Getting Started
Control up to five (5) Components
The FX1 is designed to control up to five different
Audio/Video components and operate virtually all
brands of Audio, TV, DVD, VCR, Cable and Satellite
components.
Component Buttons
Once you have programmed the FX1 for all of your compo-
nents, all you need to do is press a component button and
all the buttons on the FX1 will work with that component.
For example, when you press the TV component button, all
the buttons on your FX1 will operate your TV. If you press
the DVD component button, all the buttons on the FX1 will
operate your DVD.
Each time you press any of the buttons
on the remote, the LED light in the
component button
will light up to
indicate which
component you
are controlling.
Battery Installation
Press the tab and remove the cover
of the battery compartment located
in the back of your remote. Insert the
two AA batteries (included in the
package) making sure to match the
positive (+) and negative (-) symbols
as shown in the diagram. Place the
cover back over
the battery
compartment.

Setting Up Your FX1
There are two ways you can program your remote:
• The Code Entry Method (page 4)
• The Auto-Search Method (page 7)
The Code Entry Method allows you to set up the FX1 using
brand names. It is fast and easy to program. The Auto-Search
Method scans through all the brands in the remote control,
one at a time. It should be used when the Code entry
method does not work.
Code Entry Method
Find the 3 digit code numbers assigned to your brand from the
lists in the back of this manual. The codes are listed by compo-
nent category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), then by brand name.
For instance, if you would like to locate a code for a Sony
television, first locate the TV category and then look for the
Sony brand.
Once you have located the 3-digit codes for each of the
components that you wish to operate with your FX1, write
them ALL down on a piece of paper. It’s important that you
write down all the codes listed for your brand because only
one code is going to work with your component.
Using your old remote, turn on the component you want to
program—for example, to program your TV turn on your TV set.
Press the Component button (in this case the button that says
TV) and the SELECT (SEL) button at the same time. Hold down
both buttons for 3 seconds until the TV Component button light
turns on.
IMPORTANT: You have 20 seconds to
perform the next step while you are
in programming mode. If you do not
press a button within 20 seconds, the
LED light will turn off. The remote
will exit the programming mode
and you will have to start over.
5
Point the remote toward the component (in this example
the TV) and punch in the 3-digit-code that you wrote down
for that specific component. Use the Number buttons 0~9
on the remote to punch in the code. The TV LED light will
blink each time a number is pressed.
If the 3-digit code number you just punched in is the correct
number, the component you are trying to program will turn
off. If it did not turn off, enter the next code number from
your list until it does turn off.
IMPORTANT: If you have tried all the set-up codes in the
list and the component still did not turn off after Step 5,
the Auto-Search Method (page 7) will help you program.
6
Once you’ve entered the code number and the component has
turned off, press the POWER button on your remote to turn the
component back on.
Once you’ve entered a correct code you must save it. Press the
component button you just programmed (in this case TV) one
more time to save the code number. The component button LED
light will blink three times to confirm that the code was success-
fully stored. Now when you press the TV component button,
all of the buttons will work with your TV.
Now it’s time to test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons
(or PLAY and STOP buttons for VCR and DVD) to make sure
they all work. For example, perhaps your Sony TV turned
off with code number 147, but the volume controls did not
work properly. In this case, try the next code number listed
for that component. Repeat Step 5 using the next code
number until you find a perfect match.
Program the remaining components by repeating steps 3
through 7.
IMPORTANT: If the Code Entry Method did not work with
your components, try the Auto-Search Method next as
outlined on page 7.

Auto-Search Method
The Auto-Search Method is a way you can scan through
all of the codes in the table to find the right code for your
component.
Using your old remote, turn on the component you want to
program with the FX1... let’s say your TV.
Press down on both the Component button (in this case the but-
ton that says TV) and the SELECT (SEL) button at the same time
for 3 seconds until the TV component button LED light turns on.
Press the UP arrow button once. Each time the UP arrow is
pressed, the code will count up one code number and send a
Power OFF signal. When the correct code is sent out, the com-
ponent will turn off.
IMPORTANT: If you do not press a button within 20
seconds the LED light will turn off. The remote will exit
the programming mode and you will have to start over.
8
Press the ON button on the FX1 to turn the component back
on. Now you can test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons
(or PLAY and STOP buttons for VCR and DVD) to make sure
they all work. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you
need to find a new code. Continue pressing the Up arrow
button until you find a code that turns off the component
makes the VOLUME or PLAY buttons respond correctly.
Once you have found the right code, you must save it by
pressing the component button (in this case TV). The compo-
nent LED light will blink three times to confirm that the code
was successfully stored.
NOTE: Use this method for those components you cannot
program with the Code Entry Method.
