Programming Remote Control
Your remote control can handle several devices. However, first you have to set up your remote control for your equipment. You can do this in one of the following ways:
Brand Setup
First, find the manufacturer of your equipment on the Brand Codes list. If the manufacturer’s brand is not listed, go to Automatic Search below. To set up your remote control follow these steps:
1. Turn the device on.
2. Press TV / AUD / DVD / AUX / STB depending on what mode you want to handle and then hold RCU SETUP until the
device key blinks twice.
3. Enter one of the codes from the list. If the code was correct the mode key blinks twice. If not, the key emits one long blink.
Then, you will have to repeat steps 2 and 3 until entering the correct code.
4. Press POWER. If the device has turned off, you have chosen the right code. If none of the codes work, try Automatic
Search.

3. Press 9 9 1. The mode key blinks twice.
4. Aim the remote at the device and press POWER.
5. Press CH + and CH- repeatedly until the device is switched off.
6. Press POWER to turn the TV on.
7. Next, press RCU SETUP to store the code for your device. The mode key blinks twice. Your remote control is now programmed to operate your TV set.
8. To search codes for other devices repeat steps 1 through 7, but substitute the TV key with the appropriate one for the mode
you are searching for.

Finding Your Code
If you want to know what code operates your device, you can obtain it with the Device Code option. To find out the code, follow these instructions:
1. Switch on your device. Then press appropriate mode key, for example TV if you want to set up a TV.
2. Press and hold the RCU SETUP until the mode key blinks twice.
3. Press 9 9 0. The mode key blinks twice.
4. For the first digit of your code, press 1 and count the number of times the key blinks (e.g. 2 blinks = 2). If the light does not blink, the digit is 0. For the second digit press 2 and count the number of blinks. Do the same for the remaining digits.
5. To check for other device codes, repeat the above steps, but substitute the TV key with the appropriate one for the device you are checking.
Using Learning
Your remote control includes a learning feature. It means you can transfer some unique functions from the remote control of other device to this remote control.
1. Press RCU SETUP until the last selected mode key blinks twice. Then press 9 7 5.
2. Press the mode key. For example to transfer a function from DVD remote control press DVD.
3. Press the key on which the function will be stored.
4. Place your remote control and the device remote control (e.g. your DVD remote control) head-to-head, about 5 centimeters /
2 inches apart.
5. On the device remote, press and hold the key to be learned. The target remote control will blink rapidly and turn off. Keep holding the key on the device remote control until the device key on the target remote blinks twice.
6. If the learning failed, the device key emits one long blink. You will have to repeat step 5.
