Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this
24929 Universal Remote Control. It is one
of the most unique looking, and easy to use
remote controls available today. With the
24929 juggling multiple remote controls is
a thing of the past! Your 24929 Universal
Remote controls up to 4 devices, including the
most popular brands of TV, VCR, DVD, SAT,
CBL, and audio equipment.
Note: Some functions from your original
remote may not be controlled by the 24929
remote. Use the original remote, if available,
to control such functions. Sometimes buttons
other than described in these instructions may
actually perform the function. For example,
the CHAN and VOL buttons might be used
to navigate through menu choices. We
recommend you experiment with the remote
to identify if such situations pertain to your
equipment.
The 24929 Universal Remote is easy to
use, easy to program, and it gives you total
control—at the touch of your ngertips!

Note: The Record button must be pressed TWICE to record
from your VCR. For some brands of VCRs, you might need
to press the Record button once, then press it again for three
seconds. Some buttons on the remote might have functions
that are referred to by different names on the device you are
controlling. E.G. LAST may be called RECALL, or ENTER
may be called DISPLAY. These differences depend on the
brand and model of your product. Also, this remote can only
operate features that exist on your product. E.G., your product
must have LAST ability for the LAST button to operate this
feature.

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 AAA alkaline batteries.
3. Press the battery cover back into place.
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.
Code Setup
The SETUP button is used to setup the remote. You can
either setup the remote using the code for your brand of
product, from the code tables (on separate sheet), or you
can search through the library of codes until you nd a
code that works for your product.
Please refer to “Programming with Code Search” on
page 8 for more information on using the code search
feature to learn how to search through the library of
codes for your products.
NOTE: You can store any kind of code under any mode
(except TV). I.E. you can store a VCR code under the
CBL button, or a SAT code under the DVD button, etc.
However, you can only store TV codes under the TV
button.

Direct Code Entry
1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red
indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV,
DVD, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.

separate sheet). Note: after a valid code entry, the
red indicator turns off. For an invalid code, the red
indicator ashes.
4. With your device on, press CHANNEL UP. If
the device responds, no further programming is
required. Note: If some buttons do not operate your
equipment, try one of the other codes for your brand.
Write your codes down here for easy reference later.

Code Search
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, DVD, etc.) to be
controlled.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red
indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
3. Press and quickly release the desired mode button
(TV, DVD, etc.). The red indicator blinks off once.
4. Press the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly (up to
300 times) until the device to be controlled changes
channel. The red 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 ENTER to install the code.
Most users will store DVD codes under the DVD but-
ton, Cable codes under CABLE, etc. If (for example)
you want to store a DVD code under CABLE, rst
follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry (previous
page) and press CABLE in step 2 of Direct Code Entry,
then enter ANY DVD code in step 3 of Direct Code
Entry. Then follow the steps for Code Search on the pre-
vious page. Note: If the device does not have a CHAN-
NEL UP button, use PLAY (DVD only) or ON-OFF
instead. Code Search starts from the currently stored 4
digit number under that mode.

