The Favorites feature is what really sets this remote
apart from other remotes. It lets you go to your favorite
channel(s) by simply pressing a button next to a sticker
(or label) that represents that favorite channel.
To switch from User 1 to User 2 or vice versa, move the
switch on the back of the remote. Doing so “flips” the
stickers for the appropriate set of 10 FAVORITES, for
either User 1 or User 2, into view.
Flip switch in
either direction
for User 1 or
User 2

FAVORITE
icons
1. Flip the switch on the back of the remote to either
position (in this case, we’ll call this position User 1).
2. Press and hold SETUP until the indicator remains on,
then release SETUP.
3. Repeatedly press SELECT to select the desired
mode (TV, VCR, etc.), unless the desired device is
already selected. This sets the device that this
favorite button controls.
4. Press one of the 10 FAVORITE buttons to set up a
favorite channel. Let’s say we select the top right-
hand FAVORITE button.
5. Enter the channel number for this favorite channel.
Note: You can use up to 5 buttons, including 0 through
9, OK, and - to enter your favorite channel: 550,
472Enter, 162OK, 5-7, etc., are examples.
6. Press SETUP when you’ve finished entering the
channel.
After setting up your favorite, do the following.
7. Attach the sticker that represents the favorite
channel you set up above to the location next to
that FAVORITE button. (In the example on p. 11,
we’ve used an ABC sticker.)
Note: If you can’t find a sticker for one of your
your favorites. Do a search by using the key words
television logos. Find the logo you need. Right-click the
logo and save this logo somewhere on your computer.
Print the logo. If the logo needs adjustment, you can
use Microsoft Paint, etc. Cut out the logo and paste it
next to your FAVORITE button.
Follow Steps 1 through 7 to set up more favorites, each
time selecting a different FAVORITE button in Step 4,
and entering a different channel number in
Step 5. Then place the appropriate sticker next to the
FAVORITE button, as in Step 7.
Adjusting the Delay Between Digits
After you’ve set up all 10 favorites (or fewer if you
don’t want to set all of them up), you can set the switch
on the back of the remote to the other position (e.g., or
for instance, User 2) and then repeat Steps 1 through 7
to set up another group of favorites for another user.
You might need to adjust the time between digits sent
for a favorite channel. If the delay is too long you might
point the remote away from your device before all the
digits have been sent. If the delay is too short your
device might not respond.
To go to your favorite channel, simply press the
FAVORITE button next to the sticker that represents
the icon for that channel.
1. Press and hold SETUP until the indicator remains
on, then release SETUP.
2. Press and release PLAY. The indicator blinks, then
stays on.
3. Press and release a number from 0 to 9. 0 is no delay
and 9 is the longest delay.

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.).
4. Press and release LEARN; the indicator blinks, then

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.
