indicator flashes.

4. With your device on, press CHANNELUP. 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.

Code Identification Feature

The Code Identification Feature allows you to identify

the 4 digit library code stored under your device key.

For example, if you want to find out what 4 digit code is

stored under your TV device key, follow the six steps

below:

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red

indicator stays on. Release the SETUP button.

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

indicator blinks off.

4. To find the first digit for the code stored under the

mode key pressed in step 2, press each numeric key

from 0-9 in turn. When the red indicator blinks off

the number you pressed is the first digit for the code

you are searching for.

5. To find the second digit, repeat step 4, this time

when the red indicator blinks off this is the second

digit.

6. Repeat step 4 to find the third and fourth digits.

Programming Combo Device Codes

Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/

VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode

buttons to control both parts of the Combo device. For

example, if you have a TV/DVD Combo, you might need

to set up one code under the TV button to control the

TV part AND a separate code (under any other Mode

button) to control the DVD part.

VCR/DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature

This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons (i.e.

PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) to

Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed

with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last VCR, DVD or

DVR programmed Mode you used. Normally other

types of remotes only punch-through (from another

Mode) on the 6 VCR buttons to the device programmed

under the VCR Mode button. This is not much use if

you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other

than VCR. For example, if you have 2 DVD, VCR or DVR

devices programmed into this remote, the last one you

accessed on the remote will be the one that has control

of the 6 VCR transport buttons when in any other

Mode. This feature will not operate if the programmed

TV, SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport

button control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc.

Volume/Mute Control and Punch-Through Feature

This remote lets you select which device Mode controls

your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is initially set

(factory default) for all device Modes programmed with

“Visual” codes (e.g. TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, SAT &

CABLE) and “Audio” codes (e.g. CD & AUDIO) to use

their own Volume/Mute control if present. If the

programmed “Visual” code has no Volume/Mute

operation of its own then those buttons will punch-

through control to the TV Mode device without

needing to change to TV Mode. Please refer to the next

page for more information.

Setup, cont.Setup, cont.

Any Mode chosen forVolume/Mute control MUST have

its own Volume/Mute function or the Volume/Mute

buttons will do nothing.

SettingALLVolume/Mute Control to any one Mode

This routine can set all Modes to “punch-through” to

any one chosen Mode for Volume/Mute button control

without the needing to change to that Mode.

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red

indicator turns on, then release the button.

2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the red

indicator blinks off, then release the button.

3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV,

DVD, etc.) for Volume/Mute control, the red

indicator blinks then stays on.

4. Press and release the MUTE button and the red

indicator turns off. The red indicator will blink

rapidly for three seconds if the Mode you have

selected has no Volume/Mute control.

5. All other Modes will now punch-through to your

chosen Mode for Volume/Mute control.

6. All “Visual” and “Audio” programmed Modes will

now punch-through to the respective Modes you

have chosen for Volume/Mute control.

Setting any Mode to use its own Volume/Mute Control

This routine can set any Mode to use only its own

Volume/Mute control. Note - If your chosen Mode has

no Volume/Mute functions of its own then the Volume/

Mute buttons will do nothing.

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red

indicator turns on, then release the button.

2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the red

indicator blinks off, then release the button.

3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV,

DVD, etc.), the red indicator blinks then stays on.

4. Press and release the VOLUME- (Down) button, the

red indicator blinks then stays on.

5. Press and release the MUTE button and the red

indicator turns off.

6. All “Visual” and “Audio” programmed Modes will

now punch-through to the respective Modes you

have chosen for Volume/Mute control.

Code Learning

The learning feature lets you “learn” functions from

your original remote control. For example - you may

want to use your remote to operate the RANDOM

PLAY feature from your original CD remote control.

This remote is equipped with an “easy learning” feature

that lets you “learn” features (such as RANDOM PLAY

from your original CD remote).

