As one example, you can usethis remote to operate your set-top, your TV, andtwo other devices, such as a DVD player andVCR.Important Information AboutYour RemoteYour remote is initially programmed to only operateyour set-top. Therefore, you must program theremote to operate your TV, VCR, or other devices.See Program the Remote to Control MyDevices to learn how to enter device codes andprogram your remote.Notes:• You must program a HomeID before using thisremote.• You must also program a Decoder ID if you areusing multiple remotes per set-top.How Does A Universal RemoteControl Work?You tell the remote which type of device you wantto operate using the four keys arched across thetop of the remote. These keys, known as modekeys, are labeled STB, TV, DVD, and AUX.Each mode key is associated with a specificdevice. As an example, after programming theremote, if you want the remote to operate yourTV, you simply press the TV key. Other keys youpress on the remote, thereafter, should operateyour TV. Want to switch the remote to operate adifferent device? Just press the mode key for thenext device you want to operate. In this guide, youwill learn which types of devices you can controland how to program the remote to control yourspecific devices.Where Do I Start?Before you begin using your remote, complete thefollowing initial setup tasks.Install the BatteriesThe remote requires two AA batteries (alkalinerecommended). A diagram in the battery compartmentof the remote indicates proper placement of thebatteries. When batteries are properly installed, thelight on the remote blinks each time a key ispressed.About HomeIDThe set-top is equipped with an RF receiver.Programming the HomeID in the remote is necessarywhen RF is used to transmit signals to the set-topfrom the remote in order to limit interference withset-tops in other rooms or in your neighbors’ homes.Go to the Program HomeID section of this guide forinstructions.Note: The remote uses IR signals when programmingthe HomeID and to control devices other than theset-top.Program the Remote to ControlMy DevicesYour remote is initially programmed to only operateyour set-top. You will need to set up the remote tooperate your other devices using its TV, DVD, andAUX modes. The TV key may be programmed tooperate a standard or high-definition television(HDTV). The DVD key may be programmed tooperate a DVD player. The AUX key may beprogrammed to operate a VCR, a receiver, anamplifier, or a Home Theater in a Box (HTIB)system. If the remote provides only limitedfunctionality for a device, you can look for a codethat provides more functionality. Refer to the codetables at the end of this guide to locate additionalprogramming codes.Note: You have the option to assign some remotekeys to operate one device type only. For example,you may want to assign volume control to the TV only.If this is the case, you can reprogram power, volume,and channel control using procedures found later inthis guide.Assigning a Device Code to a Mode Key1. Refer to the code tables at the end of this guide tolocate the information for the device you want toprogram.Note: If your device is not listed, you may be able toprogram the remote using the Auto-Search function.Go to What If None of the Codes Work forinstructions.2. Turn on the device that you want to assign to amode key.3. Press and hold the appropriate mode key (TV,DVD, or AUX) on the remote, and then press andhold the OK key.4. Release both keys and the mode keys blink twice.5. Enter the first 4-digit setup code for the device usingthe numeric keys (0-9) on the remote. The mode keyblinks three times to indicate that the code entry wasaccepted.Notes:• When an invalid code is entered, the selectedmode key displays a long flash to indicate thatyou have not entered the code correctly.• Should the remote time-out before you completethe code setup, you must start over. This isindicated by one long flash of the red LED.6. Point the remote at the device, and press POWERto test the device.7. Did the device power off?• If yes, write this code number in the table foundin this guide. You may need it again if the devicecode is accidentally erased.