Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search is a process where you can search through all of the codes stored in the remote to find a code for your device.
It is recommended that you manually turn on the device that you wish to control.

1. Enter Setup Mode

  • Press and hold down the SETUP button on the remote until the red light on the remote control turns on. Release the SETUP button. The red light will remain on.

    NOTE: The red light will either be a small light at the top of the remote or the power ON/OFF button.

2. Press the Device Type Button

  • Press and release the device button on the remote for the type of device you wish to control, (for example TV, STR, BLU-RAY, AUD, DVD, CBL, SAT, AUX). The red light will blink once and remain on.

3. Start Code Search

  • With the remote pointed at the device, press and release the POWER button on the remote. The remote will send 10 different codes to the device. The red light will blink once for each code and remain on after sending the 10 codes.

    Did the device turn off?

    • If YES, go to step 4.

    • If NO, repeat Step 3 to test the next 10 codes after manually turning device back on.

4. Review Individual Codes

  • With the remote pointed at the device, press and release the VOL ^ button. The remote will re-send the first code of the 10 codes from Step 2. The red light will blink once and remain on.

    Did the device turn off?

    If YES, you have found a code for the device. Press and release the same device button you pressed in Step 2. This will store the code in the remote. Go to Step 5.

    If NO, continue to press and release the VOL ^ button until the device turns off to test the other 9 codes from Step 3. Be sure to wait approximately 3 seconds after each VOL ^ button press to allow the device time to respond to the code. When the device turns off, you have found a code for your device. Press and release the same device button pressed in Step 3. This will store the code in the remote. Go to Step 5.

    NOTE:

    • The VOL down button can be used to go backward through each batch of 10 codes.

    • The red indicator light will flash 2 times after testing the first or last code in each batch of 10.

5. Test the Results

  • Point the remote at the device. Test the buttons on the remote to see if the device responds as you would expect. If the buttons do not operate the device, return to Step 1 above and use the next code in the list.

5. Repeat the Process for Other Devices