Tips on Learning

You can only learn one device type under any one

Mode button e.g. only learn TV codes under the TV

Mode, DVD codes under the DVD Mode, etc. If you are

trying to learn from a “Universal” remote, it might have

more than one code type stored under a Mode. Try

learning from another remote to see if there’s a problem

with the type or brand of remote you are trying to learn

from.

a. Some functions from some types of remotes might

not be able to be learned.

b. No functions may be stored under LEARN or

SETUP buttons.

c. Only one original device type can be learned per

individual Mode.

d. Use fresh batteries for both the Learning Remote

and the Original Remote.

e. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or

low-energy lights when learning.

f. Perform a Master Clear (see page 17) before learning

and try learning 2 or 3 commands initially. Then

carry out a Master Clear before completely learning

your original remote’s commands.

g. Place the original remote end-to-end with the

Learning Remote so the IR transmitters on both

remotes are directly in line with each other. You may

need to adjust the height of either remote to achieve

this. Use the IR Transmitter Finder feature to assist

you.

Setup, cont.

Sleep Timer

The SLEEP button operates the Sleep function of your

device providing it supports the Sleep function.

Alternatively, you can enable the remote to turn off

your TV after a period of 1 to 99 minutes as shown

below. This feature is only available for the TV Mode

and the remote must be in TV Mode to set a Sleep

Timer. This feature works even if your TV does not

have its own Sleep function.

1. Press and release the TV Mode button.

2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red

indicator stays on. Release the SETUP button.

3. Press and release the SLEEP button (Note any

previously set Sleep timer is cancelled at this point

and the remote returns to normal operation).

4. Press and release the numeric buttons (01-99) for

the time required. The red indicator blinks off to

indicate button press acceptance and remains off

after the second button press.

5. TV Sleep Timer now set.

6. Leave the Remote pointing towards the TV with an

unobstructed path.

To cancel the Sleep Timer, press and release the

POWER button in TV Mode or repeat Steps 1, 2 and 3

above.

1514

This feature assists you in identifying where your

original remotes IR transmitter is located and is

particularly useful if your original remote’s IR

transmitter is hidden behind a lens.

1. Point both remotes facing each other by

approximately 1 inch apart (see Tips on Learning on

previous pages)

2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red

indicator turns on, then release the button.

3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV,

DVD, etc.), the red indicator blinks then stays on.

4. Press and release the LEARN button, the red

indicator blinks then stays on.

5. Press and hold any Original Remote button and

move the Original Remote to the left and right, and/

or, up and down in front of the Learning remote IR

transmitter. The red indicator will remain on if no IR

from the Original remote is found and the red

indicator will blink on and off more rapidly when the

IR transmitters are lining up. The point where the

red indicator blinks most rapidly is where the two IR

transmitters are aligned. Note some original remotes

will only transmit IR on the initial button press then

stop. In these cases, quickly press and release the

original remote button repeatedly during this

procedure.

6. You can now learn a button from your original

remote by continuing from “Step 4” in the

“Learning Commands” section on the next page, or,

to exit at this point, press and release the SETUP

button

IR Transmitter Finder Feature

h. Keep the distance between the two remotes to

approximately 1 inch and do not move or change the

distance between the two remotes until you have

learned all the required buttons for that Mode.

i. When Learning, do not release the button being

Learned until the red indicator has blinked off for

half a second.

j. Avoid learning your original remote Volume/Mute

buttons unless you are sure these operate the same

device e.g. some original DVD remotes include TV

Volume/Mute button control and can be two

different types of code.

k. Avoid learning your original remote VCR transport

buttons unless you are sure these operate the same

device e.g. some original TV remotes include VCR

button control and can be two different types of

code.

l. If learning the first or second buttons for a Mode

results in continuous errors then try the following:

i. End the Learn session by pressing the SETUP

button.

ii. Clear out the learned commands for that Mode.

iii. Check the IR transmitters are correctly aligned

between the two remotes (use the IR Transmitter

Finder facility).

iv. Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be

closer (e.g. half an inch) or a further away (e.g. 2

inches) from each other.

v. Try learning the original remote for that Mode again.

If problems reoccur with the same button check the

original remote button being learned – does it transmit?

Does it operate the target device? Try learning that

button under a different clear Mode. If it learns okay

then it is likely to be a different code type from the

others and cannot be learned under the same Mode.