• If no, repeat this procedure from step 3 using adifferent setup code.Note: If none of the codes listed for your brand ofdevice operate the device correctly, go to What IfNone of the Codes Work for instructions.8. Repeat this procedure for each mode key you wantto program.What If None of the Codes Work?If none of the codes listed for your brand of deviceoperate the device correctly, or if your device is notlisted in the codes table, you can use the Auto-Searchfunction to search through the code library for a validcode. This section provides procedures for using theAuto-Search function to search the code library forTV, DVD and AUX mode codes.Note: Read the procedures in this section thoroughlybefore beginning. You need to be prepared toobserve the behavior of the remote.Auto-Search FeaturesConsider the following items when using Auto-Search:• The Auto-Search function begins searching fromthe first code.• If a valid code is not found, the green backlight blinkstwice and the remote returns to normal operation.• If any other key is pressed except PLAY, ENTER,POWER, EXIT, REW, FF, or numeric keys 1 through4 (when programming the AUX mode key), themode key displays a long red flash (error message)and the remote returns to normal operation.• Should the remote time-out before you complete theAuto-Search function you must start over. This isindicated by one long flash of the red LED.• If the device is not listed and the Auto-Search functionis unable to find a usable code, you may need to usethe original remote provided with the device.Auto-Searching the Code Library forTV or DVD Mode Codes(Program Code 922)Note: This procedure only applies to TVs and DVDs.1. Turn on the device you that you want to assign to theTV or DVD key.2. Point the remote at the device.3. Press and while holding a selected mode key (TV orDVD), press the OK key. For example, to search fora TV code, press and hold TV and OK at the sametime.4. Release both keys and all the mode keys blinktwice.5. Enter the programming code 9 2 2 by pressing thenumeric keys on the remote. The mode key youselected in step 3 blinks twice to indicate asuccessful entry.6. Point the remote toward the device, and pressPLAY.7. Your device powers off when it finds the correctcode. Then, choose one of the following options:• Save code and exit – Press the ENTER key onthe remote to program the code in the remote andthe mode key flashes three times indicatingsuccessful entry.• Step forward – Press the fast-forward (FF) keyon the remote to step ahead through the codesone at a time. Then, return to step 6.• Step backward – Press the rewind (REW) key onthe remote to step back through the codes one ata time. Then, return to step 6.• Exit without saving the code – Press the EXITkey on the remote. The selected mode keyflashes three times and returns to normaloperation.• Send the current code – Press the POWER keyon the remote to send the current code. If thedevice turns back on, press the ENTER key. If thedevice does not turn on, return to step 6.• Continue with auto-search function – Press thePLAY key on the remote to continue with the auto-search function. Then, return to step 6.Auto-Searching the Code Library forAUX Mode Codes (Program Code 922)1. Turn on the device that you want to assign to theAUX key.2. Point the remote at the device.3. Press and while holding the AUX key, press the OKkey.4. Release both the AUX key and the OK key and allthe mode keys blink twice.5.

Press the PLAY key, choose one of the followingdevice categories and then, using the number keyson the remote, press its assigned number (1 – 4)based on the following list:1 = VCRs 2 = Receiver/Tuners3 = Amplifiers 4 = HTIBNote: The device categories are number-coded toprovide a more direct programming method.7. Point the remote toward the device, and pressPLAY.8. Your device powers off when it finds the correctcode. Then, choose one of the following options:• Save code and exit – Press the ENTER key onthe remote to program the code in the remote andthe mode key flashes three times indicatingsuccessful entry.• Step forward – Press the fast-forward (FF) keyon the remote to step ahead through the codesone at a time. Then, return to step 7.• Step backward – Press the rewind (REW) key onthe remote to step back through the codes one ata time. Then, return to step 7.• Exit without saving the code – Press the EXITkey on the remote. The selected mode keyflashes three times and returns to normaloperation.• Send the current code – Press the POWER keyon the remote to send the current code. If thedevice turns back on, press the ENTER key. If thedevice does not turn on, return to step 7.