  Code Search

If your device 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 

CHAN+

 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 

CHAN- 

button to 

backtrack through the library until the device 

changes channel. Pressing 

CHAN+

 changes 

direction to forward again. 

5.  Press and release 

ENTER 

to install the 

code. 

Most users will store DVD codes under the 

DVD 

button, 

and Satellite or Cable codes under 

SAT/CBL

. If (for ex-

ample) you want to store a DVR code under 

SAT/CBL

, 

first follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry (page 

8) and press 

SAT/CBL 

in step 2 of Direct Code Entry, 

then enter ANY DVR code in step 3 of Direct Code Entry. 

Then follow the steps above for Code Search.

Note

:  If the device does not have a

 CHAN+

 button, use 

PLAY 

(DVD/DVR/VCR only) or 

POWER 

instead. Code 

Search starts from the currently stored 4 digit number 

under that mode. Sometimes the first code that “works” 

with your device may only allow limited functionality 

(e.g., the MENU button might not work). There may be 

a code that performs more functions. Continue the code 
search process until the best code is found.
