SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE
If your TV,VCR, DIRECTV Receiver, or auxiliary device does not respond to the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control after trying all of the codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code. For example, to search for a code for your TV: 1. 2. Turn on your TV. On the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control, press TV once. Then press and hold Setup until the TV key blinks twice, then release Setup. Enter 9 - 9 - 1. The TV key will blink twice.
Aim the remote control at the TV and slowly alternate between pressing Power and TV. Stop when the TV turns off.
NOTE: In the search mode, the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control will send IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.
Press Setup once to lock in the code. To search for the codes of your other devices, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitute the appropriate key (i.e., VCR, AUX, or SAT) for the device you are searching for.

Page 24

CHECKING THE CODES
If you have set up the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control using the Searching For Your Code procedure (on the previous page), you may need to find out which fourdigit code is operating your equipment. For example, to find out which code is operating your TV: 1. 2. Turn on your TV. On the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control, press TV once. Then press and hold Setup until the TV key blinks twice, then release Setup. Enter 9 - 9 - 0.

To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once. Wait 3 seconds and count the number of LED blinks (e.g., 3 blinks = 3) and write down the number in the leftmost TV Code box on page 12.
NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the LED will not blink.
Repeat step 4 three more times for remaining digits. Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit. Finish writing down the code in the TV Code boxes (on page 12). To check for other device codes, repeat steps 1 to 5, but substitute the appropriate key (i.e., VCR, AUX, or SAT) for the device you are checking. Write down the codes in the appropriate boxes on pages 10 and 12.

USING THE MASTER POWER KEY
The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control is equipped with a unique feature that allows you to sequentially turn on or off all of your home entertainment devices with a single key press in the following way: 1. 2. Point the remote control at the devices. Press and hold Power for 3 seconds to activate the Master Power feature.Thereafter,your DIRECTV Universal Remote Control will sequentially turn on or off all of your home entertainment devices. Depending on what mode is currently selected, the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control will send IR commands to the devices in this order: Start Mode SAT TV VCR AUX Device On/Off TV,VCR,AUX VCR,AUX, SAT AUX, SAT, TV SAT, TV,VCR End Mode SAT SAT SAT SAT
For example, if TV is selected, pressing and holding Power for 3 seconds will first turn on (or off) the TV, then the VCR, then the auxiliary device, and finally the DIRECTV Receiver.
NOTE: The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control always defaults to the SAT mode after all devices are turned off. Therefore, the initial power-on settings will always be SAT, TV, VCR, and AUX, with the remote control returning to the SAT mode as long as no other device key is pressed first.

Page 26

RE-ASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS
The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control can be set up to control a second TV or VCR, or any combination of up to four home entertainment devices. For example, to have the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control a TV, a DIRECTV Receiver, and two VCRs, you will need to re-assign the unused AUX key to operate the second VCR as follows: 1. On the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control, press AUX once. Then press and hold Setup until the AUX key blinks twice, then release Setup. Enter 9 - 9 - 2.
Press VCR once, then press AUX once. The AUX key will blink twice. The AUX key is now ready to be programmed for your second VCR. See Programming Other Device Control on page 11.
To re-assign other device keys, repeat steps 1 to 4 and substitute the key sequence using the following chart: To Re-Assign VCR as 2nd TV key: Perform Key Sequence Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - TV - VCR

VCR as 2nd AUX key: Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - AUX - VCR VCR as 2nd SAT key: VCR back to VCR: AUX as 2nd TV key: AUX as 2nd VCR key: AUX as 2nd SAT key: AUX back to AUX: Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - SAT - VCR Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - VCR - VCR Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - TV - AUX Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - VCR - AUX Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - SAT - AUX Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - AUX - AUX
Upon completion of a re-assignment, the selected mode key will blink twice to confirm your selection. Then, youll need to program device control (see Programming Other Device Control on page 11).

CHANGING VOLUME LOCK
The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control is set to control volume of a device through your TV while in the TV,VCR, or SAT mode. However, in the AUX mode, you still have separate control of of your auxilary devices volume. If your TV is not remote controllable, or if you would like the volume to be controlled by a different device, you can change the Volume Lock setting to control a volume through a non-associated mode (e.g., through the VCR in the TV mode).
To Change Volume Lock To The VCR Mode:
1. On the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control, press VCR once. Then press and hold Setup until the VCR key blinks twice, then release Setup. Enter 9 - 9 - 3.
Press VCR once. It will blink twice. Now, whenever you press Volume or Mute, volume will be controlled by your VCR.
To Change Volume Lock To The SAT Mode (Selected Models Only) :
1. On the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control, press SAT once. Then press and hold Setup until the SAT key blinks twice,then release Setup. Enter 9 - 9 - 3.
Press SAT once. It will blink twice. Now, whenever you press Volume or Mute, volume will be controlled by your satellite receiver.
To Change Volume Lock To The AUX Mode:
NOTE: Performing these steps will allow you to access the volume control of your auxilary device in all modes.
On the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control, press AUX once. Then press and hold Setup until the AUXkey blinks twice, then release Setup.

Page 28

To Change Volume Lock To The AUX Mode (continued):

2. Enter 9 - 9 - 3.

Press AUX once. It will blink twice. Now, whenever you press Volume or Mute, volume will be controlled by your auxilary device.

To Change Volume Lock Back To The TV Mode:
1. On the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control, press TV once. Then press and hold Setup until the TV key blinks twice, then release Setup. Enter 9 - 9 - 3.
Press TV once. It will blink twice. Now, whenever you press Volume or Mute, volume will again be controlled by your TV.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: Mode key does not blink when you press a key. SOLUTION: Replace the batteries with two (2) new AA alkaline batteries (see page 8). PROBLEM: Mode key blinks when you press a key, but home entertainment device does not respond.
SOLUTION: Make sure you are aiming the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control at your home entertainment device and that you are within 15 feet of the device you are trying to control. PROBLEM: The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control does not control home entertainment devices or commands are not performing properly.
SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device brand being set up. Make sure all home entertainement devices can be operated with an infrared remote control. PROBLEM: TV/VCR combo does not respond properly. SOLUTION: Use the VCR codes for your brand. Some combo units may require both a TV code and a VCR code for full operation (see page 12). PROBLEM: No volume on a second TV. SOLUTION: Follow instructions in Changing Volume Lock (see page 27). PROBLEM: Channel L, Channel M, and Previous CH do not work for your RCA TV.
SOLUTION: Due to RCA design (1983-1987), only the original remote control will operate these functions. PROBLEM: Changing channels does not work properly. SOLUTION: If original remote control required pressing ENTER to change channels, press ENTER on the remote control after entering a channel number. PROBLEM: Tried Search Method and still could not find a working code.
SOLUTION: Try the Search Method again after clearing out the device key as follows: Press and hold Setup until mode key blinks twice, then release. Next enter 9 - 9 - 2. Then press and release the device key to be cleared two times. PROBLEM: Remote control does not turn on Sony or Sharp TV/VCR Combo.

SOLUTION: For power on, these products require programming TV codes on the remote control. For Sony, use TV code 0000 and VCR code 0032. For Sharp, use TV code 0093 and VCR code 0048.