• Continue with auto-search function – Press thePLAY key on the remote to continue with the auto-search function. Then, return to step 7.Reassign Mode KeysYou can reassign a mode key to operate a differentdevice. For example, you can reassign the AUX keyto operate a DVD player or a TV. If you reassign akey, be sure you update the table found in this guide.Reassigning Mode Keys(Program Code 944)1. Press and hold the STB mode key on the remote.2. Without releasing the STB key, press and hold theOK key.3. Release both the keys and all mode keys flashtwice.4. Enter the programming code 9 4 4 by pressing thenumeric keys on the remote. The STB mode keyblinks twice indicating a successful entry.5. Press and release the mode key associated with thetype of device you want to control, and then pressand release the mode key that you want to change.The newly assigned mode key blinks one timeindicating a successful entry.For example: To program the AUX key to operateyour DVD player, press DVD and then AUX.Program HomeID(Program Code 914)Programming the HomeID in the remote is necessarywhen radio frequency (RF) is used to transmit signalsto the set-top from the remote.The set-top is equipped with an RF receiver. Whenusing an RF remote, a HomeID is required for propercommunication between the RF remote and the set-top. After the appropriate assignment, the RF remotewill then be uniquely used for the assigned set-top.The use of RF in the remote enables “through walls”control of the set-top. It may be used to transmitinstructions from another room. The use of HomeIDalso limits any interference with set-tops in otherrooms or in your neighbors’ homes.All RF devices have the HomeID set to 000 by default.Complete the following steps to set a new HomeID.1. Ensure that the set-top is plugged into an electricaloutlet and that you have the remote in the sameroom as the set-top.2. Press and hold the STB mode key on the remote.3. Without releasing the STB mode key, press andhold the OK key.4. Release both the STB mode key and the OK key.You should see all the mode keys flash red twotimes. This indicates that you are now ready to enterthe HomeID code.5. Enter the 3-digit code 9 1 4 by pressing the numberkeys on the remote. You should see the STB modekey flash red two times. This indicates that you havesuccessfully entered the code.6. Now enter your own choice of a 3-digit code from000 to 255 by pressing the number keys on theremote. This will be your unique new HomeID code.Be sure to record your HomeID in the spaceprovided at the end of this section.Notes:• If a valid HomeID code is entered, the STB modekey will flash red two times. This indicates that youhave successfully entered a valid HomeID code(000 to 255). Go to step 7 of this procedure.• If an invalid HomeID code is entered, the STBmode key will display a long red flash. This indicatesthat you have not entered a valid HomeID code(000 to 255). The remote then returns to normaloperation. You will have to start over from step 1 ofthis procedure.7. Point the remote toward the set-top and then pressthe ENTER key on the remote. The remotetransmits the HomeID code using IR. The red LEDwill illuminate during transmission of the HomeIDcode.8. To store your new HomeID code into the remotecode, press the ENTER key on the remote again.Notes:• If any other key is pressed except the number keysand the ENTER key, the remote will not accept anychanges or updates. The STB mode key will displaya long red flash and the remote returns to normaloperation.• If the remote times out before you completeprogramming the HomeID code, the remote will notaccept any changes. You will have to start over fromstep 1 of this procedure.Program Decoder ID(Program Code 912)Programming the Decoder ID is necessary to identifyeach set-top box assigned to different rooms in thehome or office. All RF devices have the Decoder IDset to 00 by default. Complete the following steps toset a new Decoder ID.1. Ensure that the set-top is plugged into an electricaloutlet and that you have the remote in the sameroom as the set-top.2. Press and hold the STB mode key on the remote.3. Without releasing the STB mode key, press andhold the OK key.4. Release both the STB mode key and the OK key.You should see all the mode keys flash red twotimes. This indicates that you are now ready to enterthe Decoder ID code.5. Enter the 3-digit code 9 1 2 by pressing the numberkeys on the remote. You should see the STB modekey flash red two times. This indicates that you havesuccessfully entered the code.6. Now enter your own Decoder ID choice of either 1,2, or 3 by pressing the number keys on the remote.This will be your unique new Decoder ID code. Besure to record your new Decoder ID in the spaceprovided at the end of this section.Notes:• If a valid Decoder ID code is entered, the STB modekey will flash red three times. This indicates thatyou have successfully entered a valid Decoder IDcode (1, 2, or 3). The new valid Decoder ID isstored into the EEPROM of the remote. Theremote then returns to normal operation.