 CodeIdenticationFeature
The Code Identication Feature allows you to identify
the three digit library code stored under your device key.
For example, if you want to nd out what 4 digit code
is stored under your TV device key, follow the six steps
below:
1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red
indicator stays on. Release the SETUP button.
2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV,
DVD, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
3. Press and release the SETUP button. The red
indicator blinks off.
4. To nd the rst digit for the code stored under the
mode key pressed in step 2, press each numeric key
from 0-9 in turn. When the red indicator blinks off
the number you pressed is the rst digit for the code
you are searching for.
5. To nd the second digit, repeat step 4, this time
when the red indicator blinks off this is the second
digit.
6. Repeat step 4 to nd 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.
Controlling Combo Devices
Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/
VCR, etc.) have separate buttons on the original remote
to select the part of the Combo device to be controlled.
For example, if your Combo device is a DVD/VCR
then its original remote might have separate DVD and
VCR buttons for selection of the Combo part you would
control. The equivalent button functions can be found
on your new remote by using the device Mode and
SETUP buttons.
Referring to “Programming with Code Search” on
page 8, setup a device Mode (e.g. DVD) with the
correct code for your Combo device. Assuming the
DVD/VCR Combo device is the example and its code
is programmed under DVD Mode, press and hold the
DVD Mode button for more than one second to send
the DVD button command. To send the VCR button
command, quickly press and release the SETUP button
followed by pressing and releasing the DVD Mode
button. This method can be applied similarly to all
Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR,
etc.) and is available for all Modes. Note this feature is
not supported by all codes.
Controlling Devices Requiring Separate Power On
and Off Buttons
Some devices (e.g. certain RCA TVs) require separate
Power On and Power Off buttons to turn the device on
and off. The equivalent button functions can be found
on your new remote by using the device Mode and ON-
OFF buttons. Referring to “Programming with Code
Search” on page 8, setup a device Mode (e.g. TV) with
the correct code for your device.
Assuming a TV device is the example and its code is
programmed under TV Mode, to turn your TV on, press
and hold the TV Mode button for more than one second
to transmit the Power On button command.
Controlling Devices Requiring Separate Power On

and Off Buttons, cont.
To turn the TV off, press and release the ON-OFF
button to transmit the Power Off button command.
This method can be applied similarly to any device
and is available for all Modes. Note this feature is not
supported by all codes.
VCR/DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature
This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons (i.e.
PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) to
Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed
with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last VCR, DVD
or DVR programmed Mode you used. Normally other
types of remotes only punch-through (from another
Mode) on the 6 VCR buttons to the device programmed
under the VCR Mode button. This is not much use if
you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other
than VCR. For example, if you have 3 DVD, VCR or
DVR devices programmed into this remote, the last one
you accessed on the remote will be the one that has con-
trol of the 6 VCR transport buttons when in any other
Mode. This feature will not operate if the programmed
TV, SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport but-
ton control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc.
Volume/Mute Control and Punch-Through Feature
This remote lets you select which device Mode controls
your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is initially set
(factory default) for all device Modes programmed
with “Visual” codes (e.g. TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, SAT
& CABLE) and “Audio” codes (e.g. CD & AUDIO)
to use their own Volume/Mute control if present. If
the programmed “Visual” code has no Volume/Mute
operation of its own then those buttons will punch-
through control to the TV Mode device without needing
to change to TV Mode. Please refer to the next page for
more information.
Setup, cont.

Any Mode chosen for Volume/Mute control MUST
have its own Volume/Mute function or the Volume/
Mute buttons will do nothing.
Setting ALL Volume/Mute Control to any one Mode
This routine can set all Modes to “punch-through” to
any one chosen Mode for Volume/Mute button control
without the needing to change to that Mode.
1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red
indicator turns on, then release the button.
2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the red
indicator blinks off, then release the button.
3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV,
DVD, etc.) for Volume/Mute control, the red
indicator blinks then stays on.
4. Press and release the MUTE button and the red
indicator turns off. The red indicator will blink
rapidly for three seconds if the Mode you have
selected has no Volume/Mute control.
5. All other Modes will now punch-through to your
chosen Mode for Volume/Mute control.
6. All “Visual” and “Audio” programmed Modes will
now punch-through to the respective Modes you
have chosen for Volume/Mute control.
Setting any Mode to use its own Volume/Mute
Control
This routine can set any Mode to use only its own
Volume/Mute control. Note - If your chosen Mode has
no Volume/Mute functions of its own then the Volume/
Mute buttons will do nothing.
1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red
indicator turns on, then release the button.
2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the red
indicator blinks off, then release the button.
3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV,
DVD, etc.), the red indicator blinks then stays on.
4. Press and release the VOLUME- (Down) button,
the red indicator blinks then stays on.
5. Press and release the MUTE button and the red
indicator turns off.
6. All “Visual” and “Audio” programmed Modes will
now punch-through to the respective Modes you
have chosen for Volume/Mute control.
