Congratulations on your purchase of this
Universal Remote Control. Universal Remotes
let you replace a broken or lost remote or
combine more than one remote into one.
We’ve even take this a step further and added
a handy optional Find feature. By purchasing
additional accessories you can easily locate a
lost or misplaced remote, see page 13 for more
details.
We’ve also added Braille to the most
frequently used buttons to make them easier to
find for the sight-impaired.
This remote control operates the common
features of most models and brands of
IR Infrared Controlled Video Equipment.
This remote may provide functions that
are not available on your equipment. Some
functions of your particular equipment (e.g.
menu functions) may not be controlled by
this remote. In such cases, use the original
remote control for your equipment. Please
use this manual to become familiar with your
Universal Remote. After you are familiar with
your remote the first thing you need to do is to
install batteries and setup your remote for your
particular product and brand.
Thank you for buying this Universal Remote
and we hope it will give you many years of
service.

Battery Installation
1. On the back of the remote, push down on
the tab and lift the cover off.
2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks
inside the battery case, then insert 2 AA
Alkaline batteries.

Battery Saver
Your remote automatically turns off if the
buttons are depressed more than 30 seconds.
This will save your batteries should your
remote get stuck in a place where the buttons
remain depressed (e.g., between the sofa
cushions).
Code Saver
You will have up to 10 minutes to change the
batteries in your remote without losing codes
you have programmed. However, do not press
any buttons until batteries are installed in the
remote. If buttons are pressed without batteries
in the remote, all codes will be lost.
Power-On Default
The remote powers on in TV mode.
Note when using your remote that you don’t
need to point it directly at the device you want
to control. We’ve included transmit LEDs on
the back of the remote so it works even if you
point it upwards.
To set up your remote to control your TV
1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the
green indicator under a mode button stays
on, then release the SETUP button.
2. Press and release the TV mode button. The
green indicator for TV mode blinks, then
stays lit.
3. Enter the 4 digit TV code from the code
tables (on separate sheet). Note: after a
valid code entry, the green indicator turns
off. For an invalid code, the green indicator
flashes.
4. With your device on, press POWER. If the
device turns off, no further programming
is required. Note: If some buttons do not
operate your equipment, try one of the other
codes for your brand.
Note: Most users will first set up the remote
to control their TV. But you also need to set
up the remote to control other devices you
want to control:

If your product does not respond after you
have tried all the codes for your brand, or if
your brand is not listed, try searching for your
code by following these steps.
1. Manually turn on the device (TV, Cable
Box, etc.) to be controlled.
2. Press and hold both the MUTE and
POWER buttons at the same time until the
green indicator under a mode button stays
on, then release the buttons.
3. Press and quickly release the desired mode
button (TV or SAT/CBL). The green
indicator for that mode blinks off once.
4. Press the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly
(up to 300 times) until the device to be
controlled changes channel. The green
indicator blinks off with each button press.
If you accidentally overshoot the code
required, press the CHANNEL DOWN
button to backtrack through the library
until the device changes channel. Pressing
CHANNEL UP changes direction to
forward again.
5. Press and release MUTE to install the code.
If the device does not have a CHANNEL UP
button, use POWER instead. Code Search
starts from the currently stored 4 digit number
under that mode.
Note: You can only store TV codes under
the TV button. Most users will store Cable
or Satellite codes under SAT/CBL. You can
however store any type of code under SAT/
CBL. If (for example) you want to store a
CD code under SAT/CBL, first follow the
procedure for Direct Code Entry (previous
page) and press SAT/CBL in step 2 of Direct
Code Entry, then enter ANY CD code in step
3 of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps
above for Code Search.

Code Identi cation Feature
The Code Identification Feature allows you to
identify the 4 digit library code stored under
your device key. For example, if you want to
find out what 4 digit code is stored under your
TV device key, follow the six steps below:

POWER buttons at the same time until the

indicator blinks off.
4. To find the first digit for the code stored
under the mode key pressed in step 2, press
each numeric key from 0-9 in turn. When
the green indicator blinks off the number
you pressed is the first digit for the code
you are searching for.
5. To find the second digit, repeat step 4, this
time when the green indicator blinks off this
is the second digit.
6. Repeat step 4 to find the third and fourth
digits.
Programming Combo Device Codes
Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD,
DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two
different Mode buttons to control both parts of the
Combo device. For example, if you have a TV/
DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code
under the TV button to control the TV part AND
a separate code (under any other Mode button) to
control the DVD part.
