AUX light will turn off. In that case, repeat steps 2 through 5 with a valid code.

Aim the DRC at your auxiliary component and press POWER once (or

PLAY once if it’s a VCR). The device should turn off (or start playing the tape). If the auxiliary component does not respond, repeat steps 2-6, trying each code listed for your brand until you find the one that operates your auxiliary component.

If it still does not work with the DRC, try searching for the code (see

Searching For Your Code ).

Write down the auxiliary component type and its code in the spaces below for future reference.

TYPE: __________________

SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE

If your TV,VCR, Cable Converter or

Auxiliary Component does not respond to the DRC after trying all of the codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code.

1.

2.

For example, after trying all of the codes for your TV, you still cannot get the DRC to operate your TV, then:

Turn on your TV.

On the DRC, press and hold TV (at least 6 seconds) until you see the programming mode start. Each of the mode key lights will turn off and on sequentially, starting with AUX on through TV, and the sequence will repeat twice. During this time, release TV and wait until it’s lit continuously.

3.

Press the (UP) cursor key once to start the search mode.

NOTE: In the search mode, the DRC will send IR codes from its library to the selected component, starting with the most popular codes first. When the component responds to a subsequent key command (e.g., POWER), the correct device code will be found.

4.

5.

Press POWER once. The TV key will light on and off, showing that an IR code has been sent.

If your television does not turn off, press the UP cursor key once again to call up the next IR code and press

POWER once again.

6.

7.

8.

If your television still does not turn off, repeat step 5 as many times as needed until your TV turns off.

When your television does turn off, a working code has been found. Press

OK once to save the code and the TV key will blink three times, confirming the selection.

To search for the codes of your other components, repeat steps 1 through

7, but substitute the appropriate device key (i.e.,VCR, CABLE, or

AUX) for the component you are searching for.

NOTE: Remember, to use the DRC to operate your auxiliary component, press AUX first.
