Programming with Code Search

1. Manually turn on the device (TV, VCR, etc.) to be controlled.
2. Press and hold Code Search button until the red indicator

stays on. Release the Code Search button.

3. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.).

The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.

4. Press the Channel Up button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until

the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator
blinks, then stays lit.  If you accidentally overshoot the code
required, press the Channel Down button to backtrack through
the library until the device changes channel. Pressing Channel
Up changes direction to forward again. Press and release the
Mute button to install the code.

The above assumes that you want to store VCR codes under the
VCR button, Cable codes under CBL, etc. If you want to store a
VCR code under CBL, etc., first follow the procedure on page 10
and try ANY CBL code from the code tables, e.g. press CBL in step
2, page 10, and then enter ANY VCR code. Then follow the steps
above.

Note

:  If the device does not have a Channel Up button, use Play

(VCR only) or Power instead. Code Search starts from the currently
stored three digit number under that mode e.g. if the mode has 100
codes and the currently stored code is 050 then the Code Search
starts from 051 continuing to 100 before looping back to 000 and
finishing at 050.  This simplifies the process if you find that
several preprogrammed codes operate your device by allowing

you to bypass codes already tried.

Direct Code Entry

stays on. Release the Code Search button.

2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.).

The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.

code entry, the red indicator turns off.  For an invalid code, the
red indicator flashes.

4. With your device on, press CHANNEL Up. If the device

responds, no further programming is required. Note: If some
buttons do not operate your equipment, try one of the other
codes for your brand.
