Remote Control
Owner’s Manual

Congratulations!
With your new URC-SR3 Remote Control,
you now have the power to control your
home entertainment system with just one
easy-to-use control. Thousands of audio and
video component codes have already been
programmed into the remote for you, making
it a breeze to set up. Be sure to install the
included batteries first. See page 6 for
instructions.
Quick Set-up
Set-up one component at a time, and
you’ll move quickly through your system.
STEP 1: Turn on the component you want to
activate. (Other components can be on or
off, it doesn’t matter.)
STEP 2: Point your new URC-SR3 Remote
Control toward the component and press the
appropriately labeled Component button (TV
for TV, DVD for DVD, etc.) While holding this
button down, press the numeric assigned to
your brand in the Quick Set-up Code Table
(See Page 2) and release both Component
button and the number key to save the code.
The component light will blink two times to
confirm that the code has been stored.
STEP 3: Point the remote control at the
component.
STEP 4: Press the power button. If it turns
off, it is programmed for your component. If
it does not turn off, use the Pre-Programmed
3-Digit code Method or Scanning Method.
Check your work before you move to
the next component. Press the POWER
[ON] button to turn the component back on.
Next, test the VOLUME and CHANNEL
buttons (or PLAY and STOP buttons for DVD).
Repeat Steps 1-3 to activate up to three
components.

Getting Started - Overview
Battery Installation
Press the tab and remove the cover of the battery
compartment located in the back of your remote.
Insert the two AAA batteries (included in the package)
making sure to match the positive (+) and negative (-)
symbols as shown in the diagram. Place the cover
back over the battery compartment.
Activation overview control up
to three components
The URC-SR3 remote control is designed to
control up to three different TV/DVD
components and operate virtually all brands
of TV, DVD/DVR, and CABLE/SAT components.
Component Buttons
Be sure to match your component to the
proper Component button on the top of the
remote.
INSERT BATTERIES

Using Component Buttons
Once you have activated the remote for all
three of your components, you can simply
press a Component button at the top of the
remote, and the buttons on the remote will
work with that component.
Each time you press a button on the remote,
the Component button light will turn on,
indicating which component you are
controlling.
Learning Capability
The URC-SR3 has the ability to learn
functions from the original remote controls
of other manufacturers, even if they are not
in our pre-programmed database. See
page 14 for instructions.
Low Battery Warning
When the batteries are low and need to be
replaced, the component light will quickly
blink two times when you press the POWER
[ON] button.
Couch Mode
We’re watching out for your batteries. Your
URC-SR3 remote is designed to automatically
turn itself off if a button is pressed for more
than 30 seconds. This prevents battery power
from being depleted if the remote accidentally
slips between the couch cushions.
We love to help!
