
Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV, DVD or AUX) to be programmed and [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The Component LED will light for 30 seconds indicating the unit is ready to be programmed.

STEP3
Point the remote toward the Component and press the [CH5] or [CH6] button one step at a time or keep it pressed. The remote will emit a series of ON/OFF commands. Release the [CH5] or [CH6] button as soon as the Component turns Off.

STEP4
Test functions. (Same as for 3-Digit Code Programming Method – Section C). If any of the functions do not work as they should, repeat from STEP 3 using [CH5] or [CH6] buttons to find the correct code.

STEP5
Save the code. (Same as for 3-Digit Code Programming Method – Section C).

finding a Component Button’s Setup Code Number

If you used the Auto-Search Method to program a Component, you may not know what the correct code number is. Here is a way for you to identify the code number, so you can record it for future reference.

STEP1
Press the [COMPONENT] button (TV, DVD or AUX) you want to verify and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The Component LED will light for 30 seconds.

STEP2
Press the [INFO] button and count the number of times the Component LED light blinks. This number indicates the first digit of the code, followed by the second and third, each separated by a one second pause when the LED will turn off.

AUX Function: Programming a 4 the Component 

You can take advantage of the AUX function to program a 4th Component such as a second TV, DVD or Audio Component.

STEP1
Turn on the 4th Component you want to program (TV, DVD or Audio).

STEP2
Press the [AUX] button and the [OK/SEL] button simultaneously for 3 seconds.The [AUX] Component LED will light for 30 seconds.

STEP3
Press the [COMPONENT] button you want to setup. Point the remote control toward the Component and enter the 3-digit code number assigned to your brand.

STEP4
Test functions. (Same as for 3-Digit Code Programming Method – Section C). If any of the functions do not work as they should, you need to find a new code.

STEP5
Once you have found the correct 3-digit code, save it by pressing the [AUX] button one more time. The Component LED light will blink twice to confirm the code was stored. Now when you press the AUX button, all the buttons will work with that 4th Component.

To return to original state:
If you wish to restore the TV volume control in CBL mode, repeat the above steps but press [TV] in STEP3.
