Point and Press®Programming
This method allows you to program the remote control without using codes. Instead, the remote control
automatically finds the correct command that you select in a variety of codes until you find the code that operates
your device. You then lock in the correct code as described below.
The following instructions describe how to program your remote control using the [CH +] or [CH -] buttons ("Power"
function during programming). You may also program your remote control using other buttons / functions as
described in Section 14. When using this method, there are several important points to remember:
•The order in which you program your electronic devices is not important.
•There may be several codes that turn your electronic devices on / off (or perform other functions). Once you
lock-in a code, be sure to check the available functions for that device (i.e. TV -Vol +/-, Mute, TV Input
(Input button); VCR -Play, Stop..; DVD -Play, Stop...; AUDIO -Vol +/-, Mute) to see if they are operating.
•While the remote is searching for the correct setup code(s) for your electronic devices, it is possible that
other (previously programmed) devices may turn on / off (or perform other functions). If this occurs,
continue pressing the [CH +] or [CH -] buttons (or the buttons described in Section 14) until you find the
correct code for the device you are programming.
•It may take several minutes for the remote to find the correct code that turns your device off (or performs
another selected function). During this time, the power / mode buttons will illuminate in fast-rotation (i.e.
CBL àTV àVCR àDVDàAUDIO àCBL…).
Programming your electronic devices using the [Ch +] or [Ch -] buttons (“Power” function during
programming)...
1. Turn on all the electronic devices (TV, VCR, DVD, AUDIO) you want to program the remote to operate.
2. Press [OK], then [MUTE] together until the power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CBL à
TV àVCR àDVD àAUDIO àCBL…).
3. Press and hold the [CH +] button until one device turns off. While you are pressing the [CH +] button, the
power / mode buttons will illuminate in fast-rotation. As soon as one device turns off, release the [CH +]
button.
4. Press [MUTE]. If the device that turned off...
a. Turns back on, press [OK] to lock in this code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3-times and go
out.
Or
b. Does not turn back on, press [CH -] one step at a time until that device turns back on. Each time you
press the [CH -] button, the power / mode buttons will illuminate once in reverse fast-rotation (AUDIO
àDVD àVCR àTV àCBL).
Once you have found a code that turns the device on / off, press [OK] to lock in this code. The
power / mode buttons will blink 3-times and go out.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 above for each of the remaining electronic devices you wish to program the remote to
operate.
6. Programming Your TV / VCR Combination
1. First, turn on your TV / VCR combination device and install a VHS tape.

2. Next, program your remote to operate the TV functions of your combination device.
Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, find a TV Setup Codethat operates the
TV functions (Power, Vol +/-, Mute) of your combination device.
3. Last, program your remote to operate the VCR functions of your combination device.
Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, enter, lock and test each 3-digit VCR
Setup Code for your brand until a code is found that operates the transport functions (Play, Stop, Rew,
Pause, Rec) functions of your TV / VCR combination device.
Before you can test for the correct VCR setup code, you must first press the [MODE] button, then the [VCR]
button to put the remote in its VCR mode.
7. Programming Your TV / DVD or TV / VCR / DVD Combination
1. First, turn on your TV / DVD combination device and install a DVD.
2. Next, program your remote to operate the TV functions.
Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, find a TV Setup Codethat operates the
TV functions (Power, Vol p/q, Mute, Ch p/q, 0-9) of your TV / DVD combination device.
3.Last, program your remote to operate the DVD functions.
Using the Code Entry Programming method described in Section 5, enter, lock and test each 3-digit DVD
Setup Code for your brand until a code is found that operates the transport functions (PLAY, STOP, REW,
FWD, PAUSE, REC) of your TV / DVD combination device.
Before you can test for the correct DVD setup code, you must first press the [MODE] button, then [DVD]
button to put the remote in its DVD mode.
4. If you have a TV / VCR / DVDcombination device, you would then program your remote to operate the VCR
functions.

Additional Programming Information
1. The power / mode buttons will illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CBL àTV àVCR àDVD àAUDIO àCBL…)
while the remote is in a programming mode. In the absence of a keypress entry, the power / mode buttons will
stop illuminating after 45 seconds and the remote will exit the programming mode.
2. When programming the remote control using the [CH +] or [CH -] buttons (Power function) in the Point and
Press®Programming method, you may find a code that turns a device off but not back on. If this happens…
a. The correct code has not been found as you may have a code that operates some but not all of the
functions of your device. Continue pressing [CH +] until your device turnson.
OR
b. You may have gone past the correct matching code. Try pressing [CH -] one press at a time until you
find a code that turns your device back on.
3. When using the Point and Press®Programming method, you can also program your remote using buttons other
than the [CH +] or [CH -] as described in Section 5 as follows:
a. [VOL +] –to “go forward” through the codes using the “VOL +” function on your devices.
b. [VOL -] –to “go back” through the codes using the “VOL -“ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the volume of the device being programmed will increase or
decrease.
c. [p] -to “go forward” through the codes using the “CH +” function on your devices.
d. [q] -to “go back” through the codes using the “CH –“ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the channel of the device being programmed will increase or
decrease.
e. [uu] -to “go forward” through the codes using the “Fast Forward” function on your devices.
f. [tt] -to “go back” through the codes using the “Rewind” function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the fast-forward or rewind function of the device being programmed
will be performed. To simplify programming using these buttons, insert a VHS tape or DVD in the device
being programmed.
4. Your remote is equipped with a Point and Press®Programming label on the back of its case. This will help
you quickly program the remote without using codes.
Troubleshooting / Tips
1.If the same button is pressed and held for 30-seconds, your remote control will turn itself off automatically.
This extends the battery life should the remote become lodged under or between heavy objects, for example
sofa cushions.
2. When the batteries become low and need to be replaced, the [CBL], [TV], [VCR], [DVD], [AUDIO] buttons will
not illuminate normally or at all during use, and the remote will no longer operate your devices.

~8214842.doc
-15 -
When this occurs, replace the existing batteries with two (2) new AA Alkaline batteries to restore normal
operation to the remote. If your remote still does not operate, you may want to check to see if one of the buttons
is stuck in its “down” position.
3.If you have a TV that’s operated by remote control, it is recommended that you plug it directly into a wall
outlet instead of the cable set-top terminal.
4.If you have any questions concerning the brand, model or operation of your cable set-top terminal, contact
your cable operator.
