HOW IT WORKS

Power Button. This button automates the turning on of your
entertainment system based on TV and Set-Top (if
applicable) code information you provide as well as other
options you can set. This button normally turns on both your
TV and Set-Top box and sets the TV to channel 3. If you
are using a Set-Top box, you can have the TV turned on to a
different channel or video port by changing the “TV Startup
Mode option” as described in this guide. You can also have
the weemote set to go to the first favorite channel (Green #1
whenever you press the power button (Powering up to
Favorite Channel Option). If you are using a Set-Top box,
you can also set the weemote to not turn your Set-Top box
on and off whenever the power button is pressed (Set-Top
Power On/Off Option).
4
Favorite Channels 1-5. Dedicated buttons that allow you to
program channel numbers from 1 to 9999 . You must
program a minimum of one channel for the weemote® to
operate and you can program the same channel on multiple
buttons. When you define a Set-Top code, the weemote
automatically routes all channel changing commands to the
Set-Top’s tuner.
5
Volume Control. This button is normally active but can be
turned off in cases where you don’t want the user to control
the volume signal.
6
Channel Up/Down Control. This button is factory set to
only allow the favorite channels to be selected. In this mode,
favorite channels 7-10 are only accessible from this button,
if defined. There are two other optonal settings available.
You can either turn this control off altogether or allow it to
select all available channels on your system (Adult Mode).
7
TV Button. TV Programming Mode. This button allows you
to program in the applicable code for your TV or TV/VCR
unit.
8
STB Button. Set-Top Programming Mode. This button
allows you to program in the applicable code for your Set-
Top device.
9
FAV Button. Favorite Programming Mode. This button is
used to allow you to program in your favorite channels.
10
100, 10 and 1 Buttons. These buttons are used for entering
in your actual code numbers or channel numbers. In favorite
program mode, the top portion of the channel up/down
button is used to enter in 1000 numbers (4-Digit Channels).

1. If you have a cable-ready TV or TV/VCR.
COMPLETE Steps 1-9 in this guide
Please note that the weemote® is already
loaded with the most popular Sony TV code.
2. If you have a cable-ready TV connected to
a Set-Top box.
COMPLETE Steps 1-13 in this guide
Set-Top boxes are defined as cable TV boxes
and satellite receivers such as DirecTV and
Echostar. Please note that we consider TiVo or
Replay players as a Set-Top device in the
weemote®.
3. If you only want to program your Set-Top
box.
COMPLETE Steps 1-5 and 10-13 in this guide
Please note that if you only want all weemote®
controls to be sent to the Set-Top box, you must
clear the TV code already set in your
weemote®. Please refer to the section called,
“Clearing TV/Set-Top Codes”
NOTE: The weemote® will not work if you are
using a separate VCR’s tuner as your method for
changing channels on your TV. The weemote®
will also not work with UHF (radio) based, long-
range remote control systems. These systems
allow you to control your Set-Top device without
pointing the remote at the device or in another
room.

normally used MUTE button to go to either
channel 3 or 4, depending on which channel
you use to output your VCR signal. Now the

Before you begin to program in your favorite channels or codes,
here is a quick overview on the 100, 10 and 1 buttons. These
buttons allow you to program in the channels and codes you will
need to setup the weemote®. To support channels above 999,
we have also provided a means to enter in channels in the
thousands range - see note at the bottom of this page.
Depending on which number you need, you simply break down
that number by 1000’s, 100’s, 10’s and 1’s. For example, channel
294 would be entered by pressing the 100 button twice (100 X 2),
the 10 button nine times (10 X 9) and the 1 button four times (1 X
4). See diagram below.
And don’t worry about zeros - the weemote® will add them in
later. For example, if you need to enter channel 07 or 007 to get
channel 7, just enter the number 7 (1 button seven times) and the
weemote® will handle sending channel 07 or channel 007 if you
need this option (3-Digit Option).
TIP - ENTERING NUMBERS
Example:
To Enter Channel 294
100 1 0 1
294
PRESS - # TIMES
200 + 90 + 4 = 294

program
buttons
To enter in channel numbers in the thousands range, you would
use the top portion of the channel up/down button to enter
increments of 1000. This is covered in Step 4. For example, to
enter in channel 8294, you would press the top portion of the
channel up/down button 8 times (=8000), followed by entering the
information shown in the diagram above.
