Programming the Remote

There are 3 programming methods available for the 8-In-1 Universal Remote:
Brand Code Search, Direct Code Entry and Automatic Code Search.
We suggest trying the Brand Code Search first. This is the quickest method
to program the remote if your brand is listed in the Top Brand List (See page
11). If your brand is not listed, program the remote using Direct Code Entry.
Use Automatic Code Search only if Direct Code Entry fails. If the brand of
your selected device is listed in the Top Brand List you may be able to program the remote by a quick search through the Code List for that specific
brand. Please follow the steps below:
Brand Code Search

Notes:
Brand Code Search is supported only in TV, SAT, VCR and DVD modes.
This method will not work for other devices. (If AUX is programmed with
a TV, SAT, VCR or DVD, the Brand Code Search method is supported.)
Brand Code Search consists of the 20 most popular TV brands and 10
each of the most popular SAT, VCR and DVD brands.
1. Turn on the device you want the remote to control. For VCR/CD/DVD,
insert a tape/disc at the same time.
2. Locate the number that corresponds to the brand using the Top Brand
List. (For example, if your TV is a SONY, the correct number is 00; if
your VCR is a PANASONIC, the correct number is 2.)

Brand Code Search

3. To program a selected device, press and hold the DEVICE button for .
3 seconds. The LED illuminates when the button is pressed and goes
off after 3 seconds (e.g., TV).
4. Release the DEVICE button; the LED comes back on.
5. For TV, enter the two digits (00-19) that correspond to the TV brand
(e.g. 00 for Sony TV). The LED turns off each time you press the button and illuminates again after your release it. To exit any time after
this step, press and release EXIT button.
6. For VCR, DVD and SAT, enter the single digit (0-9) that corresponds to
the selected brand (e.g. 2 for Panasonic VCR). The LED turns off each
time you press the button and illuminates again after your release it.
7. Aim the remote control at the selected device. The LED blinks indicating the code search is in progress.
8. When the device turns off, the correct code has been found. Press and
release the corresponding DEVICE button immediately to store the
code and exit the mode. The LED flashes slowly four times and turns
off.
9. Verify the majority of your devices functions operate with the remote
control. If some features do not respond, try the Brand Code Search
again, or program the remote control using the Direct Code Entry or
Automatic Code Search programming method.
10. To exit the mode at any time, press and release the EXIT button. .
The LED flashes quickly four times and turns off. The previously programmed code remains unchanged.
To program your SONY TV after it is turned on, press the following buttons .
in sequence:
Notes:
During step 8, some devices may not turn off, but PLAY, CHANNEL UP .
or MUTE will. This indicates you may have found the correct code.
While the remote is in code search mode, any button that is pressed other
than EXIT or DEVICE will be ignored. The remote remains in code search
mode.
