Setup (cont.)  
Programming Combo Device Codes  
SettingALLVolume/Mute Controls toAny  
Mode  
Some combo (combination) devices (TV/VCR, TV/DVD,  
DVD/VCR, etc.) require you to set up 2 different modes  
to control both parts of the combo.  
You can set all modes to “punch-through” to any mode  
for Volume/Mute control without needing to change to  
that mode by doing the following.  
For example, if you have a TV/DVD combo, you might  
need to set up one code under the TV mode to control  
the TV and a separate code (under other modes) to  
control the DVD.  
1. Press and hold SETUP until the indicator remains on,  
then release SETUP.  
2. Press and hold MUTE until the indicator blinks off,  
then release the button.  
VCR/DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature  
3. Press and release SELECT to select the desired  
mode (TV, VCR, etc.) for Volume/Mute control; the  
indicator blinks, then stays on.  
4. Press and release MUTE; the indicator turns off.  
Note: The indicator will blink rapidly for 3 seconds if  
the mode you have selected does not have Volume/  
Mute control.  
This remote allows the 6 VCR buttons (PLAY, PAUSE,  
STOP, SCAN+, SCAN-, and REC) to “punch-through”  
(transmit or hand-over) control from any mode pro-  
grammed with TV or Cable codes to the last VCR, DVD,  
or DVR mode used.  
5. All other modes will now “punch-through” to your  
chosen mode for Volume/Mute control.  
For example, if you have 2 DVD, VCR, or DVR devices  
programmed into this remote, the last device you used  
controls the 6 VCR buttons.  
SettingAny Mode to Use its Own Volume/  
Mute Control  
Note: 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.  
You can set any mode to use only its own Volume/Mute  
control.  
Volume/Mute Control and Punch-Through  
Feature  
Note: If your chosen mode does not have Volume/Mute  
functions, then this remote’s VOLUME and MUTE will  
not operate.  
Your remote allows you to select which device mode  
controls VOLUME and MUTE.  
1. Press and hold SETUP until the indicator remains on,  
then release SETUP.  
This remote is initially set for all device modes to use  
their own Volume/Mute control if present.  
2. Press and hold MUTE until the indicator blinks off,  
then release the button.  
3. Press and release SELECT to select the desired  
mode (TV, VCR, etc.); the indicator blinks, then  
stays on.  
4. Press and release VOLUME- (down); the indicator  
blinks, then stays on.  
5. Press and release MUTE; the indicator turns off.  
6. All modes will now “punch-through” to the  
respective modes you have chosen for Volume/  
Mute control.  
If the programmed code does not have Volume/Mute  
operation, then VOLUME and MUTE will “punch-  
through” (hand-over) control to the TV-mode device  
without you needing to change to TV mode. Note: Any  
mode chosen for Volume/Mute control must have its  
own Volume/Mute function or else VOLUME and MUTE  
will not function.

Code Learning  
Tips On Learning (cont.)  
Your remote is equipped with an easy “learning” feature  
that lets it “learn” features (such as RANDOM PLAY  
from your original CD remote).  
Keys that you normally give a quick press (like the  
numbers, and channel up/down) will likely require a  
quick press when learning. If after learning, say, the  
channel-up key, you find that it changes multiple  
channels when pressed once, try relearning it with a  
short key press.  
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,  
VCR codes under the VCR mode, etc. If you are trying  
to learn from a “universal” type original 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 band of remote you are trying to learn  
from.  
If learning the first or second keys results in  
continuous errors, then try the following:  
1. Check that the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly  
aligned between the two remotes (see next page).  
2. Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be  
closer (1/2 an inch) or further away (2 inches) from  
each other.  
3. Try learning the original remote keys again.  
4. If problems reoccur with the same button, check the  
original remote key being learned – does it transmit?  
Does it operate the target device?  
Keep the following in mind about learning codes.  
Some functions from some types of remotes might  
not be able to be learned.  
No functions may be learned under the LEARN,  
SETUP, and SELECT keys.  
5. Clear all learned settings and try learning again.  
If problems reoccur with the same button, check the  
original remote button being learned to see if there is  
transmission.  
Use fresh batteries for both your new remote and  
your original remote.  
Keep at least 3 feet away from incandescent or low-  
energy lights when learning.  
Try learning that button under a different cleared mode,  
if necessary.  
Place the original remote end-to-end with your new  
remote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your  
original remote points at the IR learning device on  
If the remote learns, then this situation is likely a  
different code type from others and cannot be learned  
under the same mode.  
the bottom of your new remote.  
Keep the distance between the two remotes to  
approximately 1 inch.  
Line up the remotes and then press the key you  
want to learn. To get the correct range, press the key  
on the remote you are learning. Do not change the  
distance between the two remotes until you have  
learned all the required keys.  
When Learning, do not release the button being  
Learned until the indicator has blinked off for half a  
second. However, some keys might be learned  
multiple times if you do this. If this happens, just  
“tap” the key you want to learn rather than press  
and hold it. For example, keys that you normally  
hold down for awhile (like volume up or down) will  
likely require a long press when learning.

IR Transmitter Finder  
Learning Commands  
This feature assists you in identifying where your  
original remote’s infrared (IR) transmitter is located.  
The learning feature lets your remote “learn” functions  
from your original remote control.  
This feature is particularly useful if your original  
remote’s IR transmitter is hidden behind a lens.  
1. Press and hold SETUP until the indicator remains on,  
then release SETUP.  
2. Repeatedly press and release SELECT to select the  
desired mode (TV, VCR, etc.).  
3. Press and release LEARN; the indicator blinks, then  
stays on.  
4. Press and release the button that you want to learn  
(for instance, POWER).  
5. Point your original remote at the bottom of your new  
remote until they are about 1 inch apart.  
6. Press and hold the original remote button (for  
instance, Power) until the indicator blinks once, then  
stays on. If there is a learning problem, the indicator  
blinks for 3 seconds and stays on. If this happens,  
repeat Steps 4 to 6.  
1. Point your remotes so that the top of your existing  
remote faces the bottom of your new remote and the  
remotes are about 1 inch apart (see picure on next  
page).  
2. Press and hold SETUP until the indicator remains on,  
then release SETUP.  
3. Repeatedly press and release SELECT to select the  
desired mode (TV, VCR, etc.).

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 IR transmitter.  
7. Repeat Steps 4-6 for other buttons you want your  
remote to learn.  
Note1: The indicator will remain on if there is not any IR  
from the original remote. The indicator will blink on and  
off more rapidly when the IR transmitters are lining up.  
The point where the indicator blinks most rapidly is  
where the two IR transmitters are aligned.  
8. Press and release SETUP when all desired remote  
commands are learned. Code learning is now  
complete.
