Battery Saver
Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if
any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. This saves your battery life should
your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
between sofa cushions.

Tip: This remote is already programmed to operate many Samsung-branded TVs
and DVD players, RCA-branded VCRs, Tivo-branded DVRs, DIRECTV-branded
satellite, and Sony-branded audio receivers. Just press the corresponding key—
Your universal remote requires three AAA alkaline batteries (not included).
To install the batteries:
1.
Remove the battery compartment cover.

Insert the batteries, matching the (+) and (–) marks
inside the battery compartment.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment system, first you need
to program it to control your devices. There are four ways you can program the
universal remote to operate your devices:
Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes for the
device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest method, but it can sometimes
take longer than some of the other programming methods.
Brand Code Search searches through the codes for select brands of
devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code search, but it can be faster.
Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying code
list for your brand of device. It’s not as easy as the other methods, but it’s
potentially the fastest method. Note: Direct Code Entry is usually the best
method to use for audio devices.
Manual Code Search lets you manually go through all the codes for
the device you’re trying to control.
Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes for the device

Code Retrieval
Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices, you may want to
record the codes for future reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method,
this is easy. Just find the codes you entered and make a note of them in the
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to program your
remote or if you used the Direct Entry method but don’t remember the code, you
will need to retrieve each device’s five-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and
writing it down will save you time if you ever need to program the remote again.
If the codes are recorded, you can use the Direct Entry method to reprogram
your remote to control your devices, which is quick and easy.

remote. The IR LED on the original remote should be pointing directly at
the learning remote’s learning sensor, located on the top of the remote. The

Learning
Codes from the Code Lists include basic functionality for each component they
control. Once you have programmed in the code for your specific component,
you can customize the universal remote to include certain functions from your
original remote(s) that were not embedded in the preset code. Your universal
remote has the ability to learn and store commands from your original remote(s)
under the mode(s) of your choice. The universal remote can store up to 50 key
commands.* Only one original remote can be learned under any one mode (e.g.,
the universal remote can learn commands for one TV remote, one VCR remote,
etc.).
