SETUP PROCEEDINGS
To control component brands other than Philips/Magnavox, you’ll need to perform the following steps to manually program the remote with codes listed. [To get codes, visit previous post]
The
following chart lists the remote component keys and what type of device each
key will control:
Key Programmed to Control
TV TV
VCR VCR or DVD
CBL Cable Box
AUD Amplifier/ReceiverCompletely read and review the following steps before proceeding. Recommend to highlight the codes, for the brands you wish to program.
DIRECT CODE ENTRY
- Manually turn on a component (e.g.,TV,VCR, etc.) and, if applicable, insert media (e. g., cassette).
- On the remote control, press a component key once (e.g., TV,VCR,CBL, or AUD).
- Press and hold SET (approximately 5 seconds) until the red light blinks twice, then release SET.
- Enter the first four-digit code for your brand of component. If performed correctly, the red light will blink twice.
- Aim the remote control at the component and press POWER ONCE. It should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat steps 2 and 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try using Auto Scan on how to program your component.
- Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each component you want to program into the remote control.
Press each key within
10 seconds of the previous entry. Otherwise,
the remote control will exit the programming mode. If you press SET at
any time (except during step 3), the remote control will exit the programming
mode without saving your entries. You will have to start with step 1 to begin
programming again.
AUTO SCAN
If your
component does not respond to the remote control after trying all codes listed
for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your
code using Auto Scan. For
example, to search for a code for a TV:
- On the remote control, press TV once.
- Press and hold SET until the red light blinks twice, then release SET.
- Aim the remote control at the TV and press SCAN. The red light will blink twice.
- Continue aiming the remote control at the TV (which may take up to 5 minutes) until it turns off. Immediately press any key except VOL-, LAST, SCAN, or SET.
- To lock in the code and exit Auto Scan, press and release SET the red light will blink twice.
- To search for codes of other components, repeat steps 2 through 5, but substitute the appropriate key (e.g.,VCR, CBL) for the (VCR or Cable) component you are searching for.
- If SCAN is pressed again after any key stops Auto Scan, the remote will continue Auto Scan of the next ID from where it stopped. If you have passed by the code that turns off the TV, press VOL- one or more times until the TV turns on again.
- In the search mode, the remote will send IR (infrared) codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.
