Programming the remote control for use with
your audio/video devices
Device code setup
1. Refer to the device code table on pages 19–20 to find the code for
the brand of your device.
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find one that works.
2. Repeatedly press MODE until the correct device mode indicator
(CABLE/SAT, VCR, DVD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2) lights up.
3. While holding down the RECALL button, press the Channel
Number buttons to enter the four-digit code for your device.
If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink two times.
If an invalid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink one
long blink.
4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test
the code. If the device responds to the remote control, you have
entered a correct code.
Note:
In addition to POWER, confirm that all necessary keys on
the TV remote control operate your device. If some keys are not
operational, repeat the device code setup using another code (if
other codes are listed for your device). If, after trying all listed
codes, the necessary keys do not operate your device, use the
device’s original remote control.
If the device does not respond to the remote control, you may
have entered an invalid code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another
code.
5. To control the TV, repeatedly press MODE until the “TV” mode
indicator lights up.
Searching and sampling the code of a device (8500)
If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you can
cycle the remote through the available codes for that device mode and
sample functions in order to find the code that properly operates the
target device. The keys available to be sampled, provided they are
applicable to that mode, are 0, 1, 2, 3, POWER, VOL
y
, CH
y
,
PLAY and STOP. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.
To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:
1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.
2. While holding down RECALL, press 8-5-0-0.
The remote control will enter program mode.
3. Point the remote control at the target device and press POWER
(or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).
4. If the device responds to the remote control:
Press RECALL to store the device code. The mode indicator
will blink two times and the remote control will exit the
program mode.
If the device does not respond to the remote control:
Press
y
, and then press POWER. Repeat this step until the
device responds to the remote control, and then press
RECALL.
Note:
When a search cycle is complete, the mode indicator will blink
three times. The remote control will begin to cycle through the
available codes again. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while
programming, the remote control will exit the program mode and
return to the previous code.

RECALL
Note:
• Every time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
• Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These VCRs
have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.” If
your VCR has this kind of switch and does
not respond to any of the codes for your
VCR brand, set the switch to the other
position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram
the remote control.