• If an invalid Decoder ID code is entered, the STBmode key will display a long red flash. Thisindicates that you have not entered a validDecoder ID code (1, 2, or 3). The remote thenreturns to normal operation. You will have to startover from step 1 of this procedure.Notes:• If any key other than the required digit key and theon-display menu control keys are pressed duringthe Decoder ID programming, the STB mode keywill display a long red flash and the remote will returnto normal operation.• If the remote times out before you completeprogramming the Decoder ID code, the remote willnot accept any changes. You will have to start overfrom step 1 of this procedure.• If you are unable to program a new Decoder ID, theprevious Decoder ID is retained.Change Volume ControlBy default, once the TV mode key is programmed witha valid code, the volume and mute buttons controlyour TV. These keys adjust the volume of your TVhigher, lower, or temporarily switch the volume off(Mute), regardless of whether the remote is in STB,TV, DVD, or AUX mode.If you prefer, you can choose to have the volume andmute buttons always control a different device ratherthan your TV, such as a home theater receiver. (SeeControlling Volume for One Device below.) Notethat you must first program one of the mode keys,such as AUX, with a valid code for that device.Alternatively, you can choose to have the volume andmute buttons control different devices when theremote is in different modes. For example, you mightwant to control the volume on your TV when in TVmode, but the volume on your home theater receiverwhen in AUX mode. (See Controlling Volume forDifferent Devices below.) Note that not all deviceshave volume controls, so if you choose this option, thevolume and mute buttons may do nothing in somemodes, such as STB and DVD.Controlling Volume for One Device(Program Code 955)1. Press and hold the STB mode key on the remote.2. Without releasing the STB key, press and hold theOK key.3. Release both keys and all mode keys blink twice.4. Enter the programming code 9 5 5 by pressing thenumber keys on the remote. The STB mode keyblinks twice indicating a successful entry.T12121P OWERSTBTVAUXDVDModeKey DeviceType Brand CodeExample: DVD Sony 2066TVDVDAUX5. Press and release the mode key for the device youwant the volume keys to control. For example, if youwant to control volume through your TV, press andrelease TV. The selected mode key blinks threetimes to indicate a successful entry.The volume keys now control only one devicewhether you are in STB, TV, DVD, or AUX mode.Controlling Volume for DifferentDevices (Program Code 955)1. Complete steps 1 through 4 of the ControllingVolume for One Device procedure.2. Press and release the Enter key. The STB modekey blinks three times to indicate a successful entry.After you press the Enter key, the volume keys controlthe device assigned to that mode. For example, in TVmode, the volume keys control volume for the TV only.Notes:• If any other key is pressed except the Mode keys andthe ENTER key, the remote does not accept anychanges or updates. The STB mode key displays along red flash and the remote returns to normaloperation.• If the remote times out before you completeprogramming volume control, the remote does notaccept any changes. You must start over from step1 of this procedure.Change Channel ControlThe remote is set by default to control channelselection on the set-top. You can also programchannel control to control any of the TV, DVD, or AUXmode devices provided the device allows for channelcontrol assignment. Or, you can set the channelselection control programming to control channels (orpage up or down) for all of the devices programmedin the four mode keys. Otherwise, you can onlycontrol channels (or page up or down) on a specificdevice, for example, the TV or DVD.Note: The channel control keys include CH/Page,Jump, and the numeric keys 0 through 9.Controlling Channels for One Device(Program Code 966)1. Press and hold the STB mode key on the remote.2. Without releasing the STB key, press and hold theOK key.3. Release both keys and all mode keys blink twice.4. Enter the programming code 9 6 6 by pressing thenumeric keys on the remote. The STB mode keyblinks twice to indicate a successful entry.5. Press and release the mode key for the device youwant the channel key to control. For example, if youwant to control channels on your TV, press andrelease TV. The selected mode key blinks threetimes to indicate a successful entry.The channel key now always controls the deviceassociated with the mode you selected in thisprocedure, whether