Getting Started - Overview

Control up to 3 Components

The URC-SR3 remote control is designed to control

up to three different TV/DVD components and

operate virtually all brands of TV, DVD/DVR/VCR,

and CABLE/SAT components.

Component Buttons

Once you have programmed the URC-SR3 for all of

your components, all you need to do is press a

component button and all the buttons on the URC-

SR3 will work with that component. For example,

when you press the TV component button, all the

buttons on your URC-SR3 will operate your TV. If you

press the DVD/DVR component button, all the

buttons on the URC-SR3 will operate your DVD/DVR.

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 AAA 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.

Low Battery Warning

When the batteries are low and need to be

replaced the component LED will quickly blink two

times when you press the [Power] button.

Couch Mode

The URC-SR3 is designed to automatically turn itself

off if a button is pressed for more than 30 seconds.

This prevents battery power from being depleted

should the remote accidentally slip between the

couch cushions.

Programming URC-SR3 using

Pre-Programmed Codes

There are three different ways you can program

your URC-SR3 using the component brand codes

that are pre-programmed into the remote. One of

these will work for you!

• Quick Set-Up Method

• Three-Digit Code Entry Method

• Auto-Search Method

* * *

TRY THIS FIRST!

Quick Set-Up Method

STEP 1: Manually or using your old remote, turn

on the component you want to program—for

example, to program your TV, turn on your TV set.

STEP 2: Point the URC-SR3 toward the component

that you want to program (in this case the TV set)

and press and hold the component button (in this

case the TV button). While holding down the

component button, begin to press numeric

keys, one number at a time, starting from 1,

continuing to 2, 3 ... 0 until component (in this case

the TV) turns off.

STEP 3: Release the component button to save the

code. The component LED light will blink two times

to confirm that the code has been stored.

Repeat the above three steps for other components.

IFQUICK SET-UP DID NOT WORK, TRY THIS

Three-Digit Code Set-Up Method

STEP 1: Find the 3-digit code numbers assigned to

your brand from the lists in the back of this manual.

The codes are listed by component category (i.e.,

CBL/SAT, TV, DVD/DVR, 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.

STEP 2: Once you have located the 3-digit codes

for each of the components that you wish to

operate with your URC-SR3, 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.

STEP 3: Manually or using your old remote, turn

on the component you want to program—for

example, to program your TV turn on your TV set.

STEP 4: On the URC-SR3, press the Component

button that you want to program (in this case the

button that says TV) and the SELECT [SEL] button at

the same time. Hold down both buttons for 2

seconds until the TV Component LED light turns on.

This signals that you are in programming mode.

IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform

the next step while you are in programming mode.

If you do not press a button within 30 seconds,the

component LED light will turn off. The remote will

exit the programming mode and you will have to

start over.

STEP 5: Point the URC-SR3 toward the component

(in this example the TV) and punch in the first 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.

STEP 6: Once you’ve entered the code number

and the component has turned off, press the

POWER button on the URC-SR3 remote to turn the

component back on.

Next test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons (or

PLAY and STOP buttons for DVD/DVR) 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.

STEP 7: 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 LED light will blink

two times to confirm that the code was successfully

stored. Now when you press the TV component

button, all of the buttons will work with your TV.

Program the remaining components by repeating

steps 3 through 7.

IMPORTANT: If you have tried all the set-up codes

in the list and the component still did not turn off after

Step 5, either the Auto-Search Method (page 10) or

the Learning Method (page 12) will help you

program.

If the Three Digit Code did not

work, try this next:

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.

STEP 1: Manually or using your old remote, turn

on the component you want to program—for

example, to program your TV, turn on your TV set.

STEP 2: On the URC-SR3, press the Component

button that you want to program (in this case the

button that says TV) and the SELECT [SEL] button at

the same time. Hold down both buttons for 2

seconds until the TV Component button light turns

on. This signals that you are in programming

mode.

IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform

the next step while you are in programming mode.

If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, the

component LED light will turn off. The remote will

exit the programming mode and you will have to

start over.

STEP 3: Point the URC-SR3 remote control toward

the component and press the UP



arrow (or

DOWN



arrow) button once. Each time the



or DOWN



arrow button is pressed, the

code will count up (or down) one code number

and send a Power OFF signal. When the correct

code is sent out, the component will turn off.
