able (your cable installer may select an
alternate setup).
Make sure to set your TV to channel 2, 3,
or 4 as directed by your cable company.
Press the [VCR] button, then the [SETUP] button on the remote.

appropriate buttons on the numeric key pad.
Press the [SETUP] button again to save the code. The red indicator
light at the upper left-hand corner of your remote will flash 3 times if
these steps were followed correctly.
Press the [VCR] button again to test the code you‘ve entered. The
VCR should turn on or OFF each time the [VCR] button is pressed. If
the VCR doesn’t turn on and OFF, repeat this VCR setup procedure
with the next code listed in the “VCR codes” chart (section 5) .
Press the [TV] button, then the [SETUP] button on the remote.
Enter the 3-digit TV code for your brand of TV listed in the “TV codes”
chart.
Press the [SETUP] button again to save the code. The red indicator
light at the upper left-hand corner of your remote will flash 3 times if
these steps were followed correctly.

Manually turn ON power to the device you want to program the
remote for (Cable Box, TV, or VCR).
Point the remote control at the device, and press the following keys:
[the device button] (the red buttons at the top of the remote),
[SETUP], [the right arrow key], then [the device button]
If the device is still ON, continue at step 3 below. If it turns OFF,
press [SETUP] again to store the code you just selected, and you’re
all done.
Press [the right arrow key], then [the device button] until the device
turns OFF. When the device turns OFF, press [SETUP] to save the
code. Please be patient — there are about 90 possible codes.

step 3
Problem
I programmed the remote, but it won’t work my TV, VCR, or Cable Box.
Solution
You may have entered the wrong code (or the correct code might not be listed).
Try entering all of the device manufacturer’s codes again, starting with the
manufacturer’s popular code if one is available. If you are still unable to operate
your device, follow the instructions in the section titled
CodeScan
™
.
Weak batteries may cause the remote to only operate one device. If this
happens, simply replace them with NEW alkaline batteries and reprogram the
remote. If you are sure the batteries are good, try rolling them with your finger to
ensure a good connection.
Problem
My remote control doesn’t operate my combination TV/VCR.
Solution
Most combination TV/VCRs have VCR tuners in them. You will need to select a
code from the VCR section that will power up your TV/VCR. If this is the case, you
probably won’t need to use a TV code. Also, to control volume with your remote
control, you must program the remote for the cable box last.
Problem
What determines which device operates volume control?
Solution
Volume will be controlled through the device that was programmed last in the
section titled “setting up your remote control.” For example, if the last device you
programmed the remote to operate was your cable box, then the remote will
control volume through your cable box and not your TV.
