XC - REMOTES

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

If you’re using Zenith products, the remote is already
programmed for most common codes: TV = 101, VCR =
201, CABLE = 353, and AUX = 401. For other brands, or
if your remote fails to control your Zenith products,
you’ll have to program the remote.

Make sure the batteries are installed and follow these
steps for each product:

1.

Press and hold PRG using a blunt pointed object.
Release PRG after the indicator light turns on.

2.

Press and release the device key for the product
being programmed (CATV, VCR, AUX, or TV).

3.

Enter the 3-digit product code from the chart on
the next page.

4.

Press and release ENTER to save the code.

5.

Point the remote at the product and press POWER
to test the product’s operation. If it does not turn
on, reprogram the remote using a different code.

AUTO FIND

If none of the codes in the code table operate your
equipment, use Auto Find to search for the proper
code.

1. Turn on the product you want to operate.
2. Press and hold PRG using a blunt pointed object.

Release PRG after the indicator light turns on.

3. Press the key to be programmed (CATV, VCR, AUX,

or TV).

4. Enter “000”, then press ENTER within two seconds.

Auto Find is active after the indicator light flashes
and remains lit.

5. Point the remote at the product.
6. Press and release POWER repeatedly, about once a

second, until your product turns Off. The indicator
light turns off when you press POWER and on when
you release it.

7. Once the product turns off, press ENTER

immediately to save the code. The indicator light
flashes to indicate the code has been saved.

8. Press POWER to turn On your product.
9. Test your product. If the remote fails to operate

the functions you use most often, use Auto Find
again to search for a better code. (Auto Find
resumes its search after the last code that was
entered and saved in step 7).

NOTE:

If the indicator light stays on as you press POWER,
Auto Find has tried all of the codes. If the product
you want to control has not  turned off, this
remote will not work with that product. To cancel
Auto Find, press PRG  at any time during Auto
Find.

CABLE BOX

This remote can control the cable/converter box volume
and muting (instead of the TV’s) if available on your
equipment.

2. After programming the cable/converter box, Press

and hold PRG again using a blunt pointed object.
Release PRG after the indicator light turns on.

3. Press and release the same button used in set 1.
4. This time, enter the special code 3-9-9 instead of

the product code.

5. Press and release ENTER to save.

VOLUME OVERRIDE

These remotes can override TV, VCR, or Video Disk Player
volume functions with an amplifier’s volume and
muting.

1. Program the amplifier normally.
2. After programming the amplifier, Press and hold

PRG again using a blunt pointed object. Release
PRG after the indicator light turns on.

3. Press and release the device button whose volume

control is to be replaced by the amplifier volume
control. For example, pressing TV will operate the
amplifier’s volume while the remote is in TV mode.

4. This time, enter the special code 4-9-9 instead of

the product code.

5. Press and release ENTER to save.
