Installing Your Batteries  
TV Volume/Mute Punch-Through Feature  
1. On the back of the remote,  
push down on the tab and  
lift off the cover.  
2. Insert two AAA alkaline  
batteries matching the  
polarity (+ and -) marked  
inside.  
The TV Volume/Mute punch-through feature lets you  
control the Volume and Mute function of your TV in any  
mode programmed to be a VCR, DVD, CABLE or SAT  
device, without needing to change to TV mode.  
VCR/DVD Punch-Through Feature  
3. Replace the battery cover.  
Punch-through to VCR/DVD mode i.e. the 6 keys (PLAY,  
PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) is only allowed  
in modes programmed for TV or Cable codes.  
Battery Saver  
Your remote automatically  
turns off if the buttons are  
depressed more than 30  
seconds. This saves your  
batteries in case your remote  
gets stuck in a place where the  
buttons remain depressed  
(e.g., between the sofa  
cushions).  
Code Setup  
The CODE SEARCH button is used to setup the remote.  
You can either setup the remote using the code for your  
brand of product, from the code tables (on separate  
sheet), or you can search through the library of codes  
until you find a code that works for your product.  
Please refer to “Programming with Code Search” on page  
11 for more information on using the code search feature  
to learn how to search through the library of codes for  
your products.  
NOTE: You can store any kind of code under any mode  
(except TV). I.E. you can store a VCR code under the  
SAT/CBL button, or a Cable code under the VCR/DVD  
button, etc. However, you can only store TV codes  
under the TV button.  
Code Saver  
You will have up to 10 minutes to change the batteries  
in your remote without losing the codes you have  
programmed. However, do not press any buttons until  
batteries are installed in the remote. If buttons are  
pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will be  
lost.

are referred to by different names on the device you are  
controlling. E.G. PREV.CHAN may be called RECALL, or  
ENTER may be called DISPLAY. These differences depend  
on the brand and model of your product. Also, this  
remote can only operate features that exist on your  
product. E.G., your product must have PREV.CHAN  
ability for the PREV.CHAN button to operate this feature.

DVD programmed under a Mode other than VCR. This  
remote punches-through to the last VCR or DVD device  
you used. For example, if you have 3 DVD/VCR devices  
programmed into this remote, the last one you accessed  
on the remote will be the one that has control of the 6  
VCR/DVD buttons when in any other mode.

(referring to the Direct Code Entry section on the  
following page) you might need to set up a code under  
the TV button to control the TV part of the combo unit  
AND a separate code for the VCR or DVD under any  
other button you choose.

Using the SleepTimer  
Code Identification  
The Sleep button accesses the sleep function of your  
TV if it has that feature. If it does not, you can enable  
the remote to turn off your TV after a period of 1 to 99  
minutes, as shown below. The remote must be in TV  
mode to set a Sleep Timer. This feature works even if  
your TV does not have a sleep feature.  
Code Identification Feature  
The Code Identification Feature allows you to identify  
the three digit library code stored under your device key.  
For example, if you want to find out what three-digit  
code is stored under your TV device key, follow the six  
steps below:  
1. Press and release the TV Mode button.  
2. Press and hold the SLEEP button until red indicator  
remains on (occurring after approx. 2-3 seconds).  
1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the  
red indicator stays on. Release the CODE SEARCH  
button.  
2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV,  
VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks, and then stays  
lit.  
3. Press and release the CODE SEARCH button. The  
red indicator blinks off.  
4. To find the first digit for the code stored under the  
mode button you 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.  
3. Release the SLEEP button.  
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.  
6. Repeat step 4 again to find the third digit.  
5. Leave your Remote pointing towards  
the TV with an unobstructed path.  
To cancel the Sleep Timer, press and hold the SLEEP key  
for 2-3 seconds until the red indicator blinks or press  
and release the POWER button in TV Mode.
