CodeSetup
The CODE SEARCH 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 find a code that works for your product.
Please refer to “Programming with Code Search” on page
11 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 DVD code under theVCRbutton, etc.
However, you can only store TV codes under the TV
button.

battery case, then insert 2
AAA Alkaline batteries.
3. Press the battery cover
back into place.

Your remote automatically
turns off if the buttons are

This remote lets you Punch-through to the last VCR or

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. This
remote punches-through to the last VCR or DVD device
you used. For example, if you have 3 DVD/VCR devices
programmed into this remote, the last one you accessed
on the remote will be the one that has control of the 6
VCR/DVD buttons when in any other mode.
TV/VCR/INPUT
When in TV mode theTV/VCR/INPUTbuttonperforms

function.
TV/VCRandTV/DVDCombounits
Note that for some TV/VCR and TV/DVD combo units
you might need to set up two different buttons to
control both parts of the combo unit. E.G., (referring to
the Direct Code Entry section on the following page)
you might need to set up a code under the TV button to
control the TV part of the combo unit AND a separate
code for the VCR or DVD under any other button you
choose.
Misc.
OKmeans same as SELECT - some manufacturers use
OK label and others use SELECT label on their remotes.