in STB, TV, DVD, or AUX mode.Controlling Channels for DifferentDevices (Program Code 966)1. Complete steps 1 through 4 of the ControllingChannels for One Device procedure.2. Press and release the Enter key. The STB modekey blinks three times to indicate a successfulentry.After you press the Enter key, the channel key nowcontrols the device associated with the mode key youselect. For example, in TV mode, the channel keycontrols the TV, but in STB mode, the channel keycontrols the set-top.Notes:• If any other key is pressed except the Mode keysand the ENTER key, the remote does not acceptany changes or updates. The STB mode keydisplays a long red flash and the remote returns tonormal operation.• If the remote times out before you completeprogramming channel selection control, the remotedoes not accept any changes. You must start overfrom step 1 of this procedure.Change Power ControlThe POWER key on the remote is set by default tocontrol the power switch on one device at a time, ineither mode (STB, TV, DVD, or AUX). When in STBmode, the remote switches the set-top from OFF(standby mode) to ON, or from ON to OFF (standbymode). However, you can alternatively program thePOWER key to control the power switch on up to fourdevices at the same time, instead of controlling onedevice at a time. It is highly recommended that youset up the POWER key to turn on and off your set-topand your TV at the same time. Turning off the set-topsaves electricity and extends the life of the box. Whenturned off, the set-top can still record scheduledprograms on its DVR and perform any othernecessary functions.1 2ABC3DEF4 5JKL6MNO7 8TUVGHIPQRS9WXYZ0SPACEMUTEVOL GUIDE CHPGLASTMUTE LASTGUIDEPIPBROWSEINFOEXI TTOGOINTERACTIVEVIDEOBACKONIDEMANDSTOPPOWERRECORDREPLAYSKIPMENUPAUSEPLAYREWFFTV/VIDEOSTBTVAUXDVDRECORDEDTVB CADELETE ZOOMENTERTVDeviceControlDVR/VOD/DVD/VCRControlViewingandBrowsingControlNumericKeysEnterSoundControlDeleteT12120Quick ReferenceNotes:• You must program a HomeID before using thisremote.• You must also program a Decoder ID if you areusing multiple remotes per set-top.What Devices Can I Control?The four mode keys arched across the top of theremote tell the remote which device you want tooperate.Each mode key is associated with different types ofdevices. You can use each mode key to control oneof its associated devices:Mode Key Associated DevicesSTB IP gateway set-topTV* TVs (including HDTVs)DVD* DVD playersAUX* VCRs, receivers, tuners, andHome Theater in a Box (HTIB)* These keys can be reassigned to control differentdevices. Go to the Reassign Mode Keys sectionof this guide for instructions.LED IndicatorsThere are red LEDs underneath each of the four modekeys (STB, TV, DVD, and AUX) that flash each timea key is pressed to show which device the key iscurrently controlling.There are also green LEDs that illuminate severalkeys whenever the remote is in use. They stayilluminated for a short time after a key is pressed.During programming, if the remote times out beforeyou complete the code setup, you will need to startover. This is indicated by one long flash of the redLED.Device Program CodesIf you program codes to control your devices, recordthe codes here for easy reference.Record Your HomeID Code Here:____________________________________Record Your Decoder ID Code Here:_____________________________Device ControlPOWERTurns devices on or offSTBEnables set-top mode functionsTVEnables TV mode functionsDVDEnables DVD mode functionsAUXEnables AUX mode functionsDVR, VOD, DVD, VCR ControlNotes:• In STB mode, these keys control DVR and VODfunctions.• In DVD and AUX modes, these keys may controlyour DVD or VCR depending on how you haveprogrammed the remote.RECORDRecords the selected programSTOPStops DVD, VCR, VOD, or DVR contentPAUSEPauses DVD, VCR, VOD, or DVR contentPLAYPlays DVD, VCR, VOD, or DVR contentTV/VIDEO Scrolls through available TV or video inputsourcesREWFF Rewinds or fast forwards throughDVR or VOD contentREPLAYSKIP Skips backward or forward throughDVR or VOD contentViewing and Browsing ControlVIDEOONIDEMAND Accesses the On Demand MenuBACKReturns to the previous screenMENU Accesses the Main MenuRECORDEDTVAccesses the DVR list of recordingsGOI INTERACTIVE Enables interactive modeViewing and Browsing ControlMoves through selectionsSelects and deselects screen itemsEXITTOTVClears all menu screens and returns tobroadcast TVB CA Selects options in menus and theprogram guideINFO Displays text information about theselected programGUIDE Displays or closes the IPGLAST Returns to last channel viewedCHPGSelects the next channel, up or down,when watching TV.